English Sky Bet EFL Cup First Round

We had the first round of the Sky Bet EFL League Cup played this week and we had 31 of our English teams playing in this round. But the bad news is that about 50% of them have failed to make it through to the next round.
ACCRINGTON STANLEY drew their games against BRADFORD 0-0 at home. Now there are no replays this season so it went to penalties, which do not count in this competition and thank god for that as Accrington won 11-10 on penalties. Accrington picked up their first blank of the season while Bradford have still yet to score in both of their games played this season.
COLCHESTER also picked up their first blank score sheet as they lost 4-0 away to BRIGHTON. Brighton picked up their first goals of the season after they failed to score in their first league match. SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY go out as they lost 2-1 away to Cambridge but It did give them goals number two. PORT VALE also lost on the same score line 2-1 with Carlisle away. Port vale score their first goal of the new season. Two games and two blank score sheets for CHARLTON as they are now out of the cup as they lost just 1-0 away to Cheltenham.
