17th Nov vs Canada
15th Dec vs Mexico
12th Jan vs Macedonia
2nd Feb vs England
9th Feb vs Scotland
16th Feb vs Cymru

I think we should take on Deutschland.
If I remeber correctlty we dont usually play them in friendly, World Cup, or U-21.

Well since everybody seems to be able to add there 2 cents here is mine.
I think we should play smaller countries or agreed upon B squad games. Some managers would appreciate seeing there national team benchwarmers play.

I agree with dagwood.
We should play teams like Honduras, Ukraina, Japan, Vietnam teams like that!

I say lets play anyone as long as they are NT friendlies and not U21 friendlies that serve minimal purpose
Some users would disagree with that, saying U--21 friendlies can be used to give the younguns extra training
=p

Training? I think not.
If a player has enough potential to warrant getting some NT experience then the coach can put him into a regular old NT friendly any time he wants. All making it an official U-21 friendly does is force the manager to weed up some 21 year olds that will never have a space in the squad over the 22 or 23 year old that is sitting on the sidelines not playing for utterly no reason other than the U21 label on the match.

yeh, that's because there's no official u-21 teams yet=p
If I owned a Nats player, I'd prefer he only play in meaningful games. Leave the friendlies to the fringe players.
I have no plans to waste friendlies, but at the same time, I certainly won't be doing just what I do in the qualification games in them!
I've already asked Seca and Canada for a friendly on the 17th November, as I'm sure that would be a popular match :)
