WANDERERS have some promising young players, but how has their use of youth compared to their League One rivals over the past season?
George Johnston has been a regular starter for the Whites, while James Trafford and Aaron Morley have had plenty of game time since arriving in January.
Ian Evatt’s men rank 15th in the division for game time offered to players aged 23 and below, according to The Portsmouth News.
MK Dons lead the way in League One, with the likes of Scott Twine, Warren O’Hora Harry Darling become important members of the side.
Wycombe find themselves at the other end of the list, with Anis Mehmeti the only young player to receive regular playing time this season.
