There will be some rule changes for this coming season https://www.efl.com/news/2018/june/future-format-of-checkatrade-trophy-and-201819-rule-changes/

I'm going to guess that when the draw is made we'll be in a group with Argyle, Yeovil and a Cat A team.

Backing Gary Caldwell, thanks Matt and good luck.
Also some changes for the league cup. No extra time, penalties at 90 mins if needed and original format not abba anymore, round one will still be a north south split but the first two rounds will not be seeded anymore so we could get another league two side.

Mk Dons first league game and in the cup anyone?

I wonder if we'll take this more seriously under Taylor. Yeovil got to the semis of the thing this year - Yeovil! If they can, we can. Also, going far didn't seem to stop Lincoln progressing in the league.

So MKDons at SJP twice in the first week of the season?

As to Lincoln their manager said that in the play off semi esp first leg they were missing key players with injuries after a very long/packed season

Is this the Johnstone paint trophy with a new sponsor?

Aye, still deserves a boycott whilst the Premier League development squads are admitted.
