I imagine there is a good chance it will be the reserves playing against Rotherhams reserves. Both sides potentially saving players for the league.

Sorry ... I misread the URL ... whoops.
You are indeed correct.
No ABBA .

A game neither club will particularly want to win.

Personally I'd scrap the competition, it's had its day and is an unnecessary burden on the overcrowded English football calendar.
