What on Earth do you think you're playing at sneaking in like that, I could have been doing anything." "I did knock several times ,Sir." "Yes, well, I'd got the headphones on." "I can see,Sir. Your laptop is still playing." "Chri-..erm, research...erm. What do you want anyway? Bursting in here like that." "I have come to do the match thread with you ,Sir" "What bloody match? It's the International break." "The Cup match, Sir. Tomorrow evening" "Cup match. The Cup doesn't start until November" "No, Sir the other Cup... "The League Cup...? "No ,Sir The.... "Man alive, make it stop! How low we have fallen. I'd forgotten all about this thing. What a showing up being in this. Can't we forfeit?" "Alas not Sir. You play Newcastle at home tomorrow evening." "We do? Oh, well, at least that's something. Be able to stick it to old turncoat Bruce." "Mr Bruce won't be there I wouldn't have thought" "Oh?" "He's not the manager of their U21 side" "Under 21's!? Out! Get out! Get out! Wake me when we play Plymouth" Newcastle United Under-21s will look to upset the in-form Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday as they travel to Hillsborough to get their EFL Trophy campaign started. The two teams are joined by League Two opposition in Harrogate Town and Mansfield Town, with the Owls one of the favourites to progress from the group. The tournament provides an opportunity for some of the younger players at the club to impress Steve Bruce as they look to knock on the door of the first team.

WalthamOwl Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Hope we play as many of the young kids as possible. Last thing we need is more injuries to our first team squad, especially from playing in this joke of a competition 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morepork Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I don't risk a single first choice player for this fixture, certainly not Gregory, Byers or Hunt. I utilise the players in our squad that are needing a full game and the rest I make up with youngsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wake me when we play Plymouth" I do believe we have been (Metorphorically) caught with our trousers down your Lordship. A fixtur crisis of gigantic proportions. We have a few first team injuries. But that is not the cruxt of the matter. As we kick off at 7pm so will our Under 23's be kicking off at Colchester no less. So the question arrises of which is the more important game ? One to Ponder, one to ponder indeed ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFL clubs must have at least four 'qualifying' outfield players in their line-ups, with players needing to meet these requirements: Any player who started the previous or following first-team fixture Any player who is in the top 10 players at the club who have made the most starting appearances in league and domestic cup competitions that season Any player with 40 or more first-team appearances in their career Any player on loan from a Premier League club or any EFL 'Category One' academy club A club can play any eligible goalkeeper in the competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drewswfc Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Quite looking forward to this. Hoping to see more of Corbeanu and a bit of sow and Gibson and also some of our younger squad members. It is what it is and we're in it so we might aswell play to win it. 3-1 wednesday. UTO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
