16 Cat A academy sides from the Premier League to play in the FLT next season.
A devalued competition just got devalued a bit more. |  | | |  |

Bradford had to pick their first team keeper to say witin the rules. They subbed him after two minutes. Genius. | | | |

It doesn't seem they are taking this competition seriously. |  |

"...I'm not holding my breath though."
To be fair, I could have almost done so by the time it took for Saints to go 1-0 up. |
Southampton scored after 8 minutes. That would have been an impressive fear of breath holding! Free diving anyone? [Post edited 4 Oct 2016 21:05]

Back in the day, with preparation, 2-3 minutes was possible - too many fags since then unfortunately. Me and the kids play a game on road trips, holding your breath through long tunnels - I can still do Dartford tunnel if the traffic is flowing. | |

I'm quite sure I couldn't get anywhere near two minutes, probably not even one. Not that I shall be trying. | |

Attendance 791. Doubt the club made much of a profit from tonight. | |

Does this defeat justify the current set up of the competition ?
Can we judge a players performance for inclusion for forth coming league fixtures ?
Now we cannot progress, how do we approach the final fixture ? |  |

I think we should field an ineligible side for the Charlton clash.
Worst could happen is we'll be expelled from the competition !!
Meaningless game anyway! |  | | |

If we field an ineligible side, in other words too many changes from the previous Saturday's team, we will get fined. I don't how much, but we will find soon, because Luton made 11 changes from the team that played last Saturday.
As for the Charlton game , I think whatever team we put out we should just take easy, and do anything to avoid any more injuries. |  |

I think the fine for putting out an "under strength" side is £5,000. In the particular example of Luton, this is farcical. For their first game a couple of weeks ago they made 11 changes and face a fine. On Tuesday they made 11 changes and face a fine.
They won both games! How can you fine somebody for fielding a side that was good enough to beat whoever they were playing? "Yes, we know you won 2-0 but we think you should have won 4-0 so that'll be five grand please".
For our game against Charlton, don't you forfeit the game 3-0 if you don't turn up? Seems reasonable. | | | |

A farce of a competition and don't know where it will go. With that sort of attendance we must have lost money unless the FA are putting sponsorship money back to the clubs.
I thought you had to play a mininum of 5 first teamers. Wasn't aware that related back to the previous Sat.
Seems to me the people getting most benefit are the Cat 1 clubs. |  | | |

Despite the low crowd, I actually enjoyed the game and don't begrudge paying my tenner to watch an entertaining match. Johnstone scored a legitimate goal (goalkeeper untouched simply dropped it) so it should have been 2-2 (and a loss on penalties  ) . All credit to our under 23's that (almost) matched Saints probably overpaid; over ego'd superstars.
The alternative was a trip to Braintree, £15 admission to watch carthorse Elokobi and yet another defeat for the Iron. Crowd 533. I rest my case M'Lud. |  | | |

Has a sweetener for the new format, thought winners received 10k per game .
All gate receipts to be shared, but with nationwide low attendances perhaps only fines will top up the pot .
Agree Noah , a open entertaining game which was helped by U's conceding early goal ( will they ever learn ). When level never tested the vistors keeper enough ( one decent save ) to justify a pen shootout .
Worthy winner though, took his chance well, gave Bromsgrove no chance . | |

Braintree are doing a lot for a little.
Oh bless, let em not be skunked 5-0 as some are predicting in the Happy Cup.
If someday our U's play, I may still applaud when the Trees score -- and then be escorted out :D ...
*big sigh* ... It's still an important trophy. | | | |
