    The embarrassing, and hardly that complimentary to UEFA, thing is that I know next to nothing about this Nations League and even less about what happens after the mini groups are over - my understanding is that we can qualify for Euro 2020 if we do well enough against Denmark and the Republic, so presumably they must be competitive internationals?

    I've read several explanations of it and I still don't understand it

    Here's an explanation on the Nations League I wrote a couple of weeks back on it, hopefully this well help. I'm no expert in it but I understand it quite well so pop me any questions you may have.

    Who's the genius who thought that lot up then .

    Thanks for the explanation, but I have another question, if the regular qualification groups are only running from March to November next year, it has to mean either that the groups are smaller than last time or teams are only going to meet each other once doesn't it?

    Cameron Coxe and Mark Harris make the Under 21 squad, but the fact we only have two in it, when we tend have four or five in, say, Under 17 and Under 15 squads offers more proof of how we struggle to maintain youngsters development between their late teens and early twenties.

    I see that Ashley Baker of Sheffield Wednesday, released by us when Russell Slade was in charge I believe. has made the squad.

    No there are 5 groups of 5 and 5 groups of 6, everyone will play each other home and away. There will be two games played in every international break for the group of 6 and one day out of the 9 off for the group of 5 (March, June, September, October, November).

    Regarding Ash Baker, he has just broken into the Wednesday team and is apparently a very promising talent. Regan Poole is the other obvious name that was let go.

    Surprising to see Matt Smith and Tyler Roberts in the senior squad, but can do them good being around the first team.
