Vertu Trophy Draw - We've got Newport and Exeter

Pre determined part of the draw means we have Newport and Exeter. One will be at home and one away.

Then we'll have an U21 prem team at home.

Newport, expect a few old heads out for that one !!

What are you all thinking about this competition - a good chance of getting to Wembley and picking up some silverware or a bit of an embarrassment that we're even in it so we should play the kids (as far as the rules allow)? I'm tending towards the latter to be honest.

A mix of youth and first team. Newport makes it interesting and we don't want to be turned over by the u21 team.

Wouldn't turn down a Wembley trip either if we were lucky to get that far.

The attendance at Aprils final between Peterboro & Birmingham was 71,000, so given BBMs, want to win every game statement, I think he’ll take it seriously.

I think it's a great opportunity to play some younger players and slowly feed in more experienced players if we progress.

It's only really a good tournament from a first team perspective from the semi finals onwards but personally my hope for this season is:

1- promotion
2- win this competition
3 - and FA cup / league cup run.

Realistically as a league one team, a great FA cup run means the 5th round or something. I would swap that for winning this trophy.

Completely tinpot and pointless unless we reach Wembley then it’s completely massive. Unless we lose then it’s tinpot again.

I’m mildly fussed about it, mostly just for new away days.
