Jordan Paterson:, external Scrap the Football League Trophy & make the League Cup only for Football League clubs (Championship, L1 & L2 clubs)

Rob Sayer:, external I quite like the League Cup as it is, new faces to watch, lots of cupsets, big scorelines and penalty shoot-outs galore!

Samuel Cole: , externalWhy not have the League Cup winners face the FA Cup winners for a place in the Champions League?

Andros Townsend has another shot, but again it's wide from 20 yards. Forest facing a continuous wall of attacks...

Chelsea continue to fire in efforts and this time it's youngster Nathan Ake who is unlucky! The 19-year old drives in a shot from 30 yards which Andy Lonergan again does well to save. Top, top goalkeeping from the former Preston man.

Spurs defender Federico Fazio steps out of defence and lashes in a rising effort from 30 yards, a really well-hit strike, but it just clears the goal. Lovely stuff.

Burnley defender, and BBC summariser, Steven Reid: "Manchester City seem content to be held at arm's length by Wednesday at the moment. Yaya Toure is playing deep and can push further forward if he wants to, but he seems reluctant to do that. There's only James Milner who is playing with pace and tempo. City need to step it up."

The penalty looked a bit soft but Dwight Gayle doesn't care, slotting in low and hard.

Denzel Shines: There will be definite questions raised about Mauricio Pochettino's continued tenure at Spurs if he loses tonight....

Spurs midfielder Benjamin Stambouli leaves Forest forward Lars Veldwijk on the turf with a swinging elbow - but it was entirely accidental and everyone is soon back up on their feet. Andros Townsend then flashes a shot over again, he's not afraid of having a dig.

David in Bournemouth: It doesn't matter what you call it. Make everyone play with mallets on unicycles. That would make it more popular surely?

James, Slough: Best idea for the league cup: scrap it. Less games no one cares about, chance for a winter break. Simple.

Big Nige: Call it the Rumbelows Cup. Old romantics like me will come flocking.

Allan Morris, Manchester: My idea of royalty is someone who was the best manager England never had. Should be called the Brian Clough Cup.

Well then! Bolton have been hammered so far, Chelsea have had a glut of chances, but they can't defend a good set-piece into the box and Matt Mills heads home.

David Sinclair: , externalHow about promoting a non-league cup instead of the League Cup, something a bit different.

Maybe call it the FA Trophy?

Andros Townsend lets fly with a humdinger, a real daisy-cutter from 25 yards! Hard and low, and just wide. It's opening up at the Lane.
