West Brom interim boss Richard Beale drops hint on youngsters playing a part v Reading
West Brom interim boss Richard Beale has dropped a major hint that he could look to the Albion’s youngsters to play a part in Saturday’s fixture against Reading.
Beale will be in temporary charge of West Brom until a new manager is found, after Steve Bruce’s sacking on Monday morning.
The interim boss confessed that Albion have “definitely more than a couple” of youngsters who are decent at the club and he may look to utilise them on Saturday.
“We’ve got some really good young players at the club,” said Beale as quoted by Birmingham live.
“I’m not going to let you know the team news today, but there are definitely more than a couple of young players at this football club who are decent. We’ll see with the team selection tomorrow.”
Pushing.
West Brom wonders Reyes Cleary and Zac Ashworth continue to push for a place in the first-team squad after impressive outings in the Premier League 2.
However, it seems Cleary may be in with the best shot of achieving a spot in Beale’s first-team squad for Saturday’s game against Reading.
He’s been in sensational form this campaign and is regularly finding the back of the net, the Albion could do with some youthful exuberance up top at the moment.
The Baggies have nothing to lose by giving some youngsters a chance either, the first-team squad have seemed incapable of stringing together a good run of performances this season.
Hopefully, whoever comes into the helm at the Hawthorns will start to promote the youth in the side, with such a talented crop of players it would be foolish not to.
Cleary himself is more than ready to make a meaningful impact, whether that’s from the bench or starting games, he just needs to be given a shot.
