Match Thread Grimsby v Leicester u21s EFL Trophy

[Jeff]

Grimsby couldn't be bothered to put a keeper on the bench, so they have a central defender in goal now.

We'll still lose this.

Good job its not a proper game otherwise their keeper would be suspended for the weekend.....

Correct. Suspensions in this competition don't count for the league.

Correct. Suspensions in this competition don't count for the league.

And anyone currently serving a ban from first team competitions can play in this competition.

 

[M17TT C]

Wow, it really is a nothing competition isn't it!?

Admittedly, I didn't read the rules but my dreams for this season are shattered now.

 

[Jeff]

League 1/2 teams are supposed to start with a minimum of five first choice players for these games. Bradford made a 'tactical' substitution, replacing their goalkeeper in the third minute.

I love the Portsmouth comment

We can see you, we can see you, we can see you sneaking in!

Rush keeper? First man back? Hope the attendances are as shite as the photos suggest.

I'm not starting a post match thread for this, it doesn't deserve one. So I'll keep this one open.

What was tonight's highest attendance in this competition?

 

[Jeff]

Tonight's results mean we're through to the knockout stage.
Our game against Walsall will decide who tops the group.
