Amazingly 21 Championship teams are already out of the competition.
Only 2 teams ( Burnley & Blackburn) are through. This could rise to three if Bristol City win at Wycombe later tonight.

Of the 21 teams already out by round 2 :

2 have lost to Premiership teams
4 have lost to fellow Championship teams
11 have lost to league 1 teams
4 have lost to league 2 teams

Is this because anyone can beat anyone on a given day or is it simply that Championship teams rotate their squads to give playing time to others who might not get a game in the league with the emphasis on game time as opposed to result?
I think this trophy only becomes important to Championship teams at last 16 or even last 8 stage, in the same way as many lower league teams regard the trophy we won last season.

In bygone years top teams played their full teams in this competition ( remember Arsenal at Millmoor in 1978) whereas now very few, which is not great for the fans of lower league clubs, who pay top dollar for the privilege but end up seeing effectively a reserve team in opposition?

Is it time that the League Cup was kicked into touch?
