Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle intends to play the kids in tonight's Carling Cup tie with Macclesfield.
Teenage defender Joe Riley is already pencilled in for his debut, whilst Mark Connolly and Adam Blakeman are also expected to be involved.
Coyle insists this should not be viewed as disrespecting the tournament.
Rather he feels it is an essential method of building a bond between club and supporters, just asSir Alex Ferguson has done at nearby Old Trafford.
"Look at Manchester United last night," said the Scot, referring to their 3-0 win overTottenham.
"I know they have brought Phil Jones and Chris Smalling in but they have developed Danny Welbeck and Tom Cleverley.
"To see those players playing for one of the best teams in world football is good for the future, not only of Manchester United, but of English football in general.
"There are good young players out there and clubs are looking to develop them."
