A must win game as the EFL trophy is likely to be the best chance of silverware and a trip to Wembley is on offer plus the additional tv money and prize money.

Based on Liverpool’s u23s still having a strong squad (May change tomorrow with deadline day) , Fleetwood could be the easier of the 2 home games.

It's Liverpool Under-21s Dave ! We also have Oldham away to come which hopefully is a win for the reds :)

Sorry U21s although they have very few players over 21 in the u23s squad (if that makes sense!).

to me dav is 100% right with this it is our only realistic chance of getting to wembley, i just hope with folk, that penny drops and we get more attending i'm sure those that cant be bothered will be if it was a wembley trip,
 
Not a case of not being bothered Cashy, I've voiced my feelings about this competition before & they haven't changed. Always attended these games in the old format but once the under 21's teams from the 'big boys' were invited in, sorry but I didn't agree with it & still don't.
And, if we did get to Wembley in this competition it would be so hard but I would not go on principal
 
Agree with your sentiments AccyMad - I must admit I am a fan of the competition, I was dubious about the U23 teams, however Jimmy Bell said to me it helps him and Coley with loan targets from Prem Teams as they can view them playing mens football.
Make sense I guess
 
He can't really say anything else Cashy or there'd probably be repurcussions - each to their own but personally as they say on Dragons Den, "I'm out"
 
"I like this competition, I like competing and I like winning games of football." - John Coleman. He can't make it clearer than that, so get yerself along! A real bargain at a fiver!

To be fair Wynonie, Coley has also said he's competitive at everything - even a game of tiddlywinks & I wouldn't pay to watch him play that :D
 
Seven changes
Savin
Hughes
Edwards
Skyes
Sherif
Pritchard
mcconville
Maguire
Barclay
Bishop
Carvalho
 
At half time

Savin - looks composed and a solid reaction save
Hughes - does the overwhelming majority of distribution out of the back
Sykes - solid enough
Edwards - quiet game so far
Mcguire - not a left back or left wing back IMO, constantly putting the ball onto his right foot
Sherif - positional sense needs work, arguably worst Stanley player so far, doesn’t look good enough based on that first 30 mins before subbed
Finley - improvement over Sherif
Barclay - industrious , needs to influence the game more
Carvalho - not had any decent balls to feed him, quiet so far most of the action is on the left for Stanley until 40th minute.
McConville - okay so far, you can tell they see him as a threat
Bishop - works hard but lost more than he has won in the air
Pritchard - lively at times but holds onto the ball for too long, had a decent half chance at the back post with a header

Referee - crap, gave a decision the wrong way, gave Fleetwood a very soft free kick in the first 30 seconds, out of his depth. There red card was blatant but if Stanley hadn’t of reacted so angrily to the daft booking on Sherif for a nothing foul a minute earlier, he wouldn’t have given it.
Not to mention waving playing on when Finley went down with a head injury

Few decent players in the Fleetwood team, the right back Coyle and midfielder Demsey, 2 quality players at this level.

Suspect they will soon settle for a nil nil draw by 70 mins, Stanley need a goal to ruin there successful all behind the ball tactic
