    Well….it is the EFL Football League Trophy. Perhaps the tournament viewed least favourably by most supporters.
    An opportunity perhaps for Elisa, Sutton and Threlkeld to play some part? Others on the fringe of the team like Evans Foulds and Hornsby. Plus younger players like Staunton and Scales.
    With the tail end of the holidays, Covid, an early kick off, I can see the attendance being very low.

    Yep, would be surprised if he played the same team. He could do as a punishment of sorts maybe. Also to keep them match fit. Otherwise i think training will be gruelling for them.

    Would say I'm not bothered about it but potentially losing two in a row isn't great.

    Let's be honest, we've got 3 tough matches in between league games coming up. If we draw or win any then we might get a bit of a confidence lift but all three will take some effort and losses start to add up eventually.

    It’ll be ifollow for me too. Kick off time is a pain in the backside for anyone commuting back from work and its better just to turn the ipad off when the reserves get beat, rather than trekking back to the car and spending a wasted night getting home.

    expecting hornby, Staunton, sikora, foulds, evans, cranky, eisa and lavery all to feature if fit

    Adams said they start training again tomorrow ( Monday) so he’s hardly like to have Sooty or Oscar playing.?

    Good opportunity for those on the fringes to stake a claim. What they don’t want, is to come away from the game reaffirming their place on the bench or in the stands, but showing they are capable and ready to push for a starting place next Saturday. Meaningless game to most fans, but is the first real opportunity for a lot of the players who need game time.

    Agree. Even though I think the competition is laughable, I’m actually planing to watch on ifollow as interested to see those who have had little game time actually get some minutes. For all its laughable structure it’s still a competition with something at stake. Winning breeds a winning mentality. Adams has made it clear he likes to win, even in friendlies. I’d like to think he puts that expectation on the players he selects for tomorrow and in that case, I hope it might be on ok game.

    Of course it could equally backfire, we have a shocker with fringe players having a shocker and all hell will break loose on here demanding Adams be fired and blaming ROD, Songo’o and Evans for the result even if they didn’t play!

    Lincoln City will be up for it having beaten Man United under 21s already in this competition 3 - 2.
    I would like to think whoever turns out for us tomorrow night they will put in a winning performance,tin pot trophy or not it should be a given.

    Wreaths will be laid on the field - on behalf of both #BCAFC and
    @LincolnCity_FC
    - ahead of kick-off tomorrow evening, as we pay tribute to the 56 lives lost in the Valley Parade Fire Disaster.
    Respect

    Having gone out of the League Cup think the Manager may view this differently.

    If we are going to concentrate on a cup, and as you rightly point out we are out of the League Cup, then the FA Cup is the one to focus on. Potentially 180 minutes away from a massive tie.
    Frankly the West Riding Cup, is probably of more interest to most City fans, than the EFL Trophy.
