EFL Trophy

[SVH]

More games Tuesday 9th November. A thread to discuss the Pizza/Pointless cup.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Scunny away again with 4 less players than we had in the FA Cup woopi do

 

[Bartonyellow]

The lack of replies to this thread shows the apathy people have towards this competition l. Win it of course and it’s the best thing ever, but the early stages really do drag on. Remember when it was knock out. Much much better. Fuck these under 21 teams off and get it back to how it was. And get auto windscreens back to sponsor it…

 

[DearneValleyRover]

We have put mainly kids out and they are apparently playing better than their first team counter parts against the same team as Saturday, seems like we we’ve stumbled on our League problem

For you it’s a welcome distraction. Get some confidence by winning 2 games in a week. It’s a no brainier.

Totally especially if all our missing players are available for the Lincoln game

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Well nearly threw another lead away, 3-0 to 3-2 we buckle under pressure whoever is picked

 

[Crewelad87]

3 wins out of 3 in the pizza trophy and not conceded a goal. Cant make it up. 4 teenagers all made there debuts tonight also, beating wolves kids + John Ruddy 3-0.

I thought we'd finally seen sense and binned off this pointless cup after losing our first two games. Then we go and score an injury time goal for a 3-0 win that nudges us into second place ahead of Wimbledon on goals scored. Idiots.

Any idea what the 'crowd' was?

 

[SVH]

1-0 loss to Stevenage. We basically played the kids with a few first team players getting some minutes. Already qualified top of our group so guaranteed a home draw.

 

[Davidimp]

The draw for the next round is tomorrow.

 

[Luke Imp]

I think the Sunderland/Bradford draw means we'll be away.

 

[Crewelad87]

Crewe vs Doncaster in the next round and the return of the El Crapico, I can't wait.........

Oh I don't know...we"re flying in this competition.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

El Crapico, rolls off the tongue

 

[Luke Imp]

A nice, short midweek trip to Carlisle for us!

There really cant be many making the trip. Looking at potential opponents we could have got, Carlisle are the best/ worst opponent depending on how you view the comp!

Down as a 7pm KO as well so won't be many outside the local(ish) NW area that attend I'm guessing.

 

[masi51]

Evatt put his strongest team available.......why??

 

[stevowanderer]

We haven’t got a game for another 7 days. And Santos and kachunga rested. Only one starting who I wanted resting is Kieran Lee. Doyle needs some confidence and some goals. Good chance against a second string fleetwood

 

[YEO YEO YEO]

WE HAVE SCORED!!

 

[SVH]

Walsall have had two one on ones and a penalty and somehow we are winning 1-0.

 

[Tom_CUFC]

The only interest I have in this godforsaken tournament is us getting knocked out, I'm hoping the fact we've just brought on a sub that wasn't on the teamsheet does that job for us.

718 with 104 idiots from Walsall. An improvement on our bizarrely high attendances from the group stage.

 

[SMH]

It appears that we’re still in this bloody thing!

 

[Luke Imp]

Lost on penalties to Carlisle. We finally scored a goal, so we solved that. But we don't keep clean sheets, and we didn't.

 

[Crewelad87]

The game every body is talking about tonight. The hottest ticket in town. I'm sure there will be a massive crowd, ifollow viewers through the roof. The return of El Crapico (Crewe vs Doncaster)

The game a few weeks ago was probably the lowest quality game of football I've ever seen, so here's hoping this game lives up to the billing of the last one.

 

[DippyDon]

It honestly sounds like Orient v MK was an absolute snorefest up until the 85th minute, where it suddenly kicked into life.

Personally I'll start paying proper attention to it once Chelsea/Arsenal's children are out, until then I barely even follow the games on twitter let alone try and watch them.

We will definitely play our part to perfection

 

[Crewelad87]

Apologies to Doncaster for Crewe not turning up for El Crapico. We disgraced this prestigious game this evening. Heads should roll.
