Colchester will play our Poorman Road fiends plus Gillingham plus a premier league or championship academy side when the draw is finalised on Friday.
An interesting opportunity to test our credentials against so called higher league opposition.

Invited PL U23 to be drawn into the groups on Friday, obviously too complicated to do the full draw in one go for Perry , it so exciting . Drawing Nodge into the group would make it a retro Willhire Van Trophy competition ( do you get a star above your club badge for that ) ? |  |

Only if there is sufficient room for the stars!

Was hoping we’d draw Ipswich. Will be good to have some competitive action against them amidst the disappointment of not getting promoted. Do we play each team home and away in the group? |  | | |

GOSBTS - no just the one game. We normally play at home to the Premier or Championship side but the others can be either home or away.
Could this be our year for a Cup Run with Swindon in the League Cup 1st round.
The FA Cup is long overdue an appearance in Rounds three and four at the very least for Colchester United.
WE can dream

Don't get too excited - Col U made seven changes for the game versus Southampton U21 last September, in a 2-0 defeat.
I am sure we will do the same this season (as will Ipswich) and I cannot blame the managers to be honest, as league and the 2 other cups are more important.
We might have our highest Checkatrade attendance though. I reckon 1,001 people there! 526 people there versus Southampton |  |
