League Cup Second Round Draw

[1973Blade]

I refuse to call it it's latest sponsor name! The draw is after tonight's game between Sunderland and Bury. As I understand it the draw is split between seeded and unseeded teams, with us being unseeded. Therefore we should play a Premier League or top half of Championship club. A night match at Newcastle would be the best one for us in my opinion. A chance to beat a weakened Toon side!

You mean it isn't the coca cola cup anymore?

 

[Damski]

We could end up playing Them Lot.

Be good to get a nice easy draw

Gut feeling about Newcastle away.

Manure away would be better. Make some dosh, get knocked out and focus on the league. Win win, worked last year but minus the dosh.

They aren't in it yet, due to being in Europe (the cup competitions not the 80s rock group).

 

[bromtom]

Teams involved in European football aren't included I don't think. I'll say Southampton.

 

[Torrix1889]

Rumbelows

Oh OK then. Beat the pigs in 2nd round just to keep things ticking over then play 'em and get knocked out in 3rd round.

We can only draw northern teams at this stage so no chance of Southampton but every chance of a trip to Hillsborough.

 

[Superblades]

Pigs at home I'm going for.

 

[raimond]

My money's on Walsall again

Bah. Thought so.

Newcastle or the Pigs then.

Naahh, Southampton didn't qualify for Europe mate

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Gonna settle down to watch it tonight with a nice pint of Worthington's.

 

[SwissBlade]

Hartlepool away in the calling cup

Leeds at home in the Coca Cola

Oldham away in the ZDS

Lot of criteria innit... I'll say Wendy at home or Newcastle away

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

We haven't played Wednesday in a cup match since 1st November 2000.

I'm a bit thick, so tell me, if it's split into 2, seeded and unseeded, how do they decide the team that gets home advantage. Because in a normal cup draw the team out 1st are at home.

It's gotta be pigs. Hasn't it?

They pick out the team. Then a H or A. Then the opposition.

Call me old fashioned, but can't they just put all the teams in a hat and you get what you are given.

 

[Liverpool blade]

I thought it was still the rumbelows cup!!.

 

[mattbianco1]

I thought it was still the rumbelows cup!!.

No. That name died the year they won it.

I agree. But if they're seeding it then they kinda have to otherwise which team do they draw first, a seeded or non-seeded?

I liked it better when you could see your path to the final. Like the world cup or tennis etc.

 

[8lade]

Seeded: Southampton, AFC Bournemouth, West Bromwich Albion, West Ham United, Leicester City, Stoke City, Crystal Palace, Swansea City, Burnley, Watford, Hull City, Middlesbrough, Newcastle, Brighton, Reading, Sheffield Wednesday, Huddersfield Town, Fulham, Norwich City, Brentford, Cardiff City, Aston Villa, Leeds United, Sunderland (if they beat Bury), Derby County/Grimsby Town

I'm gonna plump for West Ham, just for a laugh
