Will Smith for Stoke, heads it in 1-0, nice build up featuring Jojic , Ty & Lowe, their first chance and they converted Fortunately for Chris Rock, he was not in attendance during the celebration 😂

Surely some of these players should be getting some first team minutes soon?
Save us some transfer fees…..

From what i've just watched Lowe, Reddin, Sidibe, Tezgel, Maccarron, should all be getting minutes from the bench Jojic, Dixon, Sparrow & Smith will be in the mix soon enough...thats most of the team!

What's needed is a bridge between the youth team and the first team Reserve team football was a step up from kids football, sure a development loan can do wonders but right now Lowe and company need an opportunity Not having reserve team football is denying that opporunity We can't shift Gayle and Wes off their juicy contracts till the summer but we can give Lowe and Tezgel minutes they have been getting instead, got to be confident the crowd would be right behind that too This recent free scoring run has to be built on by giving them first team ASAP

Their team is generally made up of U19’s, U18’s, U17’s and even Under 16’s (Emile Heskey’s younger son). Not surprising. Anyone close to 21 at Man City is surely either in their first team, or making them money by being loaned out at a premium. They won the competition in the last three years though? This doesn’t show last season: www.premierleague.com/premier-league-2-explainedDidn’t know there are now 26 teams in one division rather than two: www.premierleague.com/tables?team=U21

Be good to bring Lowe on instead of Gayle and Wesley 100% Lowe has scored as many goals in that single game tonight games as Gayle has scored since he joined in 2022 Reddin looks a real prospect too with some proper chops to beat a man, him and Jnr overlapping together on the right could be exciting

Not seen much of Redfin but trust your judgement

Surely the goal should be lots of truly competitive game time. Back in the day I used to go to all the central league games. Perhaps the truth of the matter is the FA have succumbed to the loan gravy train of the top clubs. Tonight just proves it, Nathan is too good for U21s but not good enough yet for first XI. The old Central league or equivalent would have put him in the mix with squad players from top clubs.

Our loan arranger, whoever it is, if we even have one, needs to get his/her/their arse in gear and get some decent half season loans for some of these prospects. No point in them warming the bench and getting 5 minutes to run the clock down. It will do them no good at all. We might as well use Wesley and Gayle as bench fillers until the summer.

Well that was a lively conclusion. Couple of late goals & a red card to boot when Man City started to lose their heads! Great hearing the ref blow up for full time straight after the spot kick hit the back of the net!
The team grew with confidence as the match went on & to be fair seemed to improve when Campbell & Wilmot were swapped, nothing against either of them pair, they got minutes in their legs but the players looked more comfortable when the regular squad members got introduced.
Stoke definitely put Peps fledglings to the sword, would have expected more from the Man City production line but I suppose their league position suggests they're struggling as a whole, not just this evening.
My only concern from such a good performance by the lads this evening is that Man Citys scouting radar will have been alerted to our star performers such as Sol Sidibe, Nathan Lowe & Emre Tezgel..
SSS will have definitely been impressed by what he saw tonight anyhow. Nathan Lowe will definitely have cemented himself a place on the bench and the fringe of the first eleven plans going forwards.

The team we started with was massively unbalanced so it’s not surprising it improved with the subs tbh.
Bloody good win though!
