Can someone cleverer than me confirm its not 8/1? I must be as dumb as Ding Dang Its a one in eight or 12.5% chance in my book.

"One in 8" is a probability.

8/1 means eight teams can't be Stoke and one team can.

7/1 means seven teams can't be Stoke and one team can.

Basically, probability/chance and odds are different things.

We have a "one in eight" chance of drawing Stoke U21 as there are eight teams and they are one of them.

But for odds, 7/1 means seven unsuccessful outcomes and one successful outcome, so seven teams who aren't Stoke and one who is.

Odds and probability/chance are different.

The 4-0 drubbing of bury at gigg last season was a real bright light in an otherwise dark period of the season.

At £5 entry it was cheap too. Home matches in this thing cost more than league matches to ST holders.

Poll: DF in or out

It's a real pity that we blew it at home against Lincoln City last season.......we were on for some decent loot. Could argue that the Cups were a distraction, and we needed to sort our league form out........which luckily we just about did.

Still think we should go out to win these games though.

Good draw this.

Given we played bury (a) in Checkatrade last year we are guaranteed to be at home.

I think I'm right in saying we automatically get the U21 side at home too.

There is decent prize money in this competition and if you're at home you'll get to take whatever breadcrumbs exists from beer and pie sales without the inconvenience of travel.

As do FA Cup matches and Carabao Cup matches.

We did go out to win them, which is why we reached the stage we did.

We just didn't play well enough versus Lincoln, which happens in football.

Honestly I would rather we sacked the entire thing off.

I don't have any great desire to play any of the teams (we never beat you and do better out of you than we do out of Fleetwood - one of the very few perks of relegation was 12 months off having to contend with either) and feel profoundly patronised still by the U21 nonsense so don't give a toss about who the 4th team in the group is.

However I know perfectly well that no club is going to make that stand and refuse to participate. At least this draw guarantees it will be done as swiftly as possible.

Although watching us very comfortably deal with Saido Berahino was funny last season, I will admit.
