randombc Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Bit boring, but quite a few positives. At home, get a decent crowd (more cheap tickets), and we should win. 5 all premier league ties as well. 6 are out already so there will only be 9 (at most) left for the last 16. b4 might be right. Was my thoughts aswell, a lot of matches being played by teams in similar leagues, there will still be teams like MK Dons/ Bradford progressing so you can find yourself progressing quite far in this competition without having to play anyone that difficult. Can bet the ticket prices will be cheap once more and hopefully get another decent crowd and like McClaren said, use this match to try and bleed 2 or 3 more youngsters in.

-JW- Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 If they defend how they did against forest then we should win 14-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeanorRam94 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Pleased with this draw. No point playing a prem team at this stage of the competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North_Stand_Ram Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 With 5 all Prem ties and 5 Prem sides knocked out in the previous round, a win would put us in pretty good stead in the competition. In line for one of the big 5 (all at home and with winnable ties, 4 with championship teams) or for a good cup run, with 6 ties not involving a Prem side!

Uptherams Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 The big one cam and will come after this. If any big teams are left. Anything to say Man U? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peakram Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Good draw with a view to going further, home to a team who aren't as strong as they were last season (not sure how seriously they are taking the comp) - suppose we will field a similar line-up to the last round looking at the fixture list ahead.

ladyram Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 God. I wish some of you lot had the balls to want a prem team just for a change. Words like lower league Shrewsbury Burton Soddin Bradford BORIIIN. Why can't we go for the jugular just once and have a Top half Prem team put us to a tough test? He who dares Rodders..

peakram Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Cos we want to win the whole thing so best to let them knock themselves out, no point in a glorious defeat at this stage, we will tackle them down the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcsilks Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Not sure I understand all of this talk about how are chances are improved with many Premiership sides out of the competition. They play such under strength teams (Man City being the exception), I would fancy any Championship side against a reserve Premiership side. Bradford, Sunderland, Cardiff and Birmingham have all featured in the final in the last 4 seasons. Hardly big clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly big clubs. 14 clubs in the prem are too worried about relegation to bother with the League Cup. The other 6 just want to qualify for the Champions League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peakram Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Cant understand their mentality really, surely the idea of a football club is to win trophies, not finish just below halfway in the Premiership, no one will remember that in 25 years time I doubt. Its not as if fielding a full team will definitely mean certain defeat on the Saturday is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
