Play the guys who are just coming back to fitness like Odusina & Hendrie along with giving game time to guys like Foulds, Sutton, Songo'o and Harratt who haven't started that many games so far. Hope for the best as every team goes into this competition with their spares staring, if you get to the knockouts maybe give it a go a little but if not, nothing much lost and the squad players get some proper game time.

Some teams actually lose money putting games on in this tournament when they get little crowds. Needs a revamp, it's the football league trophy with a third of the EFL not taking part and adding B teams involvement, it just makes zero sense anymore and hasn't for years.

 

These games are good for as we read in the T&A giving the likes of Hendrie and Fould's a run out, I wouldn't be to fussed if we don't progress but if we do get through from the group a day out at Wembley would be grand.

 

Him and Young looking the two promising players so far.

 

Are you just watching Sutton or did you just miss the sloppy play of the others. Too many of them seem to be lacking a little focus as far as I can see.

 

1-0 City.

Young

 

What an absolute shambles that was.

 

Poor penalty decision Ref to far away looked eager to give it

 

Give over.

Songo'o showing exactly why he won't be first choice with a panicked clearance effort that hit our own player than a wild hack at the ball totally unaware that a forward was there. It was exactly how we defended last season and how we haven't this season.

 

Entertaining game due to both teams having no real shape, not surprising with the amount of changes to both sides. Acres of space for both sides

 

T&A's view, 'Looked a harsh one as Songo'o's clearance in a melee bounced back to Paterson - who fell over his challenge as the defender tried to hack it clear ...'

In other words, he was a bit clumsy as you said Faithful.

 

The first sentence is irrelevant according to the laws. Even if someone is fouled and the ball is going dead , it’s still a foul. I get what you mean otherwise

 

Oliver clears off the line for them ‍

 

Great ball in from Smallwood. Oliver has to do better

 

Hughes with best 3 touches of the game

 

Our yoof will still be singing‘you’re support is f’shxt

 

Bradford City esk defending for our second, no body looked interested. Good game so far.

 

Harratt good finish did well to dig it out of his feet to get finish off

 

Not sure about that, he'd be in a better position if he was looking to dislodge Platt I'd have thought?

 

Is he better than Crichlow cos he has been my POTS so far-maybe drop Platt instead?
