If he gets starting for Newcastle he probably takes that left back squad spot. Depends if Burn gets dropped for Newcastle.
https://www.uefa.com/under21/match/2044604--england-vs-republic-of-ireland/lineups/ It’s been noticed that the UEFA website is saying Joel Ndala is part of the match day squad with number 21. And that Setford is 1 with Simkin at 13.
Wikipedia says that our biggest ever defeat at u21 level was 4-0 against Germany, the game just happening to be the u21 Euro final in 2009! Is that accurate?
Yes but it’s the joint biggest defeat. We’ve only conceded four times on five occasions. The only time we’ve ever let in five is in that game against France before the last Euros.
Gittens as a midfielder? Must be Nwaneri in the hole with Bellingham and Miley behind him wouldn’t it and Gittens on the wing right?
I’m trying to think of the last keeper to play for the U21’s without playing a genuine competitive club game.
Always amazes me how England only somehow get these games on YouTube these days whilst the game is on RTE 2 in Ireland where I’m watching it.
That was a poor penalty. These conditions are awful, could have done with that going in under these circumstances
The Irish commentators said it was a penalty to be fair. At first I thought it was harsh but after the replay, think it was.
