As I'm in gods own county for the week, thought I'd sus out the under 23s tonight. Huffer, gotts, Davis, Diaz, struijk, nicell, Stevens, mccalmont, edmondson, Dalby and Clarke.

Aapo Halme amongst the subs!

Clarke was full of tricks as usual but stand out was the way Edmonson just bossed Bassong, they subbed him lol. Good match but missed a lot of chances, Dalby a bit off his game but Clarke, Edmonson, Stevens, Gotts all looked good and Kamwa when he came on looked a handfull. 1-1 But i think the ref was waiting for them to score before he blew time.

Spot on Bige, have to say guys, great experience if you get the chance, 3 pounds well spent. First time I have seen Clarke so close, magical feet sometimes, Edmundson a beast as I’d Kamwa and he can move with the ball. Struijk, I thought had a good game and with his height could be a prospect and nice to see Halme getting some minutes at the end.

It was also good to get close to Corbaran and his coaching team. He and the team were really gutted to have conceded at the end. As Bige said we should have been home and dry, like to see some highlights but must have created 5/ 6 really good goal scoring opportunities. But the style of play is good and they really want to win.
I would imagine that given this team tonight and the fact there were no early subs that none of these players will be part of tomorrow night, we’ll see.

Clarke is ready to move up, and I was impressed by mccalmont. Strujic and Diaz in a year. Dalby was asked to play a different role tonight as Eds was lead striker, which didn't suit him (Dalby, that is) . All looks good tho. Very pleased!

Leif Davis, the young land who came from Morecambe had a good game as well. Clarke is full of skill but I’m not sure if he’s up to the kind of fitness levels that Bielsa wants.

McAlmont had a strong first half but disappeared a bit in the second . Bit I agree Bright, it’s looks and feels good when you watch them.

Hard to understand why it always seems to be last minute. Can't we just get things done.

Lots of people naming Izzy Brown from Chelsea, attacking midfielder with championship loan experience including Huddersfield’s promotion year.

I thought Izzy Brown was a striker but I could be wrong.

Agree0 Disagree0

Izzy Brown can play striker, midfield or on the wing. Bielsa type of player and probably can cover Saiz role.

Kieran Dowell available as well from Everton was at Forest last season 10 goals 5 assists.

I imagine with a game v Preston on Tuesday and a big game v boro Friday bielsa will be making the changes again .

Blackman I'm sure will start then we got to be looking at playing shaugnessy, tom Pearce, baker Bamford Tyler Roberts Shackleton and Harrison from the start .

Maybe worth looking at a couple u23s .

When u play 3 games every 7-9 days like u do in the champ this is when I look at squad and think maybe we need a couple more first team players to rotate in .

I'm hoping for Preston, Bielsa will name Jack Clarke and Ryan Edmondson among the substitutes.

I’d change whole team except Jansen tbh.
Bigger fish to fry this season than the cara cup.
They all need a rest for Boro game.

Spot on Aus. Jansson needs game time.

Winter conditions, fatigue and big physical sides who park the bus are some of the hurdles we will have to face. Would like to see Pablo rotating with Saiz to try and keep both fresh. Then we will need 4 more players in, a pacy Winger, Centre Half, big defensive Centre Midfield and a big target man striker with pace would be my options . Two this week and 2 in Jan window would do. Fill in any injury gaps in January as well . Shackleton has been a great find and think he can play Right Back or R Wing. The squad might be a little small need to add some height . Are any of the u23's going to be good enough to fill any of the 4 places mentioned?

You’ve got your Christmas list in early 1970! Phil Hay talking about 1 addition likely before the close and given Bielsas comments to date, sounds like it could be midfield.

Be interesting to see the team for Preston as possibly going to see more of the u23s playing or on the bench. Edmondson, Clarke, Dalby, Stevens, Struic, Halme and a recent one to shine Alfie McAlmont, these seem to be the ones to watch, have I missed anyone? some already clearly in Bielsas mind. Shackleton, has shown what can happen if you seize your chance.

I’m excited about the prospects of the development players under Bielsa, we’ve seen what he can do with the first team and that he is open to young players. Imagine how some of them could develop?

It’s also why I think it’s important to keep space for them to come in during the year.

Lets not forget the players out on loan some will be back Jan.

Good point Bige, Lewie Coyle and Mallik Wilks the two who I think are on loan until Jan, both would be good additions back into the wider squad.
