Dull, error prone, tactically inept football from the home team, the fixture - not one to get the excitement levels up, a flawed useless competition, weather gonna be pish poor, one hopes the lowest attendance record will be broken.

Fish and chips and mushy peas are all my brain and body needs

Great name for it UD the Poundland Trophy, the EFL should have approached them before Leasing.com

Looking at this trophy now is very sad. If this competition was in accident and emergency fighting for its life, and then flat lined. The Doctors would look at each other and suggest jump starting it’s heart. Then they would look at each other and go nah! “Come on let’s go to the pub. Bring back the Autowindscreens format, we DON’T WANT THE PREMIER league it our competition [censored]* off

I wouldn't be surprised if it sponsored by Thomas Cook next season.

Don’t know how to post the picture, but the Daily Telegraph are running an �exclusive’ tomorrow under the heading “EFL chief Shaun Harvey: I wanted to stage cup draw in outer space”.

Must be the EFL Trophy due to lack of atmosphere....

We are the only game being played in the Trophy tonight, having chosen not to use the traditional pre-International Tuesday like most others did.

Pathetic...

I believe JN voted for the admittance of U21 teams to the EFL trophy and now the competition is dying.

This illustrates the quality of decision making, or rather the lack of it, at board level at Brunton Park.

As I've said before if Carlisle United were a public company the shareholders would have given the directors the push by now.

Well 7 U21 teams made the Second Round, 5 have gone out, leaving Man City and Leicester as the last teams standing.

Another successful Season in the Trophy for the future of the England team!

The size of crowds in this competition is irrelevant to those in charge of clubs, because the money they’ve accepted from the Premier League covers the lost revenue and more (not that the old trophy was bringing in the crowds).

You could have, may have, one man and a dog at a game, it won’t make any difference to their decision making as long as the pound signs are dangled before their eyes by the top clubs...

But they're not they.ve welshed on everything they offered to make it happen all they pay now are the 10k fees for winning. Clubs who.ve tried claiming under the assistance plan have got nowhere and ended up with sums as low as a couple of hundred quid.
