Paint pot DAF lacking in Virtu Trophy

I see we've drawn Chesterfield and Burton in this 'competition'. Hardly local, are they? However, don't necessarily want to play the same teams year in year out.
I know a lot of people like to give this competition a miss but my decision on whether to attend will depend on the management's attitude to the competition. I didn't mind seeing the youngsters control the game against Harrogate and it was a stronger team against Liverpool (even though the 'pool put out a very young team). However in the previous year, no attempt was made to compete and I don't want to waste my money travelling from Manchester

And Liverpool make up the group. Will they send another team likely to be thrashed 5-1 (last season we couldn't score goals for love nor money and still put 5 past Davies(who has gone to Crawley, incidentally)) or will we see squad numbers lower than 80 this time?
