Football League Trophy


valefan79

Recommended Posts

Rochdale at home to Bolton tonight in the Football League Trophy, should Bolton win, only a draw needed against Liverpool Under 21 to qualify, a Rochdale win would mean potentially we have to win by a number of goals when we play next week.

I know this competition is not for many but think its important to progress as far as we can, important giving game time for those fringe players, done good for the likes of Amoo, Taylor and Politic and any money for the wins could help the wages of someone in January.

if things stay as they are, a Vale defeat would mean a three way tie on points, wouldn’t it? Does it go down to goal difference or head to head?

Goal difference, then goals scored, then number of wins, then head to head, then drawing of lots.

A win or a draw next week sends us through, can even afford to lose on penalties as we would gain a point.  A defeat would send us out on goal difference.  No chance of topping the group now so means an away game in the next round should we go through.

So £310k plus a 33% share of the TV revenue for the final if you win every game.... not to be sniffed at!

We have the depth to make a concerted effort with this.

Ideal chance to get minutes into the squad players and some lovely pennies to lump on Politic and Cass come May. Taylor, Amoo, Lloyd, Martin are going to be needed this season at some juncture. Make sure they're ready to keep HMS Walk the League on course.

Hope we utilise the competition well. It's rightly lambasted but it's cash and minutes, the lifeblood of lower league clubs.
