When we were in League 1 I was really dissapointed

we didn't get to the JPT cup final at Wembley. We were obviously, alongside Southampton and Leeds, in a brilliant position to win a trophy at wembley.

This year though now our under 23's have a good chance of getting to the finals I can't help feeling it isn't fair on the lower division clubs. I know an awful lot has been written about this subject before but last nights game really brought it home for me. When our under 23s play Everton under 23s at Wembley its going to be a farce isn't it? A great experience for players like Godfrey etc but what a kick in the teeth for all the division 1 & 2 teams
