It was once the highlight of the lower league calendar, but since the EFL introduced U21 sides into the competition it has become a lame duck. An absolute disgrace.

I have absolutely no interest in Wednesday's match whatsoever. I'd rather spend 90 minutes listening to Bonce talk me through his slipper collection.

Do you care about this game?

No (and yes!).

I agree it has no interest for me but it would be nice for the club to have a day out at Wembley - and it would be good to actually win something - even this Micky Mouse Cup.

I always want the club to win, no matter what, I guess.

So for me personally - no interest...

...for me as a life long Bolton fan - a win please and a day out at Wembley for the fans.

Little to no interest for me. Let the kids have a go instead of sacrificing league points and jeopardizing a potential playoff spot. I’m not happy with Evatt after his Wycombe blunders.

What a miserable lot you are. We’re in the semi final of a competition with a potential Wembley visit so how can you not be at least interested in that? Clearly you’re out of step with the majority as the 2,800 Accy tickets sold out in an hour and that’s on top of those fans getting tickets in the home end. I know it’s not the FA or League cup but come on, it’s a competition and we can win it so back off the snobbery that the cups below us and embrace the fact that our clubs here at all and can actually win something, which is great for the owners, great for “real” fans and brilliant for the players who may never get another chance to play there. Cheer up guys 🤗😉

It brings some publicity and raises the status of the club - albeit only slightly - ever little bit helps. As far as attracting new players and whatever windfall is involved. So may as well go ahead and win the dam thing now IMO.

It's called having morals. I am against this competition because it is the first step towards Premier League clubs having B-teams in the Football League pyramid. I'm not going against my principles just to have a day out in Accrington or London.

That’s fair enough Nat. I don’t think any of us are exactly happy with PL teams being involved, it seems to completely go against the spirit and whole point of the competition but it is what it is and so until it changes, if it does, I’ll just have to suck it up and support my team. 😉

I'm up for the cup.. Just about to order my match pass on sky!

The involvement of PL teams doesn't diminish the competition in my eyes. We still have to beat all the EFL clubs in addition to the PL clubs.

Its a good competition for us to have a cup run and a realistic chance at silverware by beating teams on our own level. A league one team is never going to win the FA Cup.

This is our cup. And we are in with a chance of winning it. Get behind us you bell ends !

Bolton Wanderers left it late to book a Wembley date with Plymouth Argyle in the Papa Johns Trophy Final.

Wanderers overcame Accrington Stanley 2-0 at the Wham Stadium after the hosts were forced to play more than an hour with ten men after Sean McConville's early red card.

Bolton players celebrate with goalscorer Elias Kachunga

Elias Kachunga and Aaron Morley struck in the closing stages to decide the semi-final for the 1989 winners.

100 years on from their first, Bolton booked their 14th Wembley showpiece, while Stanley's wait to visit the national stadium goes on.

Wanderers meeting with Argyle - shootout winners against Cheltenham Town on Tuesday - on Sunday, 2 April will be their first at Wembley since 2011 when they were humbled 5-0 by Stoke City in their FA Cup semi-final.

Bolton keeper James Trafford held an early strike from McConville while Lukas Jensen denied 17-goal Dion Charles with his leg when clean through at the other end.

McConville received a straight red card on 22 minutes after a knee-high challenge on Conor Bradley - the sixth red card of the 33-year-old's career on his 425th Stanley appearance.

Aaron Pressley and Liam Coyle were also booked for fouls on Bradley, with Coyle's yellow card his 16th of the season.

Bradley saw a shot blocked and fired another effort off-target as Bolton pressed, while Kachunga slid the ball wide and Josh Sheehan fired over before the interval.

On-loan Manchester City and England Under-21 keeper Trafford raced out of his area and collided with Coyle on 50 minutes, earning himself a caution, while Coyle fell awkwardly and left on a stretcher after an eight-minute stoppage.

Charles had a goal chalked off for offside just before the hour and Kieran Lee clipped a close-range effort past the post with the goal at his mercy moments later.

In the space of four seconds Charles thudded the post, Jensen instinctively denied Declan John's follow-up, and then Charles rattled the bar from the rebound as the Reds goal led a charmed life.

The breakthrough eventually came eight minutes from time when Kachunga pounced on a slip from Rosaire Longelo in the box to lash high past Jensen and send the travelling army of Bolton fans wild.

The result was put beyond doubt two minutes later when Morley superbly fired in off the post from 20 yards after Stanley had only half-cleared their lines.

Trafford denied Pressley in the closing stages but Bolton kept their 12th clean sheet in 16 matches.

Along with Accrington, Hartlepool and Crawley are the only other EFL clubs never to have played at Wembley.
