Whilst the EFL persist with Under 23 teams in this competition I shall not go, be that at Wembley or anywhere else.
It wasn't a high profile competition before the Under 23 teams were involved but massive damage has been done since to effectively kill it off. They have been lucky that bigger teams have made the final in recent years, when an U23 side makes the final that will kill it for good.
The Premier league has hoarded all the young players and they throw us a pittance and expect us to give them game time.

Fantastic gesture by Bowyer to name Reeves as captain, his man management is shining through.
Good luck Jake.Keefly Bantam, Inspector, Botswana Bantam and 5 others like this. -

Not even slightly arsed about the result, or the crap performances from players we know to be crap.
I'd written off seeing Reeves in a City shirt again. And whilst it's only an hour in a meaningless game, he looked sharp and in good touch. Getting him back into the side would genuinely be like a new, quality signing in an area where we lack depth of quality. It would leave us having to do no more in January than retain what we have, ship a couple of fringe lads out and bring Doyle back.Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand...

At our level, I think the biggest constraint has been the quality in midfield. Only Cooke has real technical ability. A midfield 3 of Reeves at the base, with Cooke and Devitt in front would allow us to play a completely different style of football, based on possession.
Ultimately, I just want out of this division. For now, I don't care about style if its working.Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...Damo, Inspector, Idlebantam and 3 others like this. -

Great result for us. Out of that despicable excuse for a competition and less chance of injuries. Oh and the confirmation of how dire Patrick and Anderson are

Quite pleased to see us out, don't care whatsoever, it will affect our momentum about as much as a behind-closed-doors-friendly.
Key: League.
Relatively Important: FA Cup.
So far, nothing to worry about on either front.Idlebantam, FrenchBantam, Morley Bantam and 2 others like this. -

Bowyers subs showed what he really thinks of the competition, ignore what his media persona says. Nothing more than getting some minutes into players.
