Having some of these very young players in the line up on Friday and again Sunday is very poor planning IMO.

Have loaded up with carbs and used a ton of emotional energy. They can then either try and burn some off Friday night or Saturday and then try and do it again to get ready to play against men on Sunday. By which time they won’t be near in best place to play.
It all seems very amateurish to me.
Pick them in 1 squad or the other but not 2 squads in 3 days.

Do we have enough players to cover both games with reserve players though? Weve currently only 4 players contracted to reserve team contracts.
