Hi Gary, I know you like stats:
so, what was the average age of all or any one of our starting line ups this season?
Is this our youngest team ever?

Not sure about ever. Date of birth's can be difficult to find, I had trouble with Osadebe's until the programme came out and that corrected others! I've only kept DOB's for a few years and I made the starting 11 against Sheff Utd to 23 and a bit. It has to be the youngest for some time. We also had a very young team for a game under Allen. I thought I kept a copy of it under that season's facts but can't find it. I can try and re-work it out again but it's a little more difficult when done retrospectively.

Thanks don't worry about the game under Mad Dog. That was probably the game at Burton Albion, when we'd already won the league and he was giving all the kids a game, so doesn't really count IMHO
