Shame as he always looked a tidy player and I know Bayern rates him highly. It'll be interesting to see how he gets on now he's playing mens football. I really hope he does well.
Good luck Danny lad!

I thought he was meant to be pushing for a first team start...we really do seem to struggle to bring young players through
Good luck to the lad

Looks like Broome is back from his loan at Mickleover.
He was really impressive by all accounts. I wonder if we’re looking to send him out to somewhere higher up the pyramid?

Would be good if that were to be the case. With Federeci most likely let go, Butland gone Broome and bursik have a good chance of hitting 2nd/3rd choice keeps.

Not sure what's going on with him. He returned to Stoke in December but then was back in goal for Mickleover on New Year's day v Nantwich and I was told somebody had had a word with Rory and got him back for the rest of the season. Not been seen since and today they played another gk they've got in on loan so perhaps it was just a one off match.

Hence my presumption that we may have another loan lined up for him. He’s better than youth football, 18s or 23s. He needs to be playing proper football.

Apparently he picked up a thumb injury playing for the u18s but will be back at Mickleover when recovered, hopefully next week.

No overaged players should be playing for the 23s irrespective of what I think should be happening for the first team. It's not what it's designed for.

I agree for the most part, but I doubt that the club care if a young lad misses a few games in January if it means saving hundreds of thousands before the end of the season.

I don't buy that it will make any difference for a club wanting them either sorry. They'll know exacly what Hogan and Diouf about without watching them in a youth game.

You’re right, for scouting purposes it’s not important. But who wants to sign a player who hasn’t played in any format for months? Having them play and score goals in the U23s is useful in that a club can see that they are relatively match sharp and wouldn’t need 5 games to get there.

Organise something behind closed doors and invite the world and his wife to watch. This is a development game and should be used only as such.

Ok What do you do with all the players who don't play? At some point we might need Diouf (& even Hogan you never know), they need some form of match sharpness If there was actual reserve football then yes U23's should exclusively be for young players, but there isn't. The club would be remiss not to use the opportunity to give the like of Diouf, Shawcross, whoever a run out. Not playing them at all and then chucking them into first team football after a long time is stupid

Hopefully, it's just a massive shop window for Hogan & Duffer.
If we aren't going to use them, which looks very likely, then get them off the wage bill and hope MO'N has a 21 - 25 yr old, cheap, Nor Irish Plan B.

They shouldn't be playing in games designed for youth player development. They don't want to be there and they usually make the side worse and it helps no one.

Closed door friendlies cost money and are even less competitive than the U23s. You say that the only point for the U23s is for development, but if it was that black and white, over 23’s wouldn’t be allowed in at all. It’s the primary reason for the structure yes, but flexibility is there for cases just like these.

do we have an option to get them off the wage bill, they are not our players and are contracted until the end of the season?

You've agreed that bit is meaningless for someone scouting these two. Just shows what a farce it is. It is a development team in a development league. It is the sole purpose of it.

Surely behind doors friendlies are exactly that - behind doors so nobody watches which means nobody can scout the likes of Duffy and Hogan.
