Perth Glory Coach Dave Mitchell has stated that if he remains in the post for next season he would like to see the Youth League fixtures played at least 24 hours prior to the first team.
This will enable him to give players on the fringe of selection a run and make a decision based on watching them in a game situation.
Yesterday’s game versus the Brisbane Roar being a case in point when he gave both Andrijia Jukic and Tommy Amphlett forty five minutes game time, and based on that will decide on who he feels will be better suited to have a place on the bench.
It certainly would be more enjoyable than an early morning fitness test and sounds a sensible strategy for the future.
