Random idea and haven't fully thought this through. What if the FA and EFL scrapped the EFL trophy. But then scrapped Prem teams from the League Cup. Essentially blend the EFL Trophy and League Cup and then rebadge it as the "EFL Cup", only open to the 72 EFL teams. None of the Prem teams care about the LC anyway.

Interesting idea, and funnily enough some successful managers did/do take it seriously. Pep and Jose enjoyed winning it. Maybe allow Prem teams to apply to enter , but not make it compulsory , then you know if they're in it they want to be in it.

I certainly hope City are never in it again, but Pompey vs Sunderland is exactly what the sponsors would have wanted and it will be a big crowd at Wembley, completely undermining any boycotts made by other clubs during earlier rounds.

Boycotting the competition (despite boycotting every home league fixture anyway) was what the majority of the Sags were banging on about during the earlier rounds, then all of a sudden with Wembley within touching distance out of the window it went, ‘we never get to Wembley again’ and ‘the club need the money’ excuses come rolling out, didn’t matter anyway as Sunderland sorted that out.

I can just imagine it... An argument broke out about the quantity (lacking) of horse meat in the burgers. The perpetrator came back, dressed as skeletor, armed with a tent pole and attacked the vendor - who tried to defend himself with a barrel of Fanja Orange. Note the blood splatters on the weathered, off-white, plastic chairs. 

First on the scene was Robbored who took the victim to hospital in his minibus. The victim was announced dead on arrival. Rumours circulate a sheed done it, but BCFC deny any affiliation with the chair of the Ian Holloway fan club.

Interesting idea - although there already is an ‘EFL Cup’ - as long as no U21 teams were involved it could work - I’m not sure I agree that ‘none of the prem teams care about the league cup’ though, but interesting thoughts EA...

The thing I don't get about the Checkatrade is why none of the Premier under 23's seem to make the latter stages of the competition, are they told to leave the competition at a certain stage by losing ? Surely one of the under 23's would have made the semi finals by now or is it just pure luck or bad luck that they haven't ? Would the sponsors want Swansea u23,s v Bournemouth u23,s in the final at Wembley.

Good point.

I don't believe that any Div 3 club could beat a full strength Chelsea u23s, for example, so I think the big clubs are deliberately fielding weakened sides in the later stages so that you don't get the nightmare outcome you suggest.

It does look like it's paving the way for premiership reserve teams getting into the lower leagues.

Currently I think there's a Level 10 top limit. In the South West Peninsula League, level 10, there is a Plymouth Argyle u23 team who are always in the top two which is unsurprising given their professional back up and full time players being up against part timers getting changed in a hut.

The Freight Rover ingress of such teams looks to be part of an attempt to start creeping that level 10 upwards into the conference and ultimately the league.

I most clubs have their better under 23’s players out on loan, just as we do. 

I don’t think the standard of remaining youngsters is that high, and for those that are very young, but with potential, they are just getting them ready to go out on loan in the coming seasons. 

“Reserve” teams are nothing like they used to be in the past, with most clubs now preferring that their players go out on loan, (usually for big fees) rather than just knock around the club playing reserve games.

No offence to Sunderland but their performance was nowhere near Championship standard and the Mackems probably know that. Far too good for the scum certainly but, with all possible respect to them, not a 'Championship performance' as described by the methane snorters. FFS, like the cave dwellers would know what a Championship performance looked like! 

IF Sunderland came back up, I've no doubt they would strengthen and compete at Championship level but they wouldn't be naive enough to call their performance a 'Championship' one. 

Of course they would, their most important game of the week is us.

On a related note (it may be an urban myth) but it’s my understanding that in the BBC Radio commentary of the Tinnion>Liverpool game Alan Green commented on the lines of...

”Bristol Rovers of course played here in the FA Cup a couple of seasons ago. What was it they were singing...Come On Eileen?”

Even their anthem is forgettable dirge.

I used to enjoy those games, personally, but there is simply no need to risk bringing them back in. 

If Rovers really want to play is again, then they need to pull their finger out. If they can’t get themselves up & out of league one, then they at least need to start getting through to the same round of the FA Cup as we enter the competition.

I don't care that Rovers aren't there, but I think Pompey v Sunderland is the worst thing for football. Many City fans have had a great time watching this competition and I suspect/hope that most of them remember that rather than think '**** it, not our problem anymore'

I do have some sympathy with you Miah; I actually have a slightly different viewpoint. Going all the way to the semi final should have brought increased interest the longer your club went in the competition. Unfortunately the Checkatrade trophy has been ruined by the influx of U23 sides. The sponsors have lost their way in what the competition is all about which is a cup competition for lower league sides who have the opportunity to win a trophy played at Wembley stadium.

Try asking the thousands of Walsall fans the last time we were there what it meant to them going to Wembley for the first time in their proud history.

Therefore your fans have been deprived of that added excitement and your club of the revenue that was felt when you played Doncaster [I think] in a previous final.

