The Not Worth Sponsoring Trophy Thread 2020/21

[The Terminator]

Charlton away in what is a huge dead rubber, we're through and they're out. Lee Bowyer has already said he will play youngsters and any first teamers needing minutes.

Unless we get turned over by 3+ goals we win the group, a draw will see us win the group anyway which will make the resulting penalties completely pointless.

We will be making alot of changes ourselves.

 

[Conker]

Dead rubber against Scunthorpe too, dunno if it’s home or away cba to check.

Clough first game in charge, I’ve seen the squad which will be mixed with kids and first team, could do with winning really purely because we won our first game on Saturday and it will do the players good.

 

[saddler78]

Oxford at home hope we rest a few tonight struggling a bit now with injuries etc.

 

[FGR Stroud]

Am I right in thinking earlier streamed games were less expensive to watch than normal league games.
I've just paid £10 [same as a league match] for the game tonight.

FGR are playing Swindon at home and have half a chance of progressing to knockout stages. Didn't look like it after we lost away at Exeter in first match of this round.
But I will say that manager Mark Cooper seems more interested on Saturday's league match against Mansfield than tonight, so I won't hold my breath for a win.

9 changes as only Smith and Burgess remain but a few of the injuries clearing up means it’s still strong, Oyeleke, Montano and McKirdy return, Cullen starts for the first time in weeks.

One of our youth players Bailey is on the bench for his first involvement in the squad. No idea who he is or what position but good for the lad.

 

[BlackHaddock]

Home to Leicester City kids this evening. Our team appears to be a mix of youth and unused 1st team squad players. No idea what Walkers Crisps will bring.

Our little table isn't formed yet (our game against Hull being postponed).

Would like a win, but not really interested in a comp I've boycotted since 'the change'.

 

[Boletus Edulis]

Dead rubber for us against Newport. Apart from our goalie it is pretty much all change from Saturday’s game. Those who have been on the bench, isolating from COVID or they don’t shave yet are getting a game or are the bench. Good idea.

 

[valefan16]

Strange game 2-2 but we should be about 8-2 up! We’ve missed some absolute sitters too!

They play the ball around well the Liverpool kids but defensively are awful and we’ve opened them up multiple times but either hit the bar, keepers saved or failed to hit the target. Sums up our problems a bit but enjoyable watch all the same.

Miller for them looks decent.

And rightly so, joke competition.

 

[chipmunx]

1-0 down at HT to Accrington and we've missed a penalty

9 changes from the last match with Quigley, Zouma and Ntlhe back from injury, Kay, Lillis and Gribben are also back after Covid absences.

 

[Bottega Don]

Don't exactly care about the result as we're already out but it's yet another defeat, 9 in a row now.

We are truly doomed

 

[dedwardp]

5-0 up against Southend, shame it doesn't mean anything. Jevani Brown with his second hat-trick in the space of a week.

Barring teams going to the wall i am afraid its the end for both you and Southend next may

 

[valefan16]

4-2 win the end, pleasing to create so many good chances, still not taking enough though.

Good minutes into some of the lads en route back from covid and injury, McKirdy was outstanding but frustratingly spent the last 20 limping around as we’d used all subs and looks to have done his hammy.

 

[dedwardp]

Put more goals past Southend tonight than they've managed in their league season so far.

 

[BlackHaddock]

Lost 3-1 to Leicester Youth and a couple of old guys. All over them 1st half (1-0 to us), subs changed the game, for both teams!

Just proves our fringe players and youngsters are no better than the usual suspects, not good.

Pretty sure its always been £10 this season. Too much IMO so I haven't watched either of our wins.
And we are through now thanks to your defeat, sadly

 

[Chris FGR]

Lost 1-0 to Swindon. Despite losing twice, we're still in with a chance somehow if Exeter beat West Brom next week.

Hopefully Exeter play their kids.

 

[The Terminator]

Hobbled through to a 3-1 loss against Charltons youngsters and Marcus Maddison who put in a great free kick for one goal and scored a well taken third. We also chose to play with no recognised striker which didn't help our cause I thought.

Louis Dennis scored for us, we created a few chances and dominated possession for large spells of the game, but there was minimal effort put into it by ourselves I thought, very little urgency in our overall performance which didn't suprise me in the slightlest. Only two players impressed me at all and a certain few based on that shouldn't be put back regularly in the starting XI anytime soon.

We topped the group, at least scored and get a home tie in the next round, this ain't gonna get spoken about again. Considering League One sides are vastly superior to us we will be out of this cup within the next two rounds.

Nope, ours kicked off at 7pm and was £10, think Non UK viewers get it for £7.

 

[SVH]

Do you get the £10k for a win on pens? Is it shared for a draw?

Drew 1-1 with Peterborough. Should have won on the night but their keeper had a blinder.

 

[F!RTHY]

Losing 2-1 to Oldham - been a decent effort by our youngsters, to be honest.

Made 10 changes; only Paudie O’Connor being the familiar face.

We play Oldham 3 times over the next 32 days, so I’m sure we’ll both have an opportunity to see each others stronger sides.

 

[Huntsman94]

At least Southend scored! Clever thinking though. Getting tonked in the cups to focus on the league...

*ahem*

 

[Shrimpurh]

Put more goals past Southend tonight than they've managed in their league season so far.

Yep we are shit, hadn’t you realised?

 

[Bottega Don]

I'm not sure I can see us or Southend winning another game for the rest of the season

 

[Camborne Gills]

Looks like we have scraped through despite losing on pens to Arsenal 21s.

Thanks a bunch Crawley!

Hey! We were stupid enough to do our part. To go through we had to win 2-0 and you had to lose. We can't help it if you're silly enough to score an equaliser.

I paid to watch this because I wanted to see some of out fringe players.

Our new left back Nico ExtremelylongGreekname looked pretty good. Kaheel in midfield is developing well and a couple of the others did ok to. Brian Galach who has been welded to our subs bench this season played the full game and scored 2 goals. One of which was a back post header against a six foot centre half. Galach is about 5'5 if he is that!

The game got a bit heated towards the end. Seems a bit silly to me.

We wisely got knocked out of this cup so we can concentrate on continuing our FA Cup run.

Hopefully Exeter play their kids.

We did in the previous games and still won

It's only £8k this season.

3 wins out of 3 for us. I can't stand this comp for the same reason as everyone else, but that's £24k banked which will definitely help given the lack of fans this season.
