In the starting 11 I make that:

u21s: MacLorg, Hunter, Bower
u18 2nd years: Mwamba, Safa, Fullah
u18 1st years: Valentine, Elliott, Reid, Sol-Loza, Tagoe

Bench all u18 1st years except Sadler the GK who’s a 2nd year.

Suggests a good number of u21s will be involved Tuesday vs Bromley in the Bristol Pizza Cup - any of Reid, Laqaratabua, Toure, Gough, Hobden, Rylah, Kedwell, Huke, Enslin, Casey, and Mbick aren’t involved today. We’ve got Asiimwe and Dixon to add to that too.

Gough, Huke, Casey and Mbick were all injured as of mid/late October so could still be out.

Good research @scoham

Assume the U18s side that lost to Brentford B yesterday was even younger.

Dixon will be with the Jamacia side though.

And Reid was with the first team yesterday

90+1’ GOALLLLLL | Ibrahim Fullah adds our second in additional time 🎯

Alan Mwamba lifts a ball over the Stockport defence, allowing Fullah to take it round the keeper and slot into an empty net!

Unless we are playing rush goalies, that was a different Reid.

Good win and a clean sheet for a very young side, though we don’t know how young Stockport’s team was for comparison.

They were very strong in the reverse fixture.

What a great story.

Really admire someone like him who had to go the long way.

Explains the Small England call up too, perhaps.

We are due to play away at Ashton Gate at 1pm today.
I doubt if Bristol City will provide a stream, but you never know.

Here’s how our U21s line-up in this afternoon’s PDL2 fixture against Bristol City: Reid; Mwamba, Toure, Hunter, Bower; Kedwell (c), Safa, Fullah; Rylah, Sol-Loza, Tagoe Subs: MacLorg, McMillan, Washington-Amoah, Reid, Dawkins

No Enslin, training with the first team maybe?

Maybe, and Laqeretabua isn’t there either.

Line up reads like a 4-3-3 with Mwamba at RB.

Very young bench with all 4 outfield players being 16/17. Another 2 starting in Sol-Loza and Tagoe too.

Scoham

Bristol City’s academy X account is sharing more regular updates. They’ve put a couple of chances over the bar and blocked a dangerous ball we put across the 6 yard box.

Is it usual to have so many consecutive away fixtures, it must be the last 3 or 4 games.

Looks like a classic:

What's happened to Micah Mbick, is he injured? Thought he might have been involved in the Bromley game.

Hadn't heard that but was told it was long term so figures.

Was told by one of the parents at an under 18s game.
