Among the schedule is one for us of course so the hope will be that this can result in a win.
Then again, which is more than possible of course, it could be a draw in the latest group game and that would mean a penalty shootout to determine a winner.
Some of the games taking place wouldn’t be out of place as a League One or Two fixture, others would be what the clubs involved would happily want to take place, well, if they weren’t against Premier League or Championship teams’ U21 sides…
Bristol Rovers, Forest Green, Mansfield, Blackpool and Charlton are the ones facing ‘bigger’ clubs as they take on West Ham, Swansea, Everton, Middlesbrough and Fulham’s youngsters – with the sprinkling of some senior professionals involved – respectively.
