If we lose, goal difference could see us eliminated. Otherwise, we're more or less through to the round of 32-
5.1.2 Round of 32.
(i) The eight winners and eight runners up of the north and south group stages qualify for the round of 32. All other Clubs are eliminated from the Competition.

More rules - The starting eleven. This is a copy and paste from as far back as the Barrow match in the same competition (BBTRR is responsible / takes the credit for it):-
EFL regulations state that each club must field their ‘Full Available Strength’ in and during all EFL Trophy matches.
In this competition, ‘Full Available Strength’ means that at least four players on the field at any one time must be what the EFL designate a ‘Qualifying Player’.
What is a ‘Qualifying Player’ in the EFL Trophy?
A player becomes a ‘Qualifying Player’ if they hit any one of the following conditions:
- The player started for Blackpool in the Carabao Cup against Stoke City
- The player goes on to start for Blackpool against Plymouth Argyle
- The player has made over 40 senior appearances during their entire career, not just at Blackpool
- The player is in the list of 10 players at Blackpool with the highest number of starting appearances in first-team fixtures in the same season
What happens if the EFL Trophy squad selection rules are broken?
If a club does not start with — or at any time during the game fails to have — four ‘Qualifying Players’ on the field, then they can be fined.
Fines can reach up to £5,000.
What happens if Blackpool draw with Barrow?
In more general EFL Trophy rules, it’s worth remembering the quirks of the competition.
In the group stages, if games are drawn then the fixture will go to penalties where teams will compete for a ‘bonus point’.
Otherwise, it is the standard three points for a win and one point for a draw — with nothing on offer for the beaten side.
What prize money could Blackpool earn from the EFL Trophy?
The prize money on offer in the EFL Trophy is a major incentive for many clubs.
Blackpool will have received £20,000 for entering the competition and could net a further £10,000 if they beat Barrow in 90 minutes.
£5,000 is on offer if a game is drawn.
The prize pot increases further as the competition draws on.

ark Jackson’s Under-21s side travel to Bloomfield Road in their final Group G fixture of the Papa John’s Trophy, on Wednesday evening (7pm).
Blackpool come into the game off the back of a comfortable Emirates FA Cup win on Sunday, following a 3-0 win against Eastbourne Borough.
In Sky Bet League One, the Seasiders failed to win in their opening six matches, but there has been an improvement in results in recent games though, with three league wins in their last four.
Neil Critchley is in charge at Bloomfield Road, having taking over at the helm from former Leeds boss Simon Grayson earlier on in 2020. Critchley left his position leading Liverpool’s Under-23s side to test himself in first team management.
Like Blackpool, Leeds will be looking to secure their first win of the competition.
How it stands
The Whites currently sit fourth in Group G after two matches, whereas opponents Blackpool are in third. The group remains wide open with all four teams having the ability to progress into the knock-out stages, whilst all four also face the possibility of being knocked out in the final group match.
The other two sides in the group face off on Tuesday evening. Barrow, who sit second currently will host Accrington who are top of the group. For Leeds’ youngsters to have a chance of progressing on Wednesday evening, the result required is an Accrington victory.
This would then put Stanley on eight points, leaving Barrow on three, meaning a victory over Blackpool would send Jackson’s side through with four points as the Seasiders also sit on three. A win for David Dunn’s Barrow side would see an end to any hopes of progression for the Whites, even before a ball is kicked on the Fylde Coast on Wednesday evening.

9' - It's a great start for the Seasiders, as Bez Lubala picks out Dan Kemp with a glorious cross with the outside of his boot, allowing the on-loan West Ham man to finish in style.

9 - That's a technically excellent goal from the Seasiders. Bez Lubala plays a sublime ball into the middle with the outside of his boot which Dan Kemp meets first-time, shooting high into the Leeds net. https://t.co/gOcZLAcbxK
