We're lacking in centre mids, because the club has let go/loaned out a lot of players: Baxter, Wallace, Mustafi, Forshaw, Bidwell, and Barkley. Admittedly a lot of these went out on loan, but the loans were spread out.
As well as McAleny and Junior picking up injuries.
Our U21's tend to be a bit younger than the opposition, the results might be bad, but in the long run it should help with their development.
