@R_by_Ryo @BenMabley sadly I fear you may be correct!

[Blog Gamba @BlogGamba]

@R_by_Ryo @BenMabley Yeah, I’m enjoying the young players getting a go now but I’m very sceptical if it’ll continue in 26/27 when they can be used in the new U-21 league and when finishing mid table in J1 isn’t really seen as a success

[Blog Gamba @BlogGamba]

@R_by_Ryo @BenMabley Do you think Omiya will continue to be an outlier with their youth policy (using a number of high schoolers and 18/19 year olds semi-regularly) or potentially could other clubs follow in their footsteps if they think they might be onto something?
