Decent run out today for a few first team players and a number of youngsters.
On Monday I'd guess most of the rest of the first team squad will be back.
Next freindlies are next Friday 28 August we face Championship side, Reading and a day later Birmingham City, on Saturday 29 August.
I guess we'll want to give most of the first team players 60 minutes or maybe a full 90 in one of those matches with youngsters getting the other minutes - a further chance for JM to assess them against EFL opposition.
IMO we may well see Dennis Cirkin, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Harvey White, Jamie Bowden and one or two other youngsters in the early rounds of League Cup and Europa League as in the first month or two of the season we are playing 2 or even sometimes 3 times a week and will need the youngsters to rest some of the first team players with the opposition often no better than Ipswich, Reading or Birmingham.
The domestic Transfer Window (ending mid October) may well mean that in the first part of October a couple of the youngsters then go to other clubs.
