The Saddlers have been drawn in Group D in the EFL Trophy. The opposition will be Bristol Rovers and Oxford United. A fourth team will be added in a later draw which will take place tomorrow Tuesday 18th August at 1.30 pm.
One of these teams will be drawn into Walsall’s group:
Arsenal under-21s
Brighton & Hove Albion under-21s
Chelsea under-21s
Fulham under-21s
Norwich City under-21s
Southampton under-21s
West Bromwich Albion under-21s
West Ham United under-21s
My opinion?
Walsall has been placed in a rather though group and we will be lucky to get to the next round. The cup is not important other than it gives a few more pounds from ticket sales. I think the cup should have been scrapped this season due to the congested match schedule.
