The home draw got me thinking about our absurd run of away draws in the cup; I actually went into my spreadsheet at the weekend and added in all the cup draws (no replays) since we returned to the Championship following our highly successful one year foray back into the PL.

Turns out, over that time span - the home/away draws are one away from being exactly 50/50. Prior to this current run of the vast majority of games being Away draws we went on an equally improbably run of all our draws being Home games. 

I guess it just shows that getting lots of away games in a row is just more noticeable. 

PS. In that time we've drawn Man United 6 times. Played against them 7. Bit weird, that.

Not true. It's still a 3pm kick off. It's just on Sunday now. ?

They're all midweek, it's a midweek round.

Didn’t realise that, I work nights during the week and only have my son at weekends, plus living away from Derby so would have been nice if it was a weekend game and get my lad down for it

League Cup semi over 2 legs?

We do seem to play man u in the cups a disproportionate amount though, what are the odds.....
