The reserves squad consist of:
Lewis Killeen, SC, 19 yrs.
Ryan Mallon, SC, 19 yrs. On loan to Halifax.
Jake Speight, SC, 16 yrs.
Daniel Sloane, SC - 18 years old.
Ashley Sestanovich, FC - 20 years old.
Daniel Wood, FLC - 18 years old.
Jonathan Forte, AML - 15 years old.
Ian Ross, MC - 16 years old.
Adam Baum, D/MR - 19 years old.
Owen Morrison, AMRL - 20 years old, valued £70K, Northern Irish. Earns £1200 per week.
Rob Nugent, DC - 19 years old.
In the U19s we have 24 players between 18 and 16 years of age.
According to my assistant manager, the default lineup would consist of
GK Kenny,
DL Yates, DC Murphy, DC Page, DR Kozluk,
ML Brown, MC Tonge, MC McCall, MR Ndlovu,
FC Windass, FC Allison.
Substitutes: Jagielka, Cryan, Smith, ten Heuvel, Croissant, Javary, Peschiolido, Doane.
I would rather see Kabba replacing Allison in that squad, and question the choice of placing Brown on the left, when he'd probably be best suited alongside Tonge in McCall's spot.
That leaves Grant Smith as the only option at ML, as Ndlovu plays on the right.
I assign my three scouts to youth players, UK and Ireland and England to start searching for prospects. The main need initially is at winger, where we could use one extra at both sides.
We also need a reserve goalkeeper.
I place Doane, Croissant and Cryan on the reserve team, leaving Ullathorne, McCall and Thompson as the backups at defender.
At midfielder we put Cas on the transfer list - his £3000 wage has to be unloaded as quick as possible. Cas and Javary are demoted to the reserves. Jagielka and Montgomery stays in the first team.
The attackers we demote are ten Heuvel, Onoura and Asaba, which leaves Peschisolido and Allison as the backups behind starters Kabba and Windass. For a little longer term we need more young talent here.
