A few different inferences that Troy is on the bench today.
He is with the team anyway: https://twitter.com/thespursweb/stat...391316480?s=19
And Robbie Keane posted a photo from the dressing room which shows a Parrott jersey beside Kane's: https://twitter.com/djstevemcgrath/s...877993472?s=19
Squad announcement not for another half hour but his place apparently hinges on whether Dele Alli recovers from injury.
Tuesday and Wednesday night this week could be interesting for a few of our younger players, would expect a few that haven't played yet to get game time in the EFL Cup.
As an aside, Nathan Murphy of Newstalk announced Parrott wasn't in the squad about ten minutes before the matchday squad was posted online by Spurs' social media team. I thought there was an embargo on all journalists until the club itself announces the team? Maybe it only applies to players in the team, not players ommitted?
Irish qualified Conor Noss was on the bench for Borussia Monchengladbach II yesterday against Lippstadt.
Today, he scored the only goal for the U19 side in their 1-1 draw with Fortuna Dusseldorf.
Going by the translation of the game report on the official site - https://www.borussia.de/de/aktuelles...ilansicht.html - it seems it was from a rebound
This was his second goal in two games for the U19 team, after this goal midweekQuote:
the team dominated the game in the early stages and logically in the 23rd Minute also went 1-0 lead. After a nice attack on the right side failed Jonas Pfalz initially still on the opposing keeper, the rebound pressed Conor Noß over the line.
An embargo has no force other than a request to defer publication to a time that suits the club - a journalist can ignore it if they want. Obviously, they run the risk of not getting further press releases, or having the PR person going full Malcolm Tucker on them if they do, but embargoes are really over-used. I've seen them used for the most ridiculous reasons on press releases.Quote:

Armstrong Oko-Flex was involved in all four goals
Does the absence of Ofolabi mean he will be going straight into the first team squad? Or does it mean he was left out to allow Leigh Griffiths some extra game time?Quote:

O'Driscoll and Ledwidge also played but Thomas O'Connor was not in the squad. Meanwhile Kelleher played for Liverpool - guess it's important to keep him active - I'm getting worried he'll get stuck in back-up limbo - his peer Kamil Grabara is playing regularly for Huddersfield now: https://www.premierleague.com/match/...on-v-liverpool
Ethan Varian has been moved up to U23 level for Stoke off the back of his recent goalscoring form, making a 12-minute cameo against Fulham: https://www.premierleague.com/match/...stoke-v-fulham
could be, could be as simple that he's not match fit yet - he hasn't played since the toulon tournament.Quote:

The full game was streamed live, and is available on Southampton's youtube page
Smallbone's goal is on 20:50, maybe a bit lucky that a loose ball falls to him on the edge of the area.
This is all well and good, but it more than likely means that none of the Southampton players will feature against Fulham tonight in the league cup. You'd expect Thomas O'Connor and Will Ferry to be involved.
looks like it, he hasn't travelled with the senior team to Greece for their game against AIK on Thursday, and I can't find anything about an injury, so I don't know why he was excluded from the cup gameQuote:

Jordan McEneff started for Arsenal U21s last night in the Football League Trophy against Northampton, and even more remarkably, U16 cap Mazeed Ogungbo came off the bench for the last few minutes.
Hadn't heard of Ogungbo before this, but he seems to be highly thought of at Arsenal: https://arseblog.news/2018/12/school...g-for-arsenal/
Has some photos playing for Ireland on his instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mazeed_og/
Travers and Kilkenny both starting for Bournemouth
Jimmy Dunne on the bench for Burnley.
