Match Thread Grimsby v Leicester u21s EFL Trophy

[Jeff]

What was tonight's highest attendance in this competition?

Dunno. Maybe it was the 1,335 at Portsmouth. They average over 16,000 for league games.

 

[Jeff]

2,085 at Cov, for their big derby game against Northampton.

2,619 at Sheffield United.

They should abandon this competition now before it gets any more embarrassing.

They should put it back as it was; as a chance for a couple of little clubs to get to Wembley.

 

[Lako42]

No keeper and we won 1-0

Our youth team really is a bit shit

 

[Motown Fox]

2,619 at Sheffield United.

That is if that's true. There was officially about 1000 more at our game at Bramall Lane, but there was certainly not that many at that game

Guessing they were allowed to move the jumpers closer together as a result of having no keeper.

 

[Miles Away]

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

Dead rubber match against Walsall in the EFL Trophy really gets the nipples tingling. Can feel it all the way in my plums.

Tbf it was probably as enjoyable listening to that as it was watching the Man Utd game.

The prize for the most loyal player on social media has to go to Benalouane though. Maybe shared with Schweinsteiger

I can't work out why he isn't nearer the 1st team.

He's looked more than good enough on the few occasions I've seen him.

 

[Mawsley]

A massive victory and a slap in the face to those idiots wanting Clownio sacked. A night to remember.

A definite turning point

Should be ahead of Was in the pecking order now anyway

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

What makes you think he is a better CB than Was?

Not without being in the Premier League 25 players he won't be.
January before he can, that's why hes playing all these EFL Trophy games.

True. Don't think Wasilewski will play before January either though

 

[City Fan]

What makes you think he is a better CB than Was?

He's not a complete oaf...

 

[SwedeFox]

What makes you think he is a better CB than Was?

I don't know that he is. Can't imagine that he'd be much worse than Was was against Chelsea, though. Worth giving him a chance.

 

[Motown Fox]

Fair play to the 27 of them.

(Nutters)

And you have to hand it to the Accrington fans too.

I guess the Chesterfield fans could well have been singing "come in a taxi, you must have come in a taxi, come in a taxi."

 

[Motown Fox]

The action from the game.
