Kicks off soon 19:00 the EFL Cup. I think we need to win to progress or a draw if Bristol Rovers slip up. Looks like a bit of a hill to climb. COYP

Its not the league cup I guess.Theres to many competitions in my opinion, whats the Europa conference league all about? Is everything geared up to let the glamour clubs at least win something every season?

Well Plymouth have just scored in injury time and Rovers won as well so it's saranoya this season. Goals a lot harder to come by than when they play even the best of their peers

Somehow we were in a west country group, we needed seniors really to compete, but good experience anyway. Flying in the U21 PL.

EFL means English Football League. Previous names over the years are Johnstone's Paint Trophy or Auto Windscreens Shield For the vast majority of it's existence, it has been a competition for League 1 and League 2 clubs only (Divisions 3 and 4 in old money) About 5 or so years ago, Category 1 Academies could enter (usually Premier League Clubs U21s) on the basis that all their games were away and it was under U21 rules (so almost no over age players in the teams) It's quite 'regulated' with lots of rules as to the make up of the teams, to make sure the League 1 and 2 clubs don't put forward teams that are too weak, and that the Prem U21s don't put in teams that are too strong/experienced. It's the sort of cup that most clubs only get interested in if they get to the quarters or semi, but of course the world and his dog attend the final!
