Match Day Thread EFL Cup Bromley v Wycombe 26th Aug 25

The Chairboys travel to London again in the EFL Cup to take on the Ravens at Hayes Lane. This is the the first competitive meeting between the two clubs since our Isthmian days back in the 80s.
Team news: The mystery continues as to what team Mr Steps will put out and what system we play is anyones guess.
I won't be travelling but I will be following the game via Sky Sports+ hopefully we progress to the 3rd round but I wouldn't bet on it

 

Hope we lose as it will be another nail in Dodd's coffin.

 

Blimey that's two games running we have scored in the first half

 

1-1 This is following Saturday's game with the timing of the first two goals

 

Dodds has still won only one game since the 18th April in 90mins & that was by an own goal

 

Looks like 4 academy players came off the bench

 

And one of them (Stones) scored in the shoot out, effectively a sudden death winner. He must feel chuffed

 

Stones is the 16 year old who played at Orient

 

Dodds doing what Dodds does best under 21 coach

 

To me after the few games so far this season the Development Squad is dead & buried it's all about the Academy now as you say Guy what Dodds does best

 

I think the Development "Squad" isn't exactly a squad. From what I can make out they are just youngish players who might make the grade and they put them out on loan for experience if not good enough to play in any first team games. I suspect those in the academy will either grow into the first team squad, the Development "Squad" or let go

The academy play in a league now I believe. But there is no such outlet for the Development "Squad" as far as I know

 

Well we won't be playing Man U. They lost 12-11 on penalties. Pulled back from 2-0 down to 2-2. Grimbsy also had 2 goals disallowed

 

Away to Wigan

 

Not very exciting still I suppose it might give us a half-chance for the next round.

 

A clean sheet would give us half a chance
