Rochdale got the job done 2-1 on penalties over Tranmere Rovers in their Carabao Cup preliminary round game after they finished level at 2-2 at the end of regulation time.
I'll miss the opening big Tuesday night sessions but it's smarter to get round 1 in before the league season. There's a week before opening so they may just play stronger teams instead of resting 3 days after the league opener. It's only a matter of days but clearing the schedule out for the eliminated teams already drops the match total.
