Watched the game delayed cos getting up at 0200 and dominating but not winning annoys me so much and never able to sleep again. That scenario almost happened again. Bielsa may be a "genius" in the way he plays but he is a stubborn fool in who he plays. The swift flowing counter attacks are fine until they break down and possession lost. AGAIN by the same player ( who had a better game than usual, but in my book, has had far too many chances after awful performances) . Wouldn't be surprised if our young talent don't move on to first team football with Luton or whatever, cos they're not being rewarded for their outstanding U-23 performances. Just my opinion.

You have a point about the young talent possibly moving on Octi
So next season the likes of Drameh and Geldhert and possibly Summerville, Greenwood and McAlmont need to be given first team opportunities coming on from the bench to see if they can make it at this very high level.
Personally I believe only Cody Drameh and Joe Geldhart are good enough for EPL.

Who would you play instead Octo?

Can't see any of the U23 squad, or any of those on loan at the moment, wanting to leave just yet
As a squad they have phenomenal momentum with the carrot of promotion and piting themselves against the cream of U23 talent. As individuals they have amazing coaching and playing system. Just look at the playing careers of those who have played for Bielsa previously. He and his team create top quality players.
I am looking forward to seeing the youngsters in the U23 top league. We shall find out so much about them once they are challenged.

I agree axe. With the exception of one or two who might get into a championship team, I don't think temperature majority of the u23s would benefit massively from going to a L2 team permanently.
