Looks like we have:

Coventry City
Shrewsbury
Walsall
Category One club

Category One clubs - Northern:

1. Everton
2. Leicester City
3. Manchester City
4. Middlesbrough
5. Newcastle United
6. Stoke City
7. Sunderland
8. West Bromwich Albion

In our group for next year. I don't think we will retain it!

Happy with this, would be ideal if he had West Brom or Leicester from the Cat 1 teams.

We have already completed the checkatrade as Jay from Inbetweeners would say.
Any run this year is a bonus to our league campaign

The question then becomes "Can Mark Robins' team do it on a cold Wednesday night in Stoke?"

Man City must be favourites for this trophy. I cant imagine how good their U21 side will be.
For that reason and the hope this doesn't get in the way of our title winning campaign I want Man City U21

Least we get to see Crouchy at the Ricoh if we get Stoke Obvious choice for an U21 team.

I'm not contemplating going to a game until the semi final. Worked out well last season.

to be honest I really couldn't care about this now we have won it but there is still a little part of me who wants to make a fight out of it because we are the holders.

Only because i have a Newcastle supporting mate and it's always the same when we play them. If they win i never hear the end of his gloating. If we win i never hear the end of this moaning. It's a total hiding to nothing.

not an easy group but in the scheme of things success in Checkatrade again this season is nowhere near the priority. Would be happy to fall at the first round of every cup (of course I hope we don't) if it meant certain promotion back to L1

agree to a certain point but It would be great to get to the 4th and 5th round of the FA cup or something. Just to put a bit of good feeling back in the club

Hearing the abuse the most successful manager in Arsenal's history gets is fucking horrible at their games.

And the racial chanting towards Asian people who live in our city was embarrassing.

You would think for a such low level tournament they could help the fans by making them a bit closer
