Carabao Cup draw

[Manorlounger]

Brentford 1 up at the moment.
Sky commentators are making the usual a**e licking comments about Wycombe. Fairy tale stuff, low budget etc etc. Makes you sick.

 

[ZeroTheHero]

I'm watching it as well. I don't want Wycombe to do well at all in anything,and would like Baptiste to do OK in his career. Both of those mean I should want Brentford to win. But I really cannot stand Toney - he is a whinging little diver who has far too high an opinion of himself, and Fosu just used us as a stepping stone.

I hope they both lose!

 

[Johnf]

First red card of many for Wycombe I think ?

 

[RgYellows]

Since going down to ten they have certainly started to kill the game and take their time on restarts. I did not think they were outclassed in the first half but this is a lot more like the Wycombe I know.

 

[Barbadosyellow]

Home to Watford. Great draw.

 

[BigCrompy]

I’d go for Cambridge at home. Winnable, one of the most winnable in fact, and a chance of being televised if they go the whole stupid university rivalry route they seem to love

You got it!

Albeit, away, and only when we smash Watford first.

 

[Barbadosyellow]

Followed by Newport or Cambridge away if we get through to Round 3

 

[OUFC94]

Home to Watford. Great draw.

And if we get through that we have Newport or Cambridge away

 

[QR]

Home to Watford. Great draw.

Wouldn't say great. There's worse and there's better.

It's an OK draw. We haven't played Watford for more than twenty years, so there's a novelty factor if nothing else!

Winnable, although I assume they've kept the bulk of their Premiership squad, so if they take it seriously, will not be easy.

But if we do win it, path has opened up for Round 4.......

 

[holdsteady]

No draw is particularly great at the moment, can’t attend and no real money in the competition. Plus side is I doubt we will play anything like Watfords first team so could well get through, can’t imagine Watford will care about the league cup at all this season, they never cared when they were in the prem and only had 38 league games, with 46 and the importance of getting promoted back to the money league we will be playing the reserves.

....,with 46 and the importance of getting promoted back to the money league we will be playing the reserves.

Let's hope so

Yeah round 4. Are annual date with Manchester City. Pep and pals Yipee ?

 

[NottsYellow]

And if we get through that we have Newport or Cambridge away

Will we play in the yellow or orange kit?

 

[Belgium Yellow]

Not a great draw, would rather something easier if we can't attend. But they should be beatable since they won't see it as a priority.

One for the older fans - it was Watford at home when the London Road wall collapsed wasn’t it?

It was ... both teams in 'changed' kit ... my younger sister was sat on the LR end wall when it went, ( & no, she was about 8 yo at the time), the one and only time my ol' man let her go 'in' London Road end

 

[Oxford57]

Won the replay 2-1

Don`t mention the floodlight failure(s)............. or the faulty pool table in the pub which ended up being the least of their worries.....

Mentioning floodlights and as an aside. Was it Leicester whose fan jumped off the Cuckoo Lane floodlight or did I imagine that?
