It's not something I get excited about but we have drawn Ipswich and Gillingham plus a prem u23 team to be drawn tomorrow.
Gillingham does mean we get Evans and Raynor back again plus possibly an ex player. Ipswich could be the return of Gwion.
I hope we get someone new from the prem team but I should think Yems might fancy Fulham as he used to work there. The draw is at 13.30 live on Talksport.
With more midweek matches in a squeezed season we could end up putting out an 'u23' side with lots of changes from the 'first' team line up. TBH i would happily watch these games at home if streamed live; and TBH until the later stages they dont overly interest me.
All very well if you have a large squad of players, to share what could become a long season if we get a bad winter leading to postponed and re-arranged fixtures.
All in all, a rather pointless and meaningless "Competition" we could do without.

Well in recent seasons we’ve always had plenty of players without game time
Always handy for giving the Senior Cup boys and fringe squad another run out.
It's all or nothing in this one - get to the regional finals or final and there is money to be made. Otherwise it's a waste of time and costs more to stage the match than you get in receipts.
