With the draw being made tomorrow around 12:30pm on Sky Sports News who would you like us to play in the second Round. Teams in the draw: Aston Villa Blackburn Rovers Bolton Wanderers Everton Fulham Norwich City Queens Park Rangers Reading Southampton Stoke City Sunderland Swansea City West Bromwich Albion West Ham United Wigan Athletic Barnsley Birmingham City Bradford City Burnley Burton Albion Carlisle United Coventry City Crystal Palace Doncaster Rovers Crawley Town Crewe Alexandra Gillingham Ipswich Town Middlesbrough Morecambe Leeds United Leicester City Leyton Orient Milton Keynes Dons Northampton Town Nottingham Forest Oxford United Peterborough United Plymouth Argyle Preston North End Scunthorpe United Sheffield Wednesday Stevenage Swindon Town Tranmere Rovers Wolverhampton Wanderers Walsall Watford Yeovil Town I would Like us to Play Sheffield Wednesday or Everton, what about you guys?
Agreed, we've got the Bolton game a few days after the 2nd Round, so I'd say give us the lowest ranked team possible away from home and let the players that aren't in the first team try and stake a claim for a place.
Walsall away, Leicester away, Northampton away, because they're the games I can get to the easiest. My best mate from uni is a Walsall fan and he never forgave me for Barmby's record breaking goal ("I never thought that kick off would ever work..."). Apparently he was still munching a pie and looking at the program while the goal went in.
Fairly certain I read somewhere that it's still seeded in which case we are just about in the better side of the draw.
You're right. According to the Carlisle website these are the unseeded teams, and therefore the teams we could be playing: Peterborough United - 18th Champ Nottingham Forest - 19th Champ Barnsley - 21st Champ Coventry City - 23rd Champ Doncaster Rovers - 24th Champ Sheffield Wednesday - 2nd L1 MK Dons - 5th L1 Stevenage - 6th L1 Carlisle United - 8th L1 Tranmere Rovers - 12th L1 Preston North End - 15th L1 Yeovil Town - 17th L1 Scunthorpe United - 18th L1 Walsall - 19th L1 Leyton Orient - 20th L1 Swindon Town - 1st L2 Crawley Town - 3rd L2 Crewe Alexandra - 7th L2 Gillingham - 8th L2 Oxford United - 9th L2 Morecambe - 15th L2 Burton Albion - 17th L2 Bradford City - 18th L2 Northampton Town - 20th L2 Plymouth Argyle - 21st L2
I would like it to be a ground we haven't played at, and preferably not to far. Stevenage would be the best.
i'd rather bomb out of it early and concentrate on the league instead of some piss pot cup no-one cares about..
From that list Bradford, it's local and we can bung in a few of the kids(though Bruce has said he'll always play his best available team).
I'm with you ..................we couldn't win it but we could get a fixture pile up and unnecessary injuries. Stuff mickey mouse cups!
Bradford at home or away, nice local game. Might be a 'Mickey Mouse' cup, but i'd love us to have a serious cup run sometime soon.
