antsalt Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Why do they call it under 21s now and not the reserves? I mean Connor sammon playing for under 21s yet is like 26 or something, seems a bit strange!! Can someone please explain as I can't figure out the logic!!

antsalt Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 Cheers. Just seems ridiculous, call it the reserves like the good old days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 It's just to make sure youngsters are being given a chance. So QPR under 21's for example aren't full of out of favour stars, they have to field over half a dozen youth players too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex W Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 The idea is that changing it around to be an U21 side gives club youth players and academy graduates as much playing time as possible, instead of teams just playing all of their subs in reserve games as many used to do. All part of the push towards helping player development. A supposed 'step up' from youth football for those graduates, but not quite first team action. The three outfield players over the age is needed really, as those subs who used to play reserve games do need a chance to get some match fitness, and if they didn't allow that I suspect most teams would just be forced to organise regular 'reserve friendlies' too. This negates that, for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subman Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Today was a friendly with a very strong line up, no surprise we won and were 2 - 0 up at half time. Next weeks game will reflect a more traditional under 21's line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
