Posted August 14, 201212 yr I can't see a thread for this, so I thought we needed one! Several games have already been played, but the majority of them are happening right now! League Cup 1st Round Draw Derby County v Scunthorpe United Rochdale v Barnsley Port Vale v Burnley Notts County v Bradford City Hull City v Rotherham United Fleetwood Town v Nottingham Forest Carlisle United v Accrington Stanley Doncaster Rovers v York City Crewe Alexandra v Hartlepool United Bury v Middlesbrough Chesterfield v Tranmere Rovers Sheffield United v Burton Albion Blackpool v Morecambe Leeds United v Shrewsbury Town Preston North End v Huddersfield Town Oldham Athletic v Sheffield Wednesday Cheltenham Town v Milton Keynes Dons Ipswich Town v Bristol Rovers Stevenage v AFC Wimbledon Exeter City v Crystal Palace Yeovil Town v Colchester United Birmingham City v Barnet Bristol City v Gillingham Northampton Town v Cardiff City Plymouth Argyle v Portsmouth Wolverhampton Wanderers v Aldershot Town Walsall v Brentford Millwall v Crawley Town Torquay United v Leicester City Dagenham & Redbridge v Coventry City Peterborough United v Southend United Swindon Town v Brighton & Hove Albion Watford v Wycombe Wanderers Charlton Athletic v Leyton Orient Oxford United v AFC Bournemouth
August 14, 201212 yr Author So so happy to see my team Derby 3-0 up at half time against Scunthorpe!! I hope we can keep it up for the 2nd half! :cheer:
August 14, 201212 yr The CoC Cup HA York got knocked out at the weekend so I have no interest in this until the 3rd round.
August 14, 201212 yr Author Derby have managed to surrender a 3-0 and 4-1 lead and it finished 5-5! Extra time here we come...
August 14, 201212 yr 5 conceded from 7 shots on target, all 5 goals assisted from one player and at least three from free-kicks and corners, not the most ominous of displays!
August 14, 201212 yr Gutted I never put my usual over 3 goals coupon on, it's been a goals galore all over today!
August 14, 201212 yr Peterborough won 4-0, solid start to the season. Didn't go though, too expensive for a pointless cup game that will eventually not mean anything when we just get knocked out away to another Championship club in the next round :lol:
August 15, 201212 yr utterly appalling game for bristol city. we made gillingham look like arsenal until 10 minutes from time. there was no pace up frot, no solidity in the backline and to top it all the players didnt even look that bothered at the end. really worried for the start of the season now, especially if adomah leaves. To even stasnd a chance of staying up we could do with lita, baldock and either mcmanus or amougou. lansdown give the football club some money instead of using it for the rugby club. time to pull your chequebook out mr lansdown
August 19, 201212 yr Second round draw: - Preston North End v Crystal Palace Watford v Bradford City Swansea City v Barnsley Yeovil Town v West Bromwich Albion Coventry City v Birmingham City West Ham United v Crewe Alexandra Doncaster Rovers v Hull City Carlisle United v Ipswich Town Reading v Peterborough United Sheffield Wednesday v Fulham Leicester City v Burton Albion Burnley v Plymouth Argyle QPR v Walsall Stevenage v Southampton Nottingham Forest v Wigan Athletic Stoke City v Swindon Town Aston Villa v Tranmere Rovers Crawley Town v Bolton Wanderers Gillingham v Middlesbrough Northampton Town v Wolverhampton Wanderers Everton v Leyton Orient MK Dons v Blackburn Rovers Leeds United v Oxford United Sunderland v Morecambe Norwich City v Scunthorpe United Carlisle have made it through, pity it isn't being played at Ipswich. Could have gone down there.
August 19, 201212 yr Only just realised the next round had been drawn. As expected Posh are away in round 2 and will go out :lol: Pointless.
August 20, 201212 yr Only just realised the next round had been drawn. As expected Posh are away in round 2 and will go out :lol: Pointless. Confident, then? :lol: We've got Morecambe at home, on paper a straightforward enough draw but then we did get beaten at home by Notts County in the FA Cup a couple of seasons back, so who knows. I would say O'Neill will probably give the fringe players a go but our starting XI is bad enough without resting people :mellow:
August 29, 201212 yr I would say O'Neill will probably give the fringe players a go but our starting XI is bad enough without resting people :mellow: Looked bloody strong - although also looked like a 2-7-1 formation!
August 29, 201212 yr Not a bad performance, Allardyce rested a lot of players and a couple of the youngsters shone. Jordan Spence finally looks like he might amount to something and Diarra is class. Having Maiga as a third attacking option with Cole and Vaz Te helps as well.
August 29, 201212 yr Watching our game last night it's so easy to see how Wigan have won so many games since adopting the wing-back system. The space they create and the way they move the ball about is incredible, even their second string. It's so hard to play against and is like playing against 12-13 men all the time, very impressed.
August 29, 201212 yr Everton 5 Leyton Orient 0 I stand by my prediction before the season started that Everton should hopefully finish top 6, fantastic start to the season for them!
August 31, 201212 yr 3rd round draw. What a big tie for Carlisle. :w00t: Man Utd v Newcastle Man City v Aston Villa MK Dons v Sunderland West Brom v Liverpool Crawley v Swansea QPR v Reading Norwich v Doncaster Bradford v Burton Preston v Middlesbrough Arsenal v Coventry Southampton v Sheff Wed Chelsea v Wolves Carlisle v Tottenham Swindon v Burnley West Ham v Wigan Leeds v Everton
August 31, 201212 yr Looked bloody strong - although also looked like a 2-7-1 formation! Aye, wasn't a bad lineup all things considered. Comfortable win in the end, McClean and Johnson looked absolutely immense (albeit against lower league opposition), Fletcher didn't look match fit but that'll come when he starts getting games consistently. Pleased to be in the next round, got a tricky tie away at MK Dons to come. Really hope we can go on a decent run in at least one of the cups this season.
August 31, 201212 yr Ok so Taylor did go to Ipswich in the end then :lol: Interested to see how he does considering all summer we've been hearing how the likes of Fulham/West Brom wanted him when they clearly didn't =D EDIT - Wrong topic, oh wellz.
