    As I understand it, these are the eligibility rules for this season's competition, for League One and Two teams.

    At least 4, of the 10 starting, outfield players must meet one, or more, of the following qualifying requirements:
    • Started last league match (i.e, Crewe away, i.e. A. O'Connor, P. O'Connor, Richards-Everton, Mellor, Akpan, Devitt, Palmer, Wood, Donaldson & Vaughan);
    • Starts next league match (scheduled to be home against Northampton);
    • Is one of the 10 outfield players to have started the most first team matches this season (I make that A. O'Connor, Mellor, Richards-Everton, Donaldson, Vaughan, Palmer, Henley, Wood, Gibson & Anderson);
    • Has made 40+ first team appearances (for any Club) during their career (that should cover a few more, including the likes of Tyler French, Jackson Longridge, Zeli Ismail, Shay McCartan, Harry Pritchard and Callum Cooke); or
    • Is on loan from a Premier League club (none, unless something happens today).
    So, with very few exceptions, pretty much everybody in our first team squad.

    Bolton signed 9 players today? Some decent ones too.

    My question is, you are limited to changes for Checkatrade games, or risk a fine. So presumably, Bolton will have to field a weakened side. I.e. the kids who have regulars so far?

    Idle, they've relaxed the rules considerably this season and are not as stringent

    They will only be eligible to play tomorrow if they were signed before 12 which I'm not sure any did so I think they'll play the kids again.

    Think you need to think about what you wrote mate.

    You don't get many things wrong, so you will figure.

    Nailed on Bolton win. It’s is an opportunity to get back on track, but if we approach it like the PNE game, god help us. Hope they can prove my gut feeling is misplaced.

    Mccartan and ismail should feature. Bowyer has been telling us for the past week they're both back in full training so it's about time they got some match fitness.

    They've not scored in about 10 games.

    We all know how this one ends! :joy::joy:

    Do you have a link for this? Can't find this anywhere.

    I hope (and don't doubt) that you're right, we could really do with a confidence boosting win.

    It’ll be second string against second string, we’ll probably lose as their second string has actually been playing this season due to their late business.

    I’ll go 3-1, meltdown on here by 9.45
