Port Said Red Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 I realise its only the EFL Trophy, but regardless of the competition, I can’t imagine being 6-0 down against Accrington Stanley will go down well, with the Management or fans. Make that 7-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Army 75 Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 That is shocking. But they shouldn’t even be in that competition. It’s been totally ruined by U21 entries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower league clubs still see it as a chance of winning something, but all of these u23 teams may as well just not bother. They've tried to make it more relevant and have failed miserably.

Med/MadHatter Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 Good, I hope all the bigger teams' youngsters get hammered, they shouldn't be allowed in that competition anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGav Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 I hate that the unders were added to the Trophy. It’s completely undermined and ruined a tidy competition. I’d honestly preferred them to have scrapped it. Hopefully they do soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loco Rojo Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 The Trophy 'value' was rubbish before the Unders were added and it was getting worse. Something had to change. At least now there are some interesting scores. Must be more entertaining to watch than before (if you're not on the receiving end) and definately more entertaining than watching England games!

Lrrr Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 Piss take Leeds were allowed in the competition, they've only just gone up to Cat 1 (along with Palace and Burnley, where was their invite?), our 23's were playing theirs last season.

Mad Cyril Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 Well the future of these premier league teams looks a bit ropey. I watched our u23s last night at Taunton and they had no bother winning against adults. I am going to stick a tenner on us winning the FA Cup in 2027.

Must be more entertaining to watch than before (if you're not on the receiving end) and definately more entertaining than watching England games! I have to massively disagree with that. The early rounds maybe, but when we were a League 1 (or Division 2 at the time) side, going to the old Wembley v Stoke, then the Millennium Stadium v Carlisle and then the New Wembley v Walsall are three huge memories I have of watching the City when I was younger (even though the most recent one wasn't that long ago. It gives lower league fans an opportunity to go and watch their clubs at these sorts of stadiums which they might not ever get the chance to do.

Make that 7-0 I believe due to eight of our players being away on international duty with so little time to prepare for the forthcoming season Bielsa requested all our experienced U21's reported for training therefore Leeds fielding a team of 15yo/16yo's in the Accrington game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatalist Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 Just underlines the pointlessness of having these U-21s in the competition. Can't have done these kids much good either. Mind, Man U didn't seem to have a problem at Salford tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
