Olusesi, Byfield & LWB probably on the bench again Tuesday , not in the squad today.

Can’t make my mind up on that Lankshear red think the oppo went down and played it well though!

That's definitely a red for me.
Lankshear stops looking where the ball is, focuses on the defender and sprints straight into him at full force with no eye on the ball and no attempt to play the ball and just barges him over.

When is that a red?

 

[Glenda's Legs]

When is that a red?

[Dons tinfoil hat] Whenever Spurs are playing?

 

[Finney Is Back]

When is that a red?

I thought that should've been a straight red instead of a second yellow. Clearly goes for the player's face with shoulder and elbow. Looked like a 'retaliation' kind of challenge. Had their centre back stuck one on him a short while before that?

Anyone know if this is a highly rated youngster or is it filling out the youth ranks?

Looks delighted to be here

With Odobert out for the rest of the season who steps up from the U21's & academy to fill out the bench.
Byfield & LWB who have made the bench recently although having appeared for the U21's a few times are actually listed on the Spurs website as First Year Academy Players and not part of the U21 squad.
Craig is the most senior U21 but he has only just come back from a long term injury, Olusesi, Kyeremarten , Cassanova, can any of them step up and do a job in the PL .
New coach is going to have to work miracles unless we get some of our lesser injuries back soon.

You never know if a youngster can make that step, Byfield, Olusesi and Williams-Barnett look the best players but 2 are very young, I don't think Cassanova will make it. Young players need the support of senior players and few of ours are performing well or showing enough character currently to help them.
I would take a punt on Williams-Barnett without expecting him to turn things round immediately, like most he needs time and know he can make mistakes. Playing in front of a booing mob won't do much for any young players confidence.

Agreed; all of the better prospects are out on loan, as they were ready and robust enough to have a loan. Those that are left are not really ready.

E.g. they can come on for 20 minutes and try, but they are not ready for significant minutes 3 times per week.
