Harsh on Buchanan and Whittaker not to start when they're two of the few players to actually be playing first team football.

GK, Hammond - Fulham U23s
RB, Lawrence - Chelsea U23s
CB, Harwood-Bellis - Man City U23s, 2 games in the League Cup
CB, Elese - West Ham U23s, 1 game in the League Cup
LB, Thomas - Leicester U23s, 1 game in the League Cup
CM, Maghoma - Brentford B
CM, Doyle - Man City U23s, 1 game in the League Cup
CM, Ramsey - Villa, late sub in a PL game, 3 other games in the cup.
RW, Gordon - Everton U23s, 2 games in the League Cup vs Salford and Fleetwood
LW, Amaechi - Hamburger B, late sub in the cup for the first team
CF, Balogun - Arsenal U23s

 

Others in the squad to actually be playing professional football are John-Jules (Doncaster) and Garner (Watford). I don't understand the logic

With Lee Carsley being the head coach of the U20s he probably doesn't want to be seen favouring his old clubs' players. He'll add them in 1 at a time until we have nearly all the team from Derby County representing England.

All premier League clubs in the eleven except Maghoma (Brentford) and Amieichi (Hamburger B). Usual crack in other words

It was a friendly, with most of the the starting XI like you said, not really playing first team football for their clubs, isn't it more logical to not involve those as much, with injuries more likely?

The U23 side has picked up two free-agents this week.

Goalkeeper George Sykes-Kenworthy and Midfielder Louie Watson.

 

GSK (21) was at Bradford while Watson (19) was at West Ham.

Goalkeeper George to break 

21 year old from Bradford City. Been on loan over the past couple of seasons to non-league. Strange that we've got another GK in with Ravas (out on loan) and Idem hovering between first team and U23s, as well as Yates, Foster and Halwax

19 year old attacking mid from West Ham, where he was on the fringes of their U23 squad. Another added to the Irish contingent.

Sorry - I just posted in the transfer thread before looking on here. Feel free to delete there if not high profile enough to merit their own threads.

No worries; will leave em. I just didn't bother as they don't usually tend to get much traffic

I may ask David when he returns to create a pinned thread in Transfers to track the comings and goings of academy players in one place.
