Match Day Thread EFL Cup 1st Round Franchise v Chairboys 8th Aug 23

BRANDON BREAKS THE DEADLOCK!
0-1 | #Chairboys

 

Forino makes it 2-0

 

Much better 2nd half

 

Had to close the lid to eat dinner. Opened it and we are 2-0 up

 

When is the draw for round 2. Plus, when were we last in round 2?

 

3 mins is not the answer to Q2

 

If not a glamour tie then a winnable one. Hope we put out a strong team and go for it.
When is it?

 

Dates of all matches to be confirmed. The second-round ties will be played in the week commencing August 28

 

After what looked a good performance on Tuesday night, if you can not get a league team at home then a league 2 team at home is the next best draw, you certainly didn't want a league 1 side home or away

 

Sutton knocked out a League 1 side

 

It was last year we got to the third round & played Man City away scored first then lost 6-1

 

Have we played them since they became a league side, I seem to remember playing an FA Cup game at Sutton a few years back.

 

I can remember playing them when we were non league (amateurs in fact) but that's about it. I think they were in the Athenian League when we were in the Isthmian League. Or did they get into the Isthmian League?

 

Of course how could I forget. We got them angry with an early goal.

 

I was ecstatic for a few minutes

 

I remember playing them in The Isthmian League in the 1970s and always enjoyed my visits to Gander Green Lane their fans were friendly and they had a cracking club under the main stand where away fans were welcome.

 

& three of our best players of the Brian Lee era came from Sutton