I think the powers that run the competition have been very patronising to the lower league clubs, and by "devaluing" the competition they have also cost those clubs any welcome additional revenue they would have enjoyed using the old format.

I hope it changes for next season but sadly, I have my doubts.

[Boring Sag]

For me, as a Rovers fan, I have to admit that your club and fanbase is much bigger than Rovers. But to claim Rovers are going absolutely nowhere is ridiculous. If you take the league table since Coughlan took over we're in a playoff spot. Clarke-Harris has 5 goals in 6 games. Holmes-Dennis looks to be a player that we could sell in the future for a massive profit. The fact is our problems this season came from Clarke's favourites and a lack of a strikeforce and finishing ability. In terms of expected goals we're much better than the teams around us and are on the same level as a team like Fleetwood in that respect. With a few additions, preferably a RB, a winger or two and a striker to replace Jakubiak (assuming we don't sign Bonham), we could easily be top half of league 1. I just think your fans are laughably optimistic about the lack of quality at Rovers just because we lost to a team which is too big for the Championship, let alone League 1 a couple of times. Plus City are on awful form as Johnson always does in the second half of the season. I'd be shocked if you got a playoff place, and if Johnson leaves then what then? Obviously i'm not denying that in terms of owners and funds and stadiums we're miles behind, but you don't need high attendances to be a successful team. Brentford only get 9k on average.

Think you need to look up the definition of going nowhere, thats the best you can hope for this season.

Rovers could only dream of Brentford's infrastructure. If you ever fluked it to the Champ as L1 is such a poor league, it'd kill your club for years. See Yeovil.

For me, as a Rovers fan, I have to admit that your club and fanbase is much bigger than Rovers. But to claim Rovers are going absolutely nowhere is ridiculous. If you take the league table since Coughlan took over we're in a playoff spot. Clarke-Harris has 5 goals in 6 games. Holmes-Dennis looks to be a player that we could sell in the future for a massive profit. The fact is our problems this season came from Clarke's favourites and a lack of a strikeforce and finishing ability. In terms of expected goals we're much better than the teams around us and are on the same level as a team like Fleetwood in that respect. With a few additions, preferably a RB, a winger or two and a striker to replace Jakubiak (assuming we don't sign Bonham), we could easily be top half of league 1. I just think your fans are laughably optimistic about the lack of quality at Rovers just because we lost to a team which is too big for the Championship, let alone League 1 a couple of times. Plus City are on awful form as Johnson always does in the second half of the season. I'd be shocked if you got a playoff place, and if Johnson leaves then what then? Obviously i'm not denying that in terms of owners and funds and stadiums we're miles behind, but you don't need high attendances to be a successful team. Brentford only get 9k on average. 

May of well just wrote about your players in Chinese as I’ve never even heard of them. Without a new stadium I’m sorry but you really aren’t going anywhere, no investments, no decent income, shit attendances = shit club, shit fans, going nowhere.

Where to start ??

"If you take the league table since Coughlan took over we're in a playoff spot."  You do get that it's over more than half a dozen games , right?
"Holmes Denis" (who?) .... 7 games and you're thinking he's another £10m player ??  Good luck.
"we could easily be top half of league 1" ......  You have to stay in L1 first , not a certainty 
" just think your fans are laughably optimistic about the lack of quality at Rovers.... you are just above the relegation zone in an average L1, that screams lack of quality ffs.
"a team which is too big for the Championship" Guessing you mean Sunderland, the team was shit for years , support means nothing to where you finish. Currently they are an OK L1 side, no more.
"Plus City are on awful form". Yep , we've lost to the best two teams in the division , one pushing for the play off's and the side that just drew at Chelsea. Not a great run agreed.
 "I'd be shocked if you got a playoff place" I , like many are doubtful we will make it, but we have a chance and I'll be fairly happy if that's true on the last day of the season.
"Brentford only get 9k on average."  They might do, but have a new ground being built , 20 thousand all seater. The owner has apparently invested around £100m , good comparison.

Fair play coming on here defending your side, wonder if we'll see you next week if we win and you lose ?

That's what happens on the run in to the seasons end. The teams in deep shyte start pulling a few results out of the bag. That's why you're still in the shyte, because others around you are also playing like play off teams now.

Using your theory, if we had a few additions, like a left back, a striker or two and a midfield dynamo, we'd be in the top two. We haven't and we aren't.  Just as you haven't and you aren't.

As for Brentford, their ground's too small for them, they've always been bigger than your lot and are investing properly in their future. The only money spent at the rugby ground is from STs and sponsors, spend a bit on the basics but cut down on the playing staff and management. Your owners haven't got any that they can spare and they're soon to be on an asset stripping agenda. Forced into administration and forced to put the rugby ground up for sale. They've already signed up the chairmen and staff with the experience for that inevitable outcome.

Wow . This sums up you lot perfectly . You haven’t got a pot to piss in so how are you likely to bring these mythical players in ? 

You cant even pay one of your coaches
