Interesting that they’re not using this as an opportunity to get a run out for some of the older squad to build match time - but good luck to them, tonight’s team that is. ---

Only Everton (2-0) and Norwich (5-1) U23’s with significant leads so far. Pompey 4-2 down at Yeovil (haha). ---

Not sure I like this group format, or that we have penos straight after 90 mins. Unless we win, then it’s fine by me. ---

It’s not got great coverage by the BBC. Relying on tweets from Saints. Not good.

There was a live scores tab on the bbc site but that was all and they didn’t make it particularly obvious. ---

good, lets leave it to the teams it’s meant for. Hopefully all under 23 teams will be knocked out first round. ---

It’s a group format, still 2 games to go against Crawley and Colchester. ---

Putting aside the politics of the situation, it’s interesting to see that our U23 side can comfortably live with a midtable League one outfit. ---

True, and but for a missed pen in normal time and another two in the shootout, we’d have got the points. ---

we need to practice taking penalties. Who is on charge of penalty practice at saints? ---
