In my mind they are included. I think KR would like a really strong first XI, with a very good bench able to cover injuries, which makes 18 squad players so far. And then the U23s, with maybe one or two of those guys making the bench to cover the guys that are covering injuries in the XI.
I could be wrong, but there's a lot of talk this season about 'quality over quantity', and giving young players a real shot at first team action.
They were announced by the club as under 23 players, part of the squad we are building up to compete against other such squads.
We need a clear distinction between that squad and a separate first team squad of no less than 23.
