EFL Trophy Quarter Final

Please

 

Guaranteed Bolton next

 

Anyone but Bolton, they seem to be flying at the minute.

 

Assuming Wigan beat Doncaster, it's going to be very tough when we're guaranteed to be up against top-half League One opposition

Bolton - 2nd
Blackpool - 8th
Wigan - 10th (in terms of points, not including their points deduction)

We really are an anomaly getting this far, being a bottom half League Two side

 

Derby are 4th, we weakened our team, and beat them pretty easily.

Let's not underestimate how poor high level opposition have been so far in this tournament.

Barnsley were bloody awful and they're 6th.

It's all going to hinge on how seriously these clubs and their players take the particular game on the particular day.

It's a nonsense cup, and the results are equally nonsensical.

 

I don't think we weakened our team to be honest. Pointon, Chapman, Stubbs and McDonald strengthened it in my view.
Ok, we were missing Walker, Halliday and Cook (for most of the match) but overall we weren't weaker than the team put out v Crawley.

 

For this who are interested like myself
The draw will be held live from 6.30pm on Sky Sports this Friday (January 12), in the lead-up to coverage of the Sky Bet Championship clash between Hull City and Norwich City.
City are ball number Three.

 

Our New Keeper won't be eligible no matter who we get in this competition he's already cup tied having played for Charlton.

 

So who did we draw then??

 

Tomorrow 6.30pm

 

Home tie, please

 

Ah sorry, thought it was today

 

Wait. Is there a southern draw too? How does it work?

 

And then it’s a North vs South final?

 

Sky sports news in a minute.

 

Home to Doncaster or Wigan

 

No complaints there!
