I know Henry is joking but we do have a relatively small U21 squad and want to utilise them in the first team which could mean this happens more. Mbick did it in pre season too. Obviously none of that is down to investment though, more faith in the U18s
I wondered why Enslin didn't get the start last night, and it's because he got over an hour at lunchtime
A bit weird to play an hour for the U21s at lunchtime, then also play a part in a first team game later that day.
Kind of suggests that we treat the League Cup about as seriously as a pre-season friendly. Which probably isn't too far from the truth this season with the priority being to get established in mid-table.
Kai's first team debut was after hr played for the under 21s earlier in the day.
Wasn't his debut, he featured last season
I have a vague recollection of this happening for his debut too though. In my mind the club hadn’t realised Edun was suspended and Enslin was a last minute replacement
He played a full game in the EFL trophy last season, I sat Infront of his parents for the match and his mum was the most excitable person in the ground every time he touched the ball, it was lovely to see

Just checked the fixtures and definitely got the playing for the U21s bit wrong
Enslin has to be one we’re potentially loaning out if the right opportunity becomes available. He turns 20 in a few months and for me last season he showed he’s progressed beyond u21 level, he needs to be tested in senior football.

Surely somewhere like Bromley would be perfect for him. Play a back 5 and with 10s so could play there or WB

That’s part of it, but also the club has need a LWB, and be willing to take a chance on a young player in his first loan.
Being left footed and versatile can only help him, got to be better getting senior game time even if it’s at LW or CM over another season of u21 football.

Did I say it was this season?
Sure, but no-one ever talks about someone's first game of the season as their "debut", a debut is always a player's first game at a club, or a youngster's first game for the senior team.
