A victory is always sweet.

Still no news of Braiden Graham; he has been out for about three weeks and not a word of his injury if he has one.

No Harrison Armstrong this time as he needs to keep a piece of plastic warm tomorrow afternoon.

Phil (2),

I think the only time you'll see Armstrong play for the U18s is in the FA Youth Cup games.

He should be getting more games for the U21s but I'm not sure that competition improves young players' ability. I think he might get a loan move in January which will test him in the man's game.

Phil,

I guess there was no Harrison Armstrong this time, is because he's not a member of the U18 squad, but the U21s. I don't know if he's still eligible to play for the U18s?

He is eligible for the under-18s but only plays in the Youth Cup. He scored a hat-trick in the last round.

Cheers, John.

Hence the reason why he was not involved today.

Armstrong played 90 mins last Monday for the u21s v Leicester, it shouldn’t stop him being on the bench tomorrow, the chances of him getting minutes though are distinctly slimmer.
