1st points of the year awared to theo_luddite, ritchiebaby, & SCO
There's an EFL Trophy issue at the moment with Swindon Town, where Manager Ian Hollowmouth (why am I not surprised?) played a player as a sub that wasn't on the original teamsheet and another player, that was apparently banned for 7 games, against Luton and they won 1-0. Luton apparently didn't complain at the time about the banned player, but the game was held up for 12 minutes whilst the player that wasn't named thing was sorted out. Though if we can play Alfie May against Donny Rovers I'm not sure how that ban holds up for Swindon if it's for another competition.
Anyway - the Quarter Finals aren't due until a week on Tuesday.
I'll give you as much notice as I can and whether Swindon or Luton are home to Plymouth or whether there's got to be a replay. The other fixtures are :-
AFC Wimbledon v Northampton Town
Huddersfield Town v Doncaster Rovers
Port Vale v Stockport County
If you want to pick a side from the 7 we all know are involved above please do so. If there's a replay for Swindon v Luton, which will likey also be played a week on Tuesday and you are hedging your bets on Swindon or Luton, you'll not be able to pick from any of the winners of the 3 confirmed fixtures. You'll be stuck with Swindon/Luton or Plymouth. You can still pick Plymouth in the meantime. The games we know about all kick off at 7:00 pm a week on Tuesday so that is the deadline. I should have the rest of the year posted in the next couple of days anyway.
I've been trying to load more interest into the back end of the year, but in all honesty, there's bugger all going on in major sport that results in a final in December. If there's anything more important than shove ha'penny, tiddley-winks, marbles, 5's & 3's or conkers that you're aware of, let me know.
I'm going for Town (and no it's not Northampton or Luton).
We should all be picking from 8, but we might not be able to and so right now pick from 7 if you want to or wait to see if it is 8 by a week on Tuesday. It's not fare if some later get to pick from 4 or 5. If you sit on the fence you'll only get the chance to pick from 2.
