Well it's supposed to be our first team, but it's clear to see that it's pretty much our U23s as welloohaahmortimer said:I’m a football snob and I’m embarrassed we are associated with this shit .
I mean palace u-23s are in it and so are our first team , beyond insulting .
I actually don’t know if palace u-23s are in it but I’ve heard some prem teams kids are in it0 -
For anybody waking up and trying to figure out what happened:-
We drew 2-2 and lost the pen shoot out 4-2
Took me a good 20 mins to find the result on Charlton Life and my usual app doesn’t give results for the checkatrade1 -
Always thought the tournament was ok until it was ruined by the insulting imposition of U23’s teams. Before that it gave a lower league team the chance to get to Wembley and try out a few of their kids along the way.5

LB was happy with the game last night - even the competition - and understandably so. Youth players doing fine and the recovering players showed some promise. Great response from Sarr and Marshall after being dropped.
The result wasnt important but still decent. AFC played 7 involved in their match Saturday - we played 3 from the Southend game. The Dons commentators talked about Ajose and Marshall like them being our biggest stars...not fringe players.
Maloney and RHF might be progressing, but looked to be some way from being ready. Yao struggeled before the break but finished the game fearless. Mascoll did well when he came on. Morgan goes missing at times, but in moments looks real special with his touch and passing. Lapslie looks ready for any challenge. Our most influencal player last night. Started the attack before the 2-2 equalizer, driving us forward.
Steer beaten six times, but he did alright. Slipped a couple of times, but recovered quick. His distribution looked alert and good. Nearly sent RHF through with a 60 yard kick, but the striker strayed offside.

I may have missed it, but I kept looking, the Times (printed version at least) seems to have totally ignored all the checkatrade games and results from last night.1

I think the format would have been pretty good had they given teams complete control over their squads and had Conference teams been involved rather than U23 teamsAthletico Charlton said:Always thought the tournament was ok until it was ruined by the insulting imposition of U23’s teams.

I like the idea of Conference teams but I guess they'd have to drop a competition off of their list of commitments.ForeverAddickted said:

They've only got the League | FA Cup | FA Trophy so no more than what League teams playSimonsen said:

Although Sutton and Boreham Wood are also part of the Scottish Challenge Cup now as the top two Conference sides not to be promoted get invited to that now0 - Sponsored links:

It's a nonsense competition with a ridiculous format, its only redeeming feature is a Wembley final.
I'd prefer drawing two clubs out of hat, from League One and Two who haven't played at Wembley for say five years or so and play for the "You're fucking useless but have a day out at Wembley Cup"7 -
We can still get to Wembley x0

Sutton have to play at Airdrie a 778 mile round trip.0

Yeah Scottish Challenge Cup got amended two years to include the top two sides from Wales and Northern Ireland, last season the Republic of Ireland got two sides added and this season the two Conference sides have been included from England - Boreham Wood are at home to Dunfermline whilst Sutton have to go up to Airdrieonians in the second round (the stage they come into)golfaddick said:

Although the Challenge Cup is like our Football League Trophy where its not open to Scottish Premiership sides, only their U20 teams can play
Hopefully one year Cowdenbeath will have to travel down to Welling for a game as will be down PVR straight away0 -
