How closely do you follow the Notts County Under-23s?

They take on pretty high-profile opposition from time to time, with the likes of Newcastle, Leeds and Southampton in the Premier League Cup.

Do you think some of them should get a look in the first team this term or are things too high-pressure at the minute?

Let's get your thoughts.

Sam should be in the first team...better option than Louis

You have to say a player like Sam Osborne is crying out to be selected, I would love to see him given a chance. He'll never reach league level unless someone does, but he seems to have the ability, skill and technical aspects to make the grade.

It's down to his fitness and mental strengths, but I think he could.

It won't happen this season for him or many of the others, Neal Ardley clearly wants to go for experience.

I don't really follow them, they could do much better if backed abit more, but under the current situation.. i can see why they arn't.

[thommo]

Very loosely now that the clubs system has become somewhat an inner joke with season after season seeing youngsters given pro deals only in an effort to sell season tickets and turns fans heads.

All as much without a glimmer of real hope they will play.

i keep tabs on the score, i follow some of the young pros but the club could do a lot more in this department tbh.

[cheeky~k8]

I haven't heard much about them compared to what we used to... they seemed to have just stopped advertising and announcing anything.

[super_pie]

I don't really follow them but they seem decent

[cheeky~k8]

The under 23s is something we should be more involved in to thrive and improve the main team.

I used to attend from time to time but I mostly just watch out for news now.

I didn't know there was any news about them nowadays apart from the odd signing.

[batonncfc]

I don't bother and I wouldn't pretend to be interested, it's good to see player getting games but there's nothing to them.

[TheSkipper]

Notts will have to start trusting young players that they produce, but I only look out for the score.

[cheeky~k8]

Notts could do much better using their youths and promote them to the first team.

[BromPie]

The results popup on the clubs social media channels as well as PON, so I just keep an eye on them and any discussions on here.

[CliftonMagpie]

I don't do anything beyond keeping an eye on the scores and scorers, I think there are some good young players but they might not be league ready. I don't know why the club doesn't loan them out sooner after turning pros.

[cheeky~k8]

Maybe we'd all see a few more wins with them.

Alessandra scored a banger for the reserves/ Under 21's.

I’ve started to take more notice when we was in trouble because I thought well if they are playing well why not call the up give them a chance 

[AmericanPie]

It's very hard for me to know what's happening over here but it's an area I am interested in, Osbourne sounds like a good prospect. You have to expose players like him to first team football but in a constructive way.

I don't think Neal Ardley has the time for that.
