Southampton U-21's ?

[Saint Garrett]

Is this the 'development side' or actually an under 21 side ?

 

Pulis is 26 ? Dickson and Forecast 23 ? How does this work ?

[SuperSAINT]

U-21's and developmental squad are one-and-the-same, I believe.

 

Martin Hunter is the coach.

Probably just using the term in the same way the Olympics football is an under 23 competition, but allows a few over 23. Would be simpler if they did just always call it the development squad.

Or the reserves!

Where are the high profile European trips they were promised ?

 

I thought that was the reason why the reserve team was scrapped.

 

We can`t afford them maybe ??

It was on the O/S prior to season starting when the reserve team was done away with.

At no point in that article or any other article about the development side did it make any mention of "high profile European trips". You have made that up!

That is different from "high profile European trips".

 

sfc1971, How do you know that some trips abroad haven't been arranged for later in the season? After all we are only in early October.
