Low down on the priority list. But it could be a good chance for squad players to get some game time. Wouldn’t have thought many key players would be risked

Alexander, Hickman, Senior, Taft, Greenidge, Mascol, Comley, White, Darcy, Isgrove, Miller - Arthur

Don't you have to play a ridiculously high percentage of players from your last league game, to prevent clubs just fucking it off and playing their kids?

I think it may be minimum of five who played in previous match. It would go some way to explaining why White was brought on if this includes substitutes.

This did occur to me too. A brave decision to bring him on when he did though, maybe leave it until the last 30 seconds!

That said, we did well at the end.

Plenty of changes for this game

  • Minimum of four qualifying outfield players in their starting XI. A qualifying outfield player will be one who meets 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 have made the most starting appearances in league and domestic cup competitions that season
    • Any player with 40 or more first-team appearances in their career
    • Any player on loan from a Premier League club or any EFL Category One Academy club.

Don't we have some sort of suspended points deduction hanging over us? It might just apply to financial irregularities though but I'm not certain. I wouldn't want it to be triggered due to not complying with the stupid rules of this (now) pointless competition.

Presumably any non-financial punishments would only apply to the competition involved so wouldn’t be transferable to a league deduction.

I'm not really sure if there is a suspended penalty or what could trigger it if there is. It shouldn't become an issue as looking at how broad the criteria for selecting players is we should be able to rest a good number of our better ones.
