Bloody exam at the same time as this. Tom Lawrence will likely be playing for them as well.
Bet Lawrence feels he'd have been better off staying here.
RVP expected to play?
I'd say so, Nigel Pearson has heavily favoured stronger work-horse type players over more technical ones like Lawrence. He had half the Championship looking to take him on loan and Pearson said no to them all and he has given him 14 minutes since. Hopefully with them getting relegated they should be one of the top teams in the Championship and Pearson wont be afraid to use that type of player.
Don't think he will.He's "match fit" enough to be put on the bench ahead of Wilson.
If LVG is consistent, then he will. Likes of Carrick, Herrara, Shaw and Evans have played to build up match fitness.
Adnan and Thorpe are in the travelling squad.
What's the craic with Wilson? Is he injured? (too lazy to dig out his thread and check!)
Full match replay of the last U21s game:
He should be playing tonight...

Should be a stong lineup then.
Very strong. Van Gaal seems an advocate of getting people game time in the reserves.
That is strong.
Is it 3 or 4 over aged players allowed on the pitch?
3 I think.
3 and a keeper. Which means Thorpe is likely out.
Hopefully the guy who put up the West Ham will put this one up after too.
Squad: Rafael, Jonny Evans, Robin van Persie, Adnan Januzaj, James Wilson, Tyler Blackett, Ben Amos, Andy Kellett, Joel Pereira, Liam Grimshaw, Sean Goss, Donald Love, Tom Thorpe, Joe Rothwell, James Weir, Matthew Willock, Ashley Fletcher, Sadiq El Fitouri, Josh Harrop.
Strange that there is no Pereira. Wasn't he on the bench against Chelsea?
Thorpe isn't over aged.Players born in 1993 or after are considered U21s.
Just played for Brazil U20s not so long ago.
Only 16 can be on the pitch or bench so El Fitouri,Fletcher and Willock probably out.
XI probably something like Amos - Rafael,Evans,Blackett,Kellett - Thorpe,Rothwell,Harrop - Januzaj,Wilson,RVP

What's the point in playing Amos? He is leaving in the summer after the expiry of his contract.
I agree. Pereira or Valdes should play.
What's the point of playing Rafael or Evans?
Because they need to play some football and are only an injury away from starting our next league game.
Perhaps they're trying to help him find a club?
For them its not yet certain that they will leave the club regardless of how much us fans wants them to. Amos has said that he will leave.
He's a star man at Bolton.He'll have plenty of suitors regardless.

When did Barmby move to Leicester?
I knew about Lawrence and Powell going there but not him. They've also got a few more of our former lads, Matty James and De Laet springing to mind.

Another classic Joyce lineup.So annoying.
Harrop benched and Rothwell not even in the 16!

Drinkwater as well if he is still there.
Rothwell better have got a knock or this is just a joke. Wtf is Love playing over Rothwell and Harrop for.
Christ, that team is better than the first team!
I think a lot of fans will be surprised after both players stay. The speculation here is insane..
Any rivers about?
Any streams?
