A couple of questions for anyone that knows.
Why are we in this and why are all 3 of our games away?

To win it

Luck of the draw.

And the answer to the question you didn't ask is lactose-free milk and no sugar. Thanks.

because we are a PL2 club and, they are not. We play teams home and away.

But it’s a little 4 team group which I think the top 2 qualify from. Makes no sense that all 3 are away. Maybe because we’re one of the not many top division clubs in it?

Why wouldn't be in it?
We have return fixtures at home against QPR and Derby in December. Not quite sure why there doesn't appear to b one against Bournemouth though. Anybody?

0-0 at half time. Giving them too much time IMHO. Inviting them to come and get the ball a few yards from our goal is all very well - but sooner or later they probably will do just that. Second half like at QPR now please!

Young starting 11. More senior reinforcements on at half time - Miller, Peupion and Packham on for Jackson and Wilson (not sure who the third one is).
Miller goes close ............................

Edit: third one substituted was Everitt.

Thanks, couldn’t see the later games on the fixtures I was looking at so assumed all were away!

Not all Premier League 2 sides are in it. City, Liverpool, United, Leicester and a few others are all missing.

Lost 3-0 to Bournemouth at home in August

Hang on, I'm a bit confused. Derby are playing Portsmouth in the league tonight. How does that work? I thought the lower teams played their first team v our babies? Or are they playing their babies against our babies? In which case, we have no excuse for not SMASHING them.

Edit:

Oh, hang on. It's the PL2 cup, not that other funny one. Duh!
