Tymon, Davies, Oakley-Boothe, Ngoy and Diouf did much to put themselves in the reckoning...... You didn't see the game but your sure none of those players did much? Amazing Comments from someone at the game, as follows, suggest that prestwichpotter assumption is not particularly wide of the mark... Went to the u23s match last night to be frank it rarely works for Stoke when fringe first teamers get thrusted in and I think there are many reasons for that including the understanding that’s been generated in the group etc. We were better when some of them went off tbh

But not well enough for him and a number of first team squad members/over aged players to win the game. And a defence consisting of Davies, Edwards, Shawcross and Tymon found themselves 0-3 at the break. But your post looked very odd. And it seems we were a bit robbed too. My post simply said that I can’t imagine many of the first team squad members did their chances of forcing their way into the first team much good. That’s it really....

Looking at tweets from those there and the clubs feed that didn’t appear to happen.....

Difficult to judge senior players in the stiffs because of so many variables. Fitness building, not knowing each other very well, some players adjusting to the club, lower standard of football and even motivation issues.
It's why I've never really understood why managers put players in that environment then use it as an excuse to not involve them in first team games.
Just give them a run in and around the first team and judge them there.

For all his faults when Charlie Adam was a regular he used to throw himself into the games, for some they’re just going through the motions....

Saw the interview with their gaffer after, Reeled the old line out again, “ you know what you are going to get when you come here, strong at set pieces, blah blah!”

If anyone's going and wants a ticket I have one spare no charge you'd just have to pick it up.

Tonights game is streaming on Man Citys 'City +' service, albeit you have to pay which is a shame
Supposed to have gone - Ad Porters dad is one of my oldest mates and Ad a good friend of my lads from school - but the lurgy has hit our house (not CV19 lol) so am a bit gutted we cant go (but this weather, chest infections not a great mix!)
Anybody know if its streaming anywhere else? You would think the PL would showcase this stuff.

Unbeaten in 6 with the youngsters, the second string come in and we're 3-0 down at half time. Didn't see the game but can't imagine the likes of Edwards. Tymon, Davies, Oakley-Boothe, Ngoy and Diouf did much to put themselves in the reckoning...... It would seem Oakley-Boothe and Edwards did enough, as they were both on the bench Saturday, for the first time playing and again after a period out respectively. Davies if I recall has been there awhile, but doing well or not, he's not going to replace Butland while O'Neill's in charge.

There were other options available for the bench, some more experienced; he still chose the two young men.
