Anyone planning on going? Do you know what block people will sit in for these games? The attendance will likely be ~1k so want to make sure I'm sitting with some people.

Yep, flying in for this one and home tomorrow. Must need head looked at.

What is the fine for not adhering to the rules? I don't think it's actually too bad is it?

It's ridiculous though, they put the Premier League U21 teams in to give the young players a chance to play competitive football, yet when EFL clubs want to play their kids in the same competition they get fined!! Utterly ludicrous.

I really want to qualify and get as far in this competition as we can - we absolutely can win it again. We have a big squad for L1, so we can cope with extra games.

I’d go:

Wilson

Watson Williams McFadzean McCallum

Westbrooke Eccles Walsh

Jobello Biamou Bapaga

McCallum needs game time, even if he comes off at 60 minutes.
I’d give Walsh game time ahead of Saturday.
Jobello needs a confidence boost and game time to help everyone (including him) work our what his strengths and style are.
McFadzean to be the leader in an inexperienced team.

I’d also like to see Ngandu and Burroughs at some point.

Just what exactly is the "Leasing.com Trophy" anyway?

Would think Walsall would bring a few, as it's so close, and they don't get to play at that ground very often. Wouldn't be surprised if there were more of them than us. Crowd 1798.

The fine is £5k and the rules have changed now so we can play most of our kids and reserve players

Personally wouldn't be starting anyone we are hoping to start on Saturday... The fact we've played 8 games already is ridiculous, get some rest in legs and give a chance for those just out team to get some game time.

Would be good to keep our little Stans run going though, but this is a bad Walsall team, even if they dont make changes...

Walsall will bring at least a couple of hundred. I'm revising my attendance estimate to 877 (due to a sudden epiphany!)

1-1 draw, and lose on pens for the bonus point.
