So that knocks one of those two out.

Be interested to see how many City fans go to Swansea. Will outnumber the home fans surely?

We will lose against them

That's the spirit!!!!

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Swansea are deep in a relegation battle so won't be risking any squad players in the u21 team

 

[skybluejelly]

not worried about the team.. but would have loved a home draw..too far to drive after work in the evenings..

 

[Rob S]

Looking on the +ve side, at least we won't be playing an U21 side in the final.

[westcountry_skyblue]

I'll be there! PUSB SISU OUT!

 

[rupert_bear]

Shite draw but it is Swanseas basically Seansea's kids, maybe, just maybe Mr Fisher will allow Slade a few extra shillings so he can draft in some better players

 

[ajsccfc]

We're representing the good folks of Leagues One and Two here in eradicating the haughty snobs of the top divisions. A win here is a win for what is right and just, and hopefully George Thomas too.

 

[Seb]

Will this be at Liberty stadium do you think?

 

[skybluebeduff]

They won't be easy, that's for sure.

 

[Rob S]

Ah well, no way I can get there in time so we'll probably win setting up a glorious Semi-Final failure.

Exactly. Don't understand why Nick thinks we will lose. Surely we will be favourites and should win.

 

[MusicDating]

Crap draw for the fans, but gotta say great draw for our chances of reaching the final...

 

[Otis]

As Swansea are really struggling they surely won't risk any of their first teamers, unless it is for the same reason as with Rosenior and Brighton, that of coming back to fitness.

With our first team we should be beating any U21 team in this competition.

 

[Otis]

Yes. Beat Wolves on Tuesday in this competition and they played that match at the Liberty Stadium then.

And are we not in the same position in league 1 ? We won't take any risk with our most important players.

I believe we will. Just two games from Wembley.

I'm sure if Clarke and Foley had been available on Tuesday they would have played.

I think we will put our strongest team out for this for sure.

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Academy sides should be placed away from home in the KO's IMO.

Get these little superstars used to playing on bog heap pitches like the Ricoh!

 

[oucho]

We really could have done with a home tie. Our record this season in midweek cup fixtures at the Ricoh is P6 W6. Away from home we’ve only won twice all season in all competitions.

 

[Otis]

I think it would be a farce for any of the U23 sides to have made Wembley.

If Swansea make it now just how many do you think they would take to Wembley? 5,000? 10,000 tops?

Would be ridiculous.

 

[covcity4life]

no problem playing swansea. but away is a shame. think we could have got bumper crowd for this one at ricoh

 

[covcity4life]

gut feeling is that we will lose

 

[smileycov]

Not sure on the Favourites side, but i would be absolutely confident if this was at home. still think we have decent chance.

 

[shmmeee]

Save the bumper crowd for the semi.

Glad we get to be the ones to end the stupid U23 teams involvement, that's about it.

 

[Manchester_sky_blue]

Worst possible outcome. FFS i really wanted to go.................... pissed right on my chips.

 

[covcity4life]

they are clearly on form. hopefully slade will have brought in a few more physical specimens by then to push them off the ball

 

[chiefdave]

Where do their U23's usually play? Can't imagine them opening the Liberty if they have another option.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Could be a hard game but winnable. Really want to go to this, but don't know how logistical it will be.

 

[NortonSkyBlue]

I am sure we can go into this game with confidence. Swansea will want to win, this will not be easy( wouldn't any player want to play at Wembley)
I wouldn't expect many home supporters nor away for that matter

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

I think it's a great chance for us to get into the semis.

Would've preferred a home tie but I think it's there for the taking.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Is there a draw for the Semi's afterwards, or is it set that we play the winner of a different fixture if we were to get through?

If we get through and draw a team at home I can imagine a big crowd. This game a couple of seasons ago v Preston had a big turnout.

 

[steve82]

Disappointed with this draw, potential to progress tho. At least Bradford or Oxford will be knocked out should Bradford beat Cheltenham.
