For a lot of them which they freely admit the Ricoh will go and that was really the only chance they’re likely to get to see them at Wembley before they go. Half the fans I know think they’re going to fold within a decade Coventry City truly is a club dying on its arse. There's such an apathy about them now it's ridiculous.

Didn't you know England future stars such as Jack Rodwell and Callum McManaman were playing last night, as well as Ibrahim Afellay, Charlie Adam and Saido Berahino for Stoke? Clearly a worthwhile competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Culture 1,651 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Leicester and Chelsea qualify for the next round. Leicester played six overage players, when can we expect their fine to be announced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley Culture 1,651 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Gone to pens. Lincoln’s first pen hits the crossbar, looks as if it’s gone over the line and bounced out. Not given. Hazard’s Brother makes it 1-0 to the kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next breed of England stars aren't coming from Swindon, Wimbledon or Chesterfield they're coming from the top flight. Keep this going and if possible, introduce 'B' teams into League Two. They ain’t coming from Reading, Boro or Brighton’s U21 teams either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eco 3,008 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Another trophy to distract real teams from their goals from promotion Plus, with the addition of Academies, this really has become a rather large joke of a tournament. However, Portsmouth are in Group A in the Southern Division, alongside Crawley Town (L2), Gillingham (L1), and Tottenham U21s (ACA) Pompey's schedule is as follows: 4 Sept: vs Gillingham 9 October at Crawley Town 13 November: vs Tottenham U21s Just noticed that all of the academy teams play all of their matches away...Well, at least there is that.

Smiley Culture 1,651 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Don't see why the U23 sides are drawn out for this, they should just be assigned groups. Like West Ham U23's should be playing Charlton and Wimbledon rather than Swansea U23 playing Charlton and Wimbledon. I'm in Liverpool for a few days in October, I was hoping Tranmere would be at home when I'm there. Unfortunately, they're not. Marine and Prescot Cables are at home that week so not all bad.

Administrator Stan 18,309 Posted September 4, 2018 Administrator Share Posted September 4, 2018 Max Power sent off at the weekend. Sunderland want him to play in Checkatrade Trophy as the competition doesn't count towards 3-game ban. FA say 'nah, you can't play mate'. Bit unfair that it doesn't count towards the ban but he's still not allowed to play https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45410311 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs should, rightly, lose their players who got sent-off on Saturday but they’re losing them for an extra game than the penalties for red cards state, which is bizarre and wrong. I hope Sunderland or Southend, two clubs effected by this field their ineligible players just to make more of a mockery of the competition. It won’t happen but I’d rate either of them if they did.
