That's what concerns me, we seem to have a group of players this year who think they're better than they are (see Shrewsbury) and not taking a NL side seriously is exactly how you get embarrassed.

Unlike the other plastic tinpot competitions get the full squad of pros out for this one and make sure we get through the first couple of rounds at very least. Getting past round 3 is worth best part of 200k+ in prize money plus gate receipts and potential TV revenue.

So true.

Has the makings of a cracking cup-tie. Why were we so good against Millwall in the Carabao and relatively poor since?

It's all bout getting to the 3rd Round, methinks.

Just win two games, simples.

Didn’t make it onto the terrestrial box.
