joey6 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Was wondering... does anyone else organise friendlies for their reserve team between league freindlies, ive done it for the first time this season, with tours to fill the 2 week breaks around Europe and the home nations. Just wondering if anyone else has done this and what benefits it has? I'm hoping for faster development of the younger players and possibly more money coming through gate receipts for the home matches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
baker.simon Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 No, never done this. The only reserve friendly i tinker with is to arrange a first team vs reserves game now and then. Just for morale purposes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty-corkcityfc Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Yeah ususally do to give the young reserve players extra experience hoping it will increase their stats! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenco Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I try to make sure they have a game every week, particularly if I have a lot of first teamers returning from injury as it's a good place to get their match fitness back. Sometimes I play them against the under 18s for 4 or 5 weeks running, gives me a good idea of whether my youth are better than my reserves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
straccy vendoli Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 i always arrange a weekly friendly between my reserves and my youth team..the more they play.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsenal_Fan_1986 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 How do you get to opposition reserves to pick them for a friendly. I just tried filling in some gaps and only selected the 1st, I just assumed it would pick reserves automatically? Do you just pick domestic teams too? I thought if there was a big gap send ya reserves on a tour lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
