[SeaSeeEffCee]

Dull draw.

Game to be played on the w/c August 8th.

Don’t think they’ll improve over this summer, so I’m expecting 3 points.

 

[SBchimp]

WW thats just amazzzzzzzzzzz..........

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

They should make these the first game of the season

 

[Saddlebrains]

Pants tournament where we have a pants record and always play a pants 11

Its a no from me

 

[Kingokings204]

I hate inter league cup matches. Just don’t get the point. So boring and even worse when neither side will care

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Don't mind that draw to be honest. Home game, winnable (if we want it). Much prefer it to a game like Norwich away (which Blues got). No travel for team, or fans, so less disruptive. Sooner play a team that will bring a few fans than against a lower league side where there is no atmosphere. I know no-one likes the competition, but we should still get an 8k attendance (first entry in guess the crowd), which will bring in a few quid.

Agree - it would help with attendances.

You’d hope Palmer would be up for it at least.

No-one really cares about the League Cup nowadays, it's nothing more than Just an extra game or two onto the calendar. Although I suppose it helps early season fitness. But I couldn't even tell you who won it last season. It's just such a bland competition.

Liverpool won it, we were knock out by Northampton last season, i would love to win it one of the domestic cups we haven't won...PUSB

Tbf, I hate the league cup, almost solely because of Steve Hodge pushing the wall out of the way when Forest scored a free-kick in the semis however many years ago.

You'd hope he wouldn't be playing as we always put out a second string XI.

Expecting Palmer to be starting the season as part of our strongest XI and not our Carabao XI.

Team prediction:

Wilson
G Burroughs Rose McGrath
J Burroughs Eccles Rus Howley Reid
Walker Tavares

I’ll take that

 

[SBchimp]

I’ll take that

Although that right side might spend half the game arguing

This is a good idea.
Doubt I'm going to go up to this one, but definitely would if this was the first home game of the season

It’s already the case in Scotland I think with another cup none of the sides up there are bothered about.

So boring, let's be honest.

 

[SkyBlueSam01]

Sack it off and give the winners of the FA Cup a Champions League place

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Enjoyed the run we had a few years ago. Think we went out to West Ham at home quite far into it (for us).

 

[ccfc1234]

Didn't a non prem team win it a few seasons back and get into Europe or did I make that up?

A few years ago?!
It was 15 years ago now.

That’s the sort of grudge holding that I can respect!

 

[Speedies_Chips]

Sunderland-esque grudge holding in fact!

Do you mean 81/82 in the semi? That’s quite far into it.

Think it was the game we lost with a Turner own goal in the 90th minute.

Bradford werent it

Can only think of Birmingham who were relegated and playing in Europe as a Championship side

 

[Tommo1993]

Bradford got to the final and got thumped by Premier League Swansea I think.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Bradford got to the final and got thumped by Premier League Swansea I think.

Just checked and it was 5-0, imagine the meltdown 🫣

 

[ccfc1234]

Bradford werent it

I think they were who I was thinking of but as a poster below said the lost in the final. While very unlikely this is maybe the cup we have most chance of winning as the top clubs rotate. Getting into Europe which would just be off the charts amazing.

It would be great to get into Europe and bring shedloads of money but I think it would impact our season too much

They had a good time of it, beat Arsenal and then Villa over 2 legs. It was funny lots of Villa fans had booked trains and hotels thinking League 2 Bradford were a gimme
