At what point do some of these lads get a chance at first team level ? ( and yes I am aware of McNeil )

When they are seen as good enough to replace the 1st team player in the squad. Even players like Daniel Agyei, who scores regularly at u23 level, has struggled when out on loan at L1 level. Dunne is on loan at a decent level for the season and I believe I read that BFC are touting McNiel to SPL and Championship teams for loan.

When they are anywhere near, these are u19s & u20s just now and only McNeil is anywhere near.

Interestingly, McNeil is not included in the team today.

1-0 up, Jordan Cropper.

Hopefully that’s not due to injury.

Hopefully in tomorrow night's squad??!

Unless he has an injury, they never get reported for the u23s.
