There is no Chelsea connection - well not yet anyway.

Surely progressing in these competitions offers a lovely cash bonus also... seems a lot of people are skating over that...

Why's this competition meaningless? I'm no major fan of cup competitions and never have been, that's just a personal enjoyment thing, but this ain't the EFL Trophy. It's the cup.... these are competitive games we should want to progress in.
I think the only cup taken seriously by most clubs is the FA Cup. Players and managers moan they play too many games and its pointless cups that need dropping, albeit we are usually only in them for one game!
FA Cup = the big one! League Cup = Still relatively well respected JPT / EFL Trophy = A chance for League One-Two sides. All of them I think have a place... except the EFL Trophy now they have destroyed it with U21 sides.

Can't understand people saying the issue was the 3-5-2.
Fact is that first half we more than matched them and looked well on our way to 3 points. We conceded a sloppy goal but they were far from all over us. After that, we moved to 4-4-2 - and that is when it all want tits up.
Away from home in League One, I would hazard a guess that Darrell will primarly go for the 3-5-2 - and he's probably right to do until we build up some confidence and have settled in this league.

i find it laughable that people say mildenhall should have saved the 3rd goal as he clearly had no chance at all of stopping it. I can't for the life of me see why. It was about 15 centimetres from him. He moved incredibly slowly to get down to it.

Don't blame Mildenhall at all for the first. A poor defensive header by Gaffney and then slack marking at the back post led to that one. He wasn't solely at fault for the other 2 either but I think he could have done better with both. I've said all pre season we need a new keeper and I still think that's the case. Sorry but you're talking utter nonsense about the 3rd, no goalie at our level is ever going to save a shot hit with power from that angle/distance. You must have seriously low goalkeeping standards if you think no keeper at L1 level is saving that!

Mildi reactions to slow for last two goals ,never got down quick enough for last goal, age telling, sorry just my opinion. Can you explain why his reactions were too slow for the first goal, he dived full length but the shot simply beat him, the final goal would have beaten any goalie. Nah he's got to be getting in the way or at least touching that third. It's literally right next to him. Very poor.

Taylor won't leave this window. Clubs didn't want him for free, if they decide to chuck us 2.5m now then they need their heads checked!

Hi all! Happy to say, GasCast is back! In our first in League One, we take a look at how we believe each player in our squad will handle the step up, and see what we believe we are lacking in order to compete. gas-cast.co.uk/podcast/017-xi-league-one/
Be sure to check it out! If you could share all over your social media etc that would be awesome too. We do it for fun but of course getting as many listeners as possible would be a great UTG! Thanks, Harley

Can't see there being any chance but it is odd that he was there given I can't imagine he's particularly close with any of the current squad. He would be able to get a top league one team easily though surely.

Jesus. No wonder I've been quite on her recently. We played a premier league side, ok maybe not full strength - but with plenty of top top players - and lost. Mainly as our players looked knackered at the start of the game. We drew the second half. Get a grip, it's a friendly, it quite literally means nothing. Just as our draw with Aston Villa means nothing.

Gaffney at 80/1 isn't bad odds. He has a good scoring spell when on loan, if he can refind that form over the season he could do alright. No way can I see Gaffney getting the sort of goal tally required to be a top goalscorer. Might get just over 10 which will be a decent enough return to be honest. Certainly don't expect to get 20+ though - to be honest I'd be utterly delighted if he reached 15. Eh, you didn't expect 28 off Taylor last year!
