The reason it is done like this is because it IS a competitive match unlike reserve matches and is against a first team opposition ... I do get where you are coming from though and I'm open to swaying on this (at present it treats such matches like full matches and the reserves get higher learning experience from them than they do from a normal reserve match, same as if you allowed them to play in say the League Cup as cover for the first team resting etc.).

But I still think that reserve matches should be sparated from first team matches. And they ARE separated from in reality. I think no one will acknowledge a Checkatrade Trophy match of a reserve player as a first team experience though it IS a competitive match unlike reserve matches.

When a player plays in a cup match for reserve team, it is added to his first team history - it's impossible to distinguish if he played for the first team or not. It should not be added to first team history like players in spanish reserve teams.
