Both of those behind closed doors would be a waste ? I want somebody nondescript, and beatable. Crawley. They'd do.We are ball number 24. I fancy a home draw against Leyton Orient or the SCUM
.... talk, its said , is cheapThought there was talk of the League Cup being cancelled this year?
Talking of cheap, tomorrow also sees the EFL Trophy draw. Which Premier League development team will join us Bristol Rovers and Walsall in the group? I can barely contain myself.
Who was in the final? Was it officially cancelled?They haven’t even finished the one from 2019-20.
Maybe the Champions League final will be the appetiser before it.
A sad situation that the draw for the teams that the competition was designed for is done in advance of the exciting 'live' element of adding a reserve team...Talking of cheap, tomorrow also sees the EFL Trophy draw.

I'm not sure I get all the anger about the Carabao Cup! In the last few years its brought us two Wembley appearances, a decent chunk of money and an opportunity to play the youngsters. Last year we had our youngest ever player and youngest ever captain in this competition, the year before our youngest goalscorer.
In another thread there is people saying that Jack Stevens and others should be starting these games, and it will be an opportunity early on to give game time for some of the fridge players. Also, with season ticket holders being the only ones likely to get into league games until at least Christmas, it's an opportunity for others to maybe get to games (regardless of the opposition).
So I'm certainly not getting excited about this competition, the first draw, or the PL b team joining us, but I'm not angry about it all either!
