Sorry if this has already been posted but Luke Mariette and Tayt Trusty have gone out on loan to Curzon and Hyde respectively.
It looks like the u/16s &17s are going to get more of an opportunity as the season draws to a close.
The league games have always been looked at as a development opportunity as opposed to a "must win".

I take it, with half of our youth team now out on loan, this is a more junior side?
Must be a mix of 2nd years and younger ones. Johnston and Harrison are both 2nd years i think, Johnston scored a few earlier in the season, not sure if he's been injured as seems to have disappeared lately. Harrison is a midfielder i think and seems to be getting a few lately but im sure Insider has more knowledge than me

Only watched the first half today.
The starting 11 only included 4 players that started against Chelsea, Squires, Strawn, Francis and Matshazi.
None of those players have been given contracts yet.
The Academy didn't publish the starting line-up today so I didn't actually know who the number 3 or number 8 were.
In the absence of the dynamo duo in midfield (Mariette & Trusty) Bolton dominated the game early on and deservedly took the lead.
Pool did come back into the game after about 30 mins but I left it at HT.
James Harrison is a striker/winger.
John Johnston is a live-wire striker who is on a pro-contract. He started the season in great shape and his form has dipped. Jake Daniels has taken his place.
Not sure what has gone on there.
Quite a few players missing today who might have played but Academy matters are frequently shrouded in mystery so I can't tell you why.
