U21 team

[Bergen Blade]

John Pemberton mentioned in his last BP interview that we're going to have an U21 team and that we're hiring another coach for them. Will this effectively just be our reserves? Is it another crack at a development squad or something all new?

If he can the games for them it's a great idea IMHO

I guess its only a good thing if they are getting competitive games and being allowed to develop.

But the main thing is that this should be a bridge between the academy and the first team so that the players are ready when they come to the first team.

Does anyone have any insight into how Danny and Pembo get along? I would imagine that their footballing philosophies are similar and the fact that Slew (before he left), Lowton and Harry saw first team action.
