I was looking at the fixtures and we have quite a nice run of midweek games we should be playing the second string. I'm hoping we get to see a few of the youngsters e.g. Doak, Quansah, Badger, Elliot amongst those who are rotation within our first team e.g. Gakpo, Thiago, Gravenberch, Tsimi.
It should be ideal for Gravenberch to get up to speed given he barely played last year. And I hope a few of them really step up.
Our midfield of Badger, Jones & Gravenberch is actually quite exciting for a second string.
These games are:
21st Sept - LASK (A)
27th Sept - Leicester (H) - EFL Cup
5th Oct - Union Saint Gilloise (H)
26th Oct - Toulouse (H)
This would give nice rests to the first team for some big games in between these with West Ham, Spurs, Brighton & Everton all between these.
Big test of the squad, and great opportunity for players to get into form.
