Would definitely suggest Morro is in the squad on Wednesday, if they didn't think he was ready I would imagine he would have played in the U23 game.

Yeah Morrison will be in the first team squad. Along with Clarke, Camara, Bristow, Holzman, Ashcroft and Stickland, as long as they aren't missing due to injury.

Whats happened to Ehibhatiomhan? Injured I assume?

Stickland, Abbey , Samuels and Senga seem to have been absent from recent U23 squads. Does anyone know if they are all injured too?

Whoops missed him on the team sheet.

Abbey has missed most of the season - might be wrong but I'm not sure he's recovered from the injury he got playing for the first team.

Samuels has been injured since November.

Stickland - yes, believe he picked up an injury recently which is why he is nowhere to be seen.

There is one more- top prospect Harvey Maunder- scored lots of goals for the U18’s has done his acl sadly.

Abbey is meant to be pretty decent isn’t he? Or is that Samuels?

Samuels is certainly better than Bristow !!

Abbey is meant to be pretty decent, I remember Mehmet Ali saying earlier in the season that he isn't too far away from first team football and would definitely hold his own in League One.

I have seen Samuels a couple of times at U23 level and thought he looked very good. Abbey also looked pretty tidy too.
