I agree about him looking fitter this season Gringo - he certainly has no problem lasting the ninety minutes at Under 18 level.

I see the Development team are playing at Bristol City at 1 o clock today

No news on the team yet, but my guess is that we may see one or two first team squad members involved because they'll want players like Harris, Welch and, possibly, Rhys Abbruzzese for tomorrow night's Youth Cup game.
