Appears the draw is pre-determined for the next rounds.
We'll be playing at home against the winner of Fulham and Nottingham Forest in the quarter-final - I'd guess this would also be played at the Madejski Stadium also.
The winners of that would play at home against the winners of Sunderland/Wolves vs West Ham in the semi-final. It appears we'd be away if we got to the final.

Get into supporting the u21s in this exercise, wish the club would provide live streams for the games.

The Cube And another thing, which will no doubt crop up sooner or later. The top 16 U21 sides qualify for the EFL Trophy. However, there is a rule that says U21 sides of clubs in Leagues 1 or 2 are excluded.
So we don't get to enter twice, and presumably 17th-placed Southampton get a place instead.

I posted that info last Tuesday with the draw and dates through to the final.
The Cube The system for the knock-out includes the sentence "These will be one-off elimination matches with the higher-seeded team at home." So we only get a quarter-final home game if Nottingham Forest beat Fulham on Monday evening.
Unfortunately, this aspect of the draw got missed by a lot of people, including me first time round.

Sorry.

I read that to mean for the Round of 16, but not for latter rounds. I'd still be interested if we had to travel to Fulham - as long as it's not played nowhere near Fulham's ground (like Tottenham usually playing at Stevenage) and at a reasonable time.
I believe Arsenal are hosting Chelsea in the next round, but Chelsea finished higher up the league. Not sure if that's officially confirmed though.

What's the opinion on Akande, he seems to be one player that never gets anywhere near the first team yet the club could do with options in that area.

SCIAG I was sat within earshot of Mr. Carson yesterday.
Apparently Selles’ plan for the left back spot is to make a senior signing, then have Mola covering both full back positions and Dorsett covering both left back and centre back. Seems sensible to me.
Mr. Carson thought if Matty could be a bit less rash then he’d be first team material. Personally I still don’t think he offers enough defensively but his delivery is top-notch, would definitely offer more than Dorsett going forward.SutekhRoyals and Racers 2-0 74 mins Akande

First half I thought he was industrious but lacked a cutting edge.
Second half obviously that changed! Took both goals very well, they were difficult chances.
Not sure how confident I’d feel about him stepping up, would probably prefer Jahmari.
Wellens probably the player who looked closest - think he’s a better option in the middle than Rushesha.

I think we have to accept Jahmari isn’t going to make it here at this point and cut losses.
He never looked convincing in his first team appearances and that brace does flatter his actual performances. Since then he's basically made no apparent progress and been overtaken by Ehibhatiomhan, Vickers and Wareham.
On Carson, I really want him to succeed, but as you say, he's weak defensively and despite being fairly stocky he just got bullied on the pitch and looked scared in front of an away crowd. Given he got not time at the end of the season it seems very unlikely he's in first team plans.
However, if we went with a back 3, then he could actually have some promise as a solution on the left flank, providing we didn’t just leave our wing backs one on two all the time. Not something I see us doing with Azeez at the club, but not the worst option if he goes.
