    Since when is West Brom in the south?

    Since when is Cambridge in the North?

    Dont worry these are some of the people who are investigating why we do shit at the World Cup and Euros.

    Makes you think its not the players fault!!
    Cambridge have got Middlesborough in their group - that's a long trek for one set of fans !

    This has to be the pick of the groups so far

    Could be misleading to some. Shouldn't it say Everton U21s.

    Just once... So Southampton will host one match and will then play two away...

    Whichever marketing bod at Johnstone's Paint who declined renewing their sponsorship has just been given a nice pay rise.

    To be fair there are some good Derbies in there...

    Millwall v Gillingham
    Southend v Leyton Orient
    Norwich v Peterborough
    Swindon v Oxford
    Swansea v Newport
    Bristol Rovers v Yeovil
    Middlesbrough v Scunthorpe
    Sunderland v Hartlepool
    Derby v Port Vale

    etc.

    Probably one of the best U21 sides we could have faced though...

    How many of the Southampton Squad are getting into their First-Team at the moment, for a Premier League side its a damned good ratio

    Millwall
    Luton
    GIllingham

    All in the same group
  • Since when was Middlesbrough v Scunthorpe classed as a 'good derby'?

    Hardly Galatasaray v Fenerbahce is it?!

  • Hoping Cheltenham have to play away against Blackpool. Could easily be a crowd attendance of under 100 there.

    I wonder who will manage to win the lowest attendance competition for this cup.

    Charlton v Crawley I'm going for... If more than one block of the West Stand Lower is open I'd be surprised

    Who's up for another rainy away day in Colchester?
  • Surely our home game will see a record low Valley crowd. Be lucky to get over 1k.

    If history is anything to go by it will be our reserves playing anyway. Anybody getting excited by this thinking our first team will be playing will probably be disapointed

    I'm categorically not going back to Colchester after last seasons FA Cup debacle.

    We cant play our Reserves for three reasons!!

    (1) We dont have any Reserves ... (2) Rules state we have to play half our first team ... (3) WE DONT HAVE ANY RESERVES!!

    Are there still rules in place to make sure you pick your best team ? I vaguely recall when we were last in it that we had to play seven of the players that played in our last league game or something along those lines.
  • Great local draw for AFC Wimbledon in a group with 2 Welsh teams and Plymouth!

    If by some miracle we ever got to the final we will all be flopping our cocks out over it.

  • Suppose there will be another draw to determine the fixtures?
