Here's the bit from the EFL website re the Checkatrade Trophy: Disciplinary • Cautions and sending-offs are exclusive to the tournament and won’t affect other EFL or Premier League fixtures. • Any player who is set to serve a suspension for a yellow or red card offence in any other EFL or FA...

Well yep. The club must have done their maths though. They are not that stupid are they?

No, actually. Read it again. It says any other EFL or FA competition. Ridiculous of course, but it doesn't talk of league games. So if Willis had been sent off in the FA or League cup it wouldn't have counted. Guess he is indeed missing then. :( You would have to think the club know the...

Clearly says there that bans earned elsewhere do not count in the EFL Trophy.

Here! Read this. It's from Hartlepool's site, but has been plucked straight from the official EFL site. Rules And Regulations For 2016-17 Checkatrade Trophy

I knew it would be rejected. The EFL thing is weird, because on their official site it clearly says only yellows and reds in THIS competition qualify and no other bans are relevant or count.

We don't bring anyone in we are left with Beavon, Vernam and George Thomas. Unless Kwane Thomas suddenly springs to life and got a pair of golden boots for Christmas. It's a very thin looking front line. Beavon had already admitted that he's not really a goalscorer and is more of a provider...

Not sure that much Viagra is good for you, Houch.

Has your keyboard ran out of ink?

To who?

I know. But every season we end up with a number two.

Outrageous!

We need strengthening. If two go out and one comes in that will be annoying. Even one out one in if it is Stevenson. That will not be strengthening. We do still have the two trialists though don't we.

So it was two to come in, now down to one and the one is not our first choice. Mouthwatering isn't it.

I bet they were all billy big bollocks all summer and had a touch of arrogance going into this season. I do honestly think the new rules about man handling in the penalty box have made a difference. Morgan and Huth, Huth especially, had their hands and arms all over players last season, both in...

Oxford through. So out of Oxford, Luton and Yeovil to face us if we beat Wycombe.

We playing Brentford in the EFL Trophy?

Bottom of the barrel scrapings? Can't see that many good strikers being available anyway, but if we missed out on our first choice, how good is the second choice?

Would be funny. Fair play for winning the Premier last season, but what a fall from grace!!

There is no loan window. All finishes tonight. After 11 pm you can only sign unattached players.
