Why is there a shootout in a group match?
Is this competition still regionalised right up to the semi-finals?

Almost as hilarious as the kit Man City wore tonight
Was it the ‘Welcome Cocktail’ kit again ?

Both teams get one point for the draw. The winner of the penalty shoot-out earns an extra point.
The competition is regionalised up to the round of 16. From the quarter-finals onwards there is no regionalisation - Competition Rules - 2019-20
Draw is probably next week, sometime after the next round of fixtures.
Going by last season, the next round will be about a month away.
A few clubs we could possibly get are Coventry City, Oxford United and Plymouth Argyle.

Are we allowed to draw another U21 side?
Sensible? I think not! The Amex would be "sensible".
I think so, two U21 sides drew each other a few years ago.
This is from Wikipedia about last season:
‘Teams were drawn in a regionalised format, with the proviso that no teams from the same Group Stage group can meet. To ensure this, group winners from groups A to D were drawn against group runners-up from groups E to H in the same section, and vice versa.’
Also, we got to Round 3 a few years ago, but lost to Coventry, who went on to win the whole thing.
Would love it if we got there again and get Portsmouth away.

He is in his second scholar year with us. Has spent a fair amount of time injured.
Last season he only made 11 appearances for the U-18s but did score 6 goals (all 6 goals came in a run of 5 successive starts through February and March). He hadn't made his first start until January 12th, with only two sub appearances before December. He made one appearance for the development squad last season, scoring as a sub against Eastbourne Town in the SSC in February.
At the start of this season he was injured again. He has two goals in 5 appearances for the U-18s this term and has started the last couple of matches for the development squad.
We signed him from Coleraine. He became their youngest ever first team scorer when he netted (at the age of 15) in their North-West Cup semi-final against Moyola Park in September 2017. He is a Northern Ireland U-17 international. The Albion website reported on September 1st this year that he had been called up to the NI U-19 squad but his injury forced his withdrawal. He hasn't been capped since he has been with us.
