Big E Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 17 minutes ago, Casino said: I think we have a very strong squad who all know their jobs But there are one or two who any club in div 3 would miss And theyre 'spine' players so there is a risk but many of our injuries seem to be traing ground ones I dont think its the playing games as much as having less time to work on stuff Evatt knows what hes doing, hes protected charles all season even when the experts have known better If he thinks its getting too much, he will do what needs doing Would agree with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering they are an insignificant club down the road. anyway what will be will be. I loved seeing Bolton at Wembley and would do again.

Jol_BWFC Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 21 minutes ago, Big E said: Do we have the best squad in the league or do we just have a first 11 who can only cope with one competition? We have a strong squad, albeit currently we’re missing Dan and Carlos MG who you’d expect to be starters in the EFL Trophy. Plus, with Gethin away it means Forrester is now in the starting 11, rather than being a good person to bring on for the EFL trophy. Add the long term injury to George J and I’d say our current position in 2 cups and the league shows the strength we have. This post will look silly if we lose the next 3 games, mind… 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aldo Raine was correct on first post. It’s changed from last year: Quarter Finals. The eight winners from the Round of 16 will contest the quarter-finals. The Quarter Final pairings are determined by means of an unseeded draw but on a regionalised basis (North and South). The League shall determine the placing of Clubs in each of the two regions prior to the draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter desperado Posted January 10 Site Supporter Share Posted January 10 (edited) And that side would be well covered on the eligibility criteria: Full Available Strength’ means the EFL Club must include at least four Qualifying Players in the ten outfield Players named in the starting eleven on the Team Sheet. Qualifying Player means any Player who: had started the immediately preceding First Team Fixture (as defined below); subsequently starts the immediately following First Team Fixture; is in the list of ten Players at the Club with the highest number of starting appearances in First Team Fixtures in the same Season; has made forty or more starting appearances in First Team Fixtures or international equivalents (and not limited to the same Club or Season); Edited January 10 by desperado Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes absolute sense (and would do for the semi, but I don’t think that’s the case as they don’t necessarily want a guaranteed north v south or they’d just go back to the separate regional finals) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolli Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I suspect the PJT bosses/authorities will want to see a Bolton v Blackpool final, which looks the most attractive on paper, and the obvious history. Im pretty sure they wont want any off the Southern quartet, Peterbro, Wycombe, Wimbledon or Brighton under 21s, which none are remotely well supported. It could well happen.
