Injuries And Suspensions

[wassy04]

The truth is that we don't know what could happen.

We could lose both full backs after 10 minutes.

Unlikely I know but we shouldn't risk it.

We are not a charity. We are in the results business.

I will be angry and pissed off if Abbott is on the bench just because Yates is suspended.

Hypothetically if we did lose both full backs, would you really want one of Moreno or Toff at RB anyway? I think I'd expect 3 at the back and maybe Dominguez as a RWB, or even Abbott anyway!

Abbott not been in a PL squad (I think) all season so why should he be in now?

I couldn't give a damn about homegrown players on the bench.

I want the best players and the best team and the best squad no matter where they are from or where they grew up.

On what basis does Abbott deserve to be in the squad on Sunday?

Omabamidele and Moreira come into the squad before Zach.

Whether we agree with it or not I wouldn't be surprised if Nuno *did* pick an academy graduate for the squad. I'm sure I read somewhere earlier this season that he was aware of the record and thought it was important.

If Yates is down why not Gardner? Heard he was a massive talent and also physically built for the first team. With PSR always going to be a bit of an issue for our revenue stream then a pipeline to the first team is really important. When did we last have a debit surprise in the team
When you went wow? I would hazard a guess at Roy Keane. Would be good for the lad to hang out and saviour the first team if we do have plans for the yoof to thrive.


Chicago: Succession planner.

Hasn't Ben Perry been on the bench this season?

No only for the cup game.

We already know that if someone is good enough then there is a pathway into the first team fold.

We don't need to have Abbott on the bench to tell us that. Everybody already knows it.

Of course it is up to Nuno and whatever he decides I will respect that.

Personally it's a no from me but I can understand those who may disagree.

McDurban makes a very valid point on another thread about the situation if we qualify for Europe we will need 4 club trained players below the age of 21. At the moment only Moreira is on route to qualify and he hasn’t been here 3 years. The work around is that we name a smaller squad for these games should we get to Europe but its not ideal.

Rules here

Out of the 25, eight places are reserved exclusively for "locally trained players" or homegrown players. Out of the eight, not more than four can be "association-trained players" and the rest must be "club-trained".

It must be explicitly mentioned who qualifies as "locally trained", and also whether they are "club trained" or association trained".

As mentioned before, there are two categories of "locally trained players" players.

"Club-trained" players are those who were on the club's books for at least three years between the age of 15 and 21.

Whereas, he will be considered an "association-trained" player if he was on another club's books in the same association for three years between the ages of 15 and 21.

It must be noted that only four players from this category will be counted among the eight local or homegrown players on List A.

Uefa allows a club to have 25 players on List A, with eight of them reserved for locally trained players or homegrown talent.

However, if a club fails to fulfill the quota of eight players, then the squad size must be reduced accordingly. For example, if a club has named only seven locally trained players then they are allowed to name only 24 players in List A.

All yellow cards are reset after the game with Everton tomorrow so everyone will have a clean slate.

If the Fates take us to the CL we can always pay Cash and get back a BJ.
