Interesting line-up; Will Collar at right-back, Ben Hall partnering Ben Barclay in the centre of defence.

Looks like Harper may play as the furthest forward (no other recognised striker in the starting 11).

Tyler Forbes also playing further forward (rather than at right-back).

 

[Hugo Rune]

No Hambo or Björdal. Injured or 1st team squad?

 

[RM-Taylor]

Looks like Hornby-Forbes is playing RW where he played a few times for Fleetwood, Ward playing LW

 

[BensGrandad]

No Maenpaa or Ankergren so pretty obviously both required tomorrow against Rotherham.

No Hambo or Björdal. Injured or 1st team squad?

I mentioned on here a few days ago that Hambo had posted a "story" on instagram showing his right knee in a brace. No idea about Bjordal.

Just checking with anyone who knows more about the U23s than I do - do we have a GK on the bench there?


Edit: just seen the post above - question answered!

Is it PoTG?

I see that Albion actually have a media person tweeting from the game tonight:-

They have rarely, if ever, done that in previous seasons (we have had to rely on tweets by the home club before). I wonder if this will be repeated for the rest of the season - perhaps a higher profile for the U23s?

Bailey Vose is the keeper on the bench.
Knew Hambo was injured. Bjordal missing is interesting can't see how or why he would make the bench tomorrow so guessing he is injured.
Thinking Forbes will play fullback so maybe going to play someone in front of the back 4 as an extra line of defence?
Surprised we are starting without a recognised striker (sayings on the bench) but there should be midfield goals from the DS this season.

Hasn't the author just lazily listed the entire U23 squad ?

Just checked the fixtures and our u23's are playing at least 6 times at the Broadfield stadium. Delighted with this as it's just 10 mins down the road from me if that. Plus free entry. Our first home match is there.

I do hope the hosts have remembered their shin pads this time!

A solid start for us and a good point. Back to back home games now with Villa up next. I'll be there

Last year we had a big problem with scoring goals.

If you can't ever make a game, you'll still be able to watch it anyway:-
