Suspect you’re not too far wrong on that line-up, but have we got the requisite four qualifying players? Definitely Tovide, Flanagan and Edwards - Goodwin the fourth?
Minimum of four qualifying outfield players in their starting XI. A qualifying outfield player was one who met any of the following requirements: Any player who started the previous or following first-team fixture. Any player who is in the top 10 players at the club who has made the most starting appearances in league and domestic cup competitions this season. Any player with forty or more first-team starting appearances in their career, including International matches. Any player on loan from a Premier League club or any EFL Category One Academy club.

It's like watching during Covid!
That being said, once the commentary finally kicked in, quite an enjoyable game so far. We obviously should be ahead, but credit to the Fulham kids, they're very comfortable when they've got the ball, without really creating much. Read on for Bishop second half.
The right result, and a beautiful finish from Samson to get the ball rolling before Tucker makes it safe. Gutted though, I had Samson to score first in the OMB prediction league, but switched to Goodwin at the last minute seeing the starting line-up. Heyho, I'll cope.
Credit Fulham’s keeper and some brave defensive blocks that kept them in the game. I thought it was a decent U’s performance soured by a shocking penalty and the U’s twice being denied because of tame shots that required a hefty boot and a bit of elevation that would have better challenged the goalie. However, approach play better than Saturday although still a little ponderous at times.

Typical Mullins display, two nil defeat and never got a foot hold in the game, something we were use to. Should have been over by half time but for a man of match display by a country mile by the visitors keeper, who will no doubt have couple of season loans in the next few seasons. Place up for grabs upfront Saturday, most did not claim this spot until Tovide excellently stroked a side footer home from inside the box. Rare clean sheet for Smith. Well the game was better than training , but group games should be free admission given these mismatches .
With international call ups PL clubs are playing U17 players to make up the numbers, shows the integrity of this competition which needs to revert to D1 and D2 sides only.

Home draw in the next round, who do we fancy?
The prediction league only applies to league games doesn't it?
2nd round draw will be Thursday at 2.30pm on Sky Sports News, and we'll be at home to one of the following:
Exeter City (League 1, struggling) Plymouth Argyle (League 1, relegation scrap) Walsall (League 2, champions-elect...again) West Ham U21 (meh) AFC Wimbledon (League 1, play-off contenders) Peterborough United (League 1, relegation scrap) Cambridge United (League 2, mid-table botherers?)
If we want to progress, I'd take Cambridge United, which would probably be our best crowd as well. West Ham U21 might not be a bad option either, though given they are the only U21 side to get through, they might be taking it a bit more seriously than the rest. Knowing our luck though, we'll probably get AFC Wimbledon or Walsall and limp out in the second round.

There's a suggestion that it's those in Draw B which is:
Exeter City Plymouth Argyle Walsall West Ham United U21's
