FT: BIRMINGHAM CITY 0 - 1 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

[Der Kaiser]

This quote implies that the youngsters could put a result at risk. That can’t be the case surely given the useless individuals they would replace?

No it implies that the game is meaningless for us so those who haven't had a chance for whatever reason should be given one.

Birmingham could possibly be relegated, so the clubs around the bottom could complain to the league if we played kids

Wouldn't happen though so not really anything to be concerned with.

The ‘kids’ that are being touted for a start are squad members, aren’t they and there are players as young or younger getting game time for other clubs in our division. There’d be no problem whatsoever playing Ashford, J.Colwill etc, in fact Birmingham may complain that they’re ‘unfairly’ better than the deadwood they’ve replaced.

Several of our youth players have already appeared in a victory over Birmingham this season, including Ashford

I was just going to post something along the same lines. If I were Joel Colwill or Cian Ashford, I'd be insulted by the suggestion that my inclusion would substantially weaken the City teams that took the field against Millwall, Birmingham, Leicester, Leeds, Plymouth, Norwich, Blackburn, Huddersfield, Swansea, Sunderland etc. etc.
