It’s quite interesting when you dig down into the players we have available including the U23s/u18, I.e not that many , what a cock up has been made of registering people for Europa . Of those players I’d only have Charsley and Hornby in the starting squad. Charsley would be a good choice for starting right wingback if we went for a back three. He’s full of energy on the wing , has played full back and is a solid rather than spectacular player who’ll do a job for the team . Hornby offers something different as a striker with his height, so I could see him pitched in at some point. Michael Collins can surely only be cover for the squad CBs, maybe a bench spot if we are desperate. He’s a big strong defender for his age , 17 , but as a 1st Year Scholar has only played about 12-15 games total at u18 , including a few last season as a schoolboy. It would be a big step up for someone of his age.

Personally think anyone who is in the 18 would benefit from a whole week of training and preparation rather than the 3 days or so you'd be away from the main group to go to the Cyprus game (travel Weds, game on Thursday and return early Friday morning)

sharpness comes with games, though

I can see both sides of the coin
 

Onyekuru is currently playing in the Champs League at Celtic Park. He's scored 7 goals in 14 games for Anderlecht this season.

He's 20 years old. He should be in our squad for heaven's sake.
 

How little regard can we pay towards this game without getting in trouble with Uefa? I don't even see the point in Allardyce going over.
