People keep saying it's a tin pot cup now under 23s are allowed in. Is it them Vs is attitude? Would you moan of the first teamers were allowed to play? Someone give me a genuine reason why they dislike it instead of the baaaaa sheep reasons
It's insulting to teams down the pyramid having to play a team full of players who look about 12. It only goes to highlight how lopsided the strength of squads are throughout the game if under 23 teams can compete against clubs lower down. For me, if these players can compete with league 1 and 2 teams they should be playing in those leagues, thus improving the quality of the whole pyramid. Rather than being harvested at the top. I know many won't agree with me but that's what I think, should be playing lower down and move when they are ready to play at said level. Rather we play the proper team and lose 8-0 than us playing the u23s any day of the week.
