Match Day Thread LUTON TOWN v NORWICH CITY CARABAO CUP (EFL CUP) SAT 5 SEPTEMBER 2020, 15:00 hrs

1st proper game.
Let's start with a win
No draw in poll,as there has to be a winner.

 

*CAPS LOCK ALERT*

 

Oh - I did not realise they were starting the season this week. A potential banana skin as it's away (it was a banana skin at home last time ) Let's hope for a convincing victory to get the confidence flowing once again, both on and off the pitch.

 

The lack of first team players due to international duty is a blessing and a curse. Lose a tricky away game and we can blame the number of absentees, but a win with some fringe players impressing would be great for confidence. It's a shame we can't continue to craft our first team into a cohesive unit though.

Hope we get through the game without any defensive injuries, a solid platform at the back this season would be a big bonus.

 

Finland v Wales tomorrow

 

And the point is ????

 

We have a guy that plays for Finland

 

Error

 

I know,but is he playing on Sat for us?

 

Bulgaria v Ireland today

 

So what !!!!

 

A certain 18 year old may make an appearance

 

FFS DD let it go

 

I wonder how seriously DF will take this competition?

 

He doesn't have much choice this weekend! I think given the depth of the squad at the moment, there's going to be plenty of senior players missing out on league games, who will be using the cup to impress, but with a couple of youngsters given time too.

Looking beyond this weekend, in whichever cups we're still in, you could imagine the following side playing, which potentially contains no first team players:

McGovern
Byram Klose Zimmerman Quintilla
Sorensen Vrancic
Martin Stiepermann Placheta
Idah

Although international duty clashing with cups in future weeks might throw a spanner in the works.

 

Idah and Pukki both start

 

Well that was short lived.

 

I honestly don't get why you are so anal about comments not exclusively about the league Cup on this thread .

It's pointless starting threads every 5 minutes and most fans are interested in how our players get on for their countries.

Whatever floats your boat though

 

Anal ?? What the **** does that mean.
Strange,but I thought a Matchday Thread was for specific matches on specific days.
You obviously believe otherwise.
If threads are to mean anything,surely some sort of common sense must prevail.
As you obviously don't give a toss,help yourself and post what you like,where you like.
No surprise there are fewer and fewer posters on here.
