Under-21 Euro 2023 Qualifying

Lovely squad. Back to 4 at the back hopefully. There are too many nice attacking midfielders there not to play to our strengths. Love Hodge. 

Strong squad and guessing we will return to 4-3-3 for these games. Hard to call who will start up front but the rest of the team is fairly settled. Thought we might see Promise Omochere in there, he has been a real handful anytime I've seen him play for Bohs. 

Agree with all the above.
Sorry yeah, I missed out on the missing Cashin.
Good to hear he's linking up and it's just admin holding him back.

The midfield is especially strong, and the great hope is more than one of these guys gets established in the next two to three years at decent levels, and become regulars in the seniors.

Yeah, but unfortunately Jim Crawford is the coach.

Should Lee Harkin not be getting in squads?

I'd have been a critic of Crawford's but tbf we looked a different animal when he finally went away from this tedious 4-3-3 possession style he was trying to play with one striker up top looking lost and went with 2 up top/5 at the back.

Looking to next year it would be good to see Springett, I'd like to see johansson and luka connell get another chance to promote themselves. That's not going to happen now as they both age out after this campaign that most likely ends in this window, barring excellent results. Johansson is on his first loan and if he's as good as was thought, should come on for that when he goes somewhere else next season. Connell is playing senior football albeit at a very poor level. Needs to push himself to get higher up the ladder, if he has that in him.

That midfield is very strong by any U21 standards if you look at the level some of them are at. Hopefully that will reflect in the senior side in the next few years. Coventry Kilkenny and Hodge all look the perfect type to slot in alongside Cullen in the coming years.

As we went defensive to get a result. Good chance we spent more time in a 5-4-1 than we did actually playing 3-5-2. With CBs named I doubt he's gonna play three at the back too.

Anybody know what’s happening re Okoflex ? You’d think he should be in the squad.
