Really daft A small reduction wouldn't have cost a lot and would be good PR It's typical of what happens in any organisation when the bean counters take charge As Oscar Wilde said they know the price of everything but the value of nothing

Good sense as usual Essex Most people within football thought that genuine U23 teams would be overpowered by most Division 1 & 2 senior teams which is how it panned out really Yes Swansea got to the QF but they only had to beat another U23 team to do it You only have to look at when Liverpool...

No chance of it being scrapped after the success of our final All the papers carried big features on it with various angles covered including how it was the 4th biggest attendance in Europe that weekend Although the early rounds can be seen as a chore every club in Divisions 1 and 2 would love...

Then we drew with Peterborough and Bolton who both got very late equalizers and beat Brighton U23 3-0 in the Checkatrade It was downhill after that though..........

He actually started here reasonably well and I remember our crowd chanting his name over the first few games But after 3 or 4 games his team selections became insane

Actually Barry Hearn still owns the ground personally. He gave the club a 20 year lease when he sold to the crazed Italian. Hearn had separated the stadium from the club during his years in charge All pretty distasteful. He only sold the club after failing to blackmail the Olympic Legacy Company...

Brilliant. Well done

Thanks. Appreciate your kind thoughts. It was probably just frustration of a few over missing out on previous EFL Trophy final

I'm not as pessimistic as some contributors for next year From what I've seen so far I'd trust Robins to make best use of whatever resources he has Most relegated clubs are not in our position. They just have poor players who aren't good enough or guys who are past their best We have a group of...

He was at Wembley with his family. The kids were decked out in Coventry shirts apparently. I suspect he was upset at not being told in advance he wouldn't be on the bench

The Yak also apparently gone

They don't hate us as much as they hate West Ham. Good way to wind them up Wednesday

The Checkatrade twitter site has pictures of Appleton and his team at Wembley today And our team too Checkatrade Trophy (@CheckatradeTrpy) on Twitter

The guy was used by the owners. He had a decent number of players who were keen to come to the club didn't necessarily expect the top offer possible. But when they or their agent saw what was actually on offer who could blame them if they went elsewhere Fisher boasted on release of the recent...

Jak Hickman is apparently the pick of the bunch

At least there was a happy ending with Maxwell [emoji106]

Kassam sounds like the scum of the Earth

He's already played for Everton U23's. And Tony Martinez is also cup tied for West Ham U23

Actually from memory at least I think Cian Harries played in most of the earlier Checkatrade games. Wembley might suit his playing style. I fancy Mark Robins will have a good enough idea by now

Don't park in the stadium car parks. Getting out after the game is a nightmare
