So back to the Carling Cup. Would like to get Swindon. According to Di Canio it's the same as playing barcelona!
Swindon would be a tough draw as it's too early in the Cup for NA to put out a stronger side. After the last match, the interviewer suggested that Stevenage looked a better side than Saints in the first half. Nigel's face was a picture...there was no way he would agree with that! They had possession he was all he was willing to concede.
Hmmm here's my hopes from the list of teams: 1. Arsenal - no thanks 2. Aston Villa - no thanks 3. Bradford City - third choice 4. Burnley - third choice 5. Burton Albion - top choice 6. Carlisle United - third choice 7. Chelsea - no thanks 8. Coventry City - second choice 9. Crawley Town - second choice 10. Doncaster Rovers - second choice 11. Everton - no thanks 12. Leeds United - no thanks 13. Liverpool - no thanks 14. Manchester City - no thanks 15. Manchester United - no thanks 16. Middlesbrough - no thanks 17. Milton Keynes Dons - no thanks 18. Newcastle United - no thanks 19. Norwich City - no thanks 20. Preston North End - second choice 21. Queens Park Rangers - no thanks 22. Reading - no thanks 23. Sheffield Wednesday - second choice 24. Southampton - haha 25. Sunderland - no thanks 26. Swansea City - no thanks 27. Swindon Town - no thanks 28. Tottenham Hotspur - no thanks 29. West Bromwich Albion - no thanks 30. West Ham United - no thanks 31. Wigan Athletic - no thanks 32. Northampton Town/Wolverhampton Wanderers - top choice Want Adkins to play development squad players some more.
Now Man Utd v Newcastle Utd! Man City v Aston Villa MK Dons v Sunderland WBA v Liverpool Crawley v Swansea QPR v Reading Norwich v Doncaster Bradford v Burton Preston v Middlesborough Arsenal v Coventry Saints v Sheff Wed Chelsea v Wolves Carlisle v Spurs Swindon v Burnley WHU v Wigan Leeds v Everton
Winnable. We need these games to keep confidence up and Nige will want to play a strongish side at SMS.
Little known fact: Sheffield Wednesday are the only professional team in the English league with a day of the week in their name.
Sandwiched between Villa at home on 23rd and Everton away on 28th. Still a chance for some development lads.
