I imagine with the Youth Cup game, they want the best possible team available. Hence the inclusion of more first teamers in the U21 squad then we'd normally see.
Here’s how our U21s line up against AFC Bournemouth U21s in this afternoon’s Premier League Cup tie: Adegoke; Hobden, Toure, Bakrin, Dench; Gough (c), Santos, Hand; Rylah, Mbick, Ladapo
Subs: Batt, Adigun, Mwamba, Enslin.
Very young side.
Asiimwe and Anderson not with the U21s, unlike Tuesday, so presumably have travelled with the first team.
No Ward either but may not be able to play overage players in these cup games

FOUR 1st team players in the Team !
Makes the squad for tonight's match somewhat simpler.
Taylor and McGrandles back from injury, Asiimwe and Anderson not in the first team squad, Ward in goal.
Assume 11 is Tolu not Freddie
All U18s in FA Youth Cup action
The counter argument is they could get injured in these games but that could happen in training anyway
only post in 23 mins from Watford. We must be dominating.
Doesn't sound very exciting or Watford only report their own attacks.
WFC 1 - CAFC 0 45 mins.
Wet and windy conditions at London Colney. Watford's training ground is next to Arsenals.
2-0

Losing 1 - 0
A strange day to schedule an U21 game. Fine for Bournemouth as they don't have a first team game, but we do.
