Always keen to avoid the newly promoted clubs at the start of a season. They always play with a little bit more of a bounce and can catch you off guard - even Norwich beat Man City at the start of last season. Give us some games against West Ham, Newcastle, Burnley, Brighton, Sheff U etc to start with please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 17 August, 2020 Share Posted 17 August, 2020 1 minute ago, Saint Garrett said: What is the group stage? Does that mean extra games? There has been a group stage for the last 3 seasons. Group stage Sixteen groups of 4 teams would be organised on a regionalised basis. All groups would include one invited club. All clubs would play each other once, either home or away (Academies play all group matches away from home). Clubs would be awarded three points for a win and one point for a draw. In the event of a drawn game (after 90 minutes), a penalty shootout would be held with the winning team earning an additional point. Clubs expelled from the EFL will be knocked out of the tournament automatically. The top two teams would progress to the Knockout Stage. Knockout stage Round 2 and 3 of the competition will be drawn on a regionalised basis. In Round 2, the group winners shall be seeded and the group runners-up shall be unseeded in the draw. In Round 2, teams who played in the same group as each other in the Group Stage shall keep apart from each other. Academy teams from Round 2 to the semi-finals keep apart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 17 August, 2020 Share Posted 17 August, 2020 3 minutes ago, The Cat said: Group A please IIRC in the past they structured the draw to avoid games like Pompey 1st team vs Saints academy in the group stage possibly on police advice. Hopefully that has changed for this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 17 August, 2020 Share Posted 17 August, 2020 (edited) Who did we have in the group stage last season? This is the League cup rather than the Checkatrade?

The above group stage is for the EFL Trophy, it doesn't have a sponsor for 2020/21. Last season it was called the Leasing.com Cup, the season before it was the Checkatrade.

Think we were knocked out by Charlton last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxing Day only moves to two days after Christmas if the day after Christmas is a Sunday. If Christmas is Friday, Boxing Day is Saturday and the following Monday is a Bank Holiday observed.

tajjuk Posted 20 August, 2020 Share Posted 20 August, 2020 An average set of fixtures, bloody Burnley away early again, bet the weather will be crap, early September but it'll be Feb weather. Hopefully though should be able to pick up enough form and points to not be near the bottom, compared to last year where we played the previous seasons top 9 teams in the first 12 games IIRC.
