Second Team:
Redbacks
been watching the u21 this season, not commenting, just learning. And I gotta say I agree with yodabigs comments. Seems like a kick in the guts to the trainers that they are dropped with 2 games to go. Give the 21yr olds the experience they deserve.

Enjoyed watching this season, hoping to have 2-3 trainees contending for the side in a season or twos time

I don't mind it to be honest as well - especially if blokes that got cut now were bought in as 20yos because the same process was followed last season.

I do it with Cymru every year as i want to encourage the managers of the 20yo's to keep up the training.

We've always done this for seasons which were essentially over.

I could let them play two more games or give next seasons crop 2 games worth of experience and try some new things instead.

Agree to give more notice next time. Next seasons crop will be culled early too if we get knocked out early.

If anything, seeing your 20 year old in the team would motivate you to train harder.

Just need to make a point here about Rylance.

He is in the team now and is the best shooter of next seasons U21 crop. In fact he would be the 2nd best shooter and 3rd best defender if he was in this season's team right now.

As always, I allow others to offer lineups for games and will continue doing so, even if it means Rylance isn't in the team. (Provided the tactics make sense and I agree with the methodology)

Always feel free to pull me up for favoritism if you like. I will happily justify if required.

Last season we had one game left against USA U21. After a horrible season with game shape and a majority of unruly managers who would not listen to my pleas for good Game Shape I decided to promote the 20 year olds. I don't know if you guys remember last seasons crop, but it wasn't grand.

I see no problem with what I did considering 80% of the teams managers did not deserve to have another U21 game, for the ones that did I said thank you to all.

(I don't think you have any issues for the record, he is clearly good enough to be in the team and a regular starter now)

So my player does have a lot of weak points but I'm hoping by the time he's 21 he will be a defensive force and not a full liability on offenders for the U21 team. I hope to get passing to atleast medicore next season. Aswell as training IS and 1v1. Then back to defence and some JR and Passing here and there following season.

What do you guys think
