Will be interesting to see how we approach this.

BBM has gone with a strong team in the Carabao Cup games.

If we play a strong team in this, we should get out of the group.

After that, it's a chance to get to Wembley and win a trophy.

Depends how we're doing in the league I suppose.

Ned,

Birmingham City took it seriously.

I think BBM will as it’s about Winning and Confidence and keeping the feel good factor going

When we play Arsenal U21 in the away fixture, where will we play them? Not at the Emirates surely?

We're playing Arsenal U21s at home. Newport at home too and Exeter is the away game.

U21 teams in this competition always play their games away.
