MIKE Scott says his Under-18s are “really excited” to begin their FA Youth Cup journey against Lincoln City at The Hawthorns on Tuesday evening (ko 7pm).
Albion’s youngsters face the Imps knowing that a place in the fourth round, where they would be at home to QPR, awaits the winner.
“It’s a big competition for the players, they always look forward to this time of year,” said Scott.
“The lads have an expectation on themselves that they want to do well in this cup.
“They all have a buzz that they’re playing together again, because there’s been a mix of some of them in the Under-23s squad and some with the Under-18s.
