Am I the only one irritated by the fact that tomorrow's U21 game against Stoke starts an hour before the 1st team's game against Liverpool.
We sit in 2nd place in the PL2 Div 2, a point behind Southampton but with two games in hand so it shouldn't be an issue, we should win the league but it has implications on the size of the crowd, the potential squad for the first team and the potential team for the U21 match.
Why wasn't the match rescheduled to avoid this fixture clash?

Absolutely agree. Last season we were relegated when lots of our players were on the first team bench.
Chelsea played more experienced players on their last game to send us down. Why put ourselves in a situation where players like Greenwood, Gyabi may not be available for the U21s? Gracia mentioned in his presser that there are players who played in the last game who are not training so it sounds like we may have new injury issues. One or two absentees would automatically weaken our U21s for a really important game. Surely we as a club want promotion back to the top U21 league. Being in the top division gives you far more knowledge about how your players are performing.

Agree completely, everyone should be keeping an eye on the prospects we have in the U21s.
This will affect both squads,terrible decision.
