All of the Prem u21 sides lose on first day, some of them thrashed.

Why are they bothering?

Because it’s a (sort of) competitive game that their parent club doesn’t give a shit about (as in, there’s no real pressure or downside if they lose), other than the chance to see their youngsters in action v senior pros?

Otherwise EPL kids will rarely if ever get a shot at first team football unless they go on loan.

Most of the league clubs put out the stiffs too these days, now they’ve heavily relaxed the number of established first teamers that have to start the game.

Most Prem u21 are very weak at this time of year due to loaning several of their better players to league1/two teams
Every year i see fans moaning on here about boycotting this cup,yet it their only chance of winning a trophy.
If league one and two clubs want to hurt the premier league teams they should ALL agree to stop taking players on loan.
