League 2 side at home please, this is the least important comped for us this season and at the stage we are at in preparation For the season a game on our pitch where all of our fringe players can get 90 competitive minutes under their belt would be ideal.

With fixture congestion across all 4 divisions this season and no crowds, I don’t expect anyone to play full strength teams.

Le'ts be honest, it is fourth priority this year, I don't think they'll be too bothered if we go out.

Yeah after all we’re one of the big boys now so allowed to field a weakened team.

The whole competition looks flat. Bradford/ Lincoln, Luton and Leyton Orient/ Plymouth could've had a dream tie with a full house in normal circumstances- now they'll play a big side in front of nobody. I'd imagine our match will be two reserve teams in an empty stadium.

 

I wouldn't want it to go permanently but with the schedule as it is, a lot of the appeal of the League Cup is lost by the restrictions. A year off may have been better.
