Dokko Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 4th favourites with most bookies behind Man U, Arsenal & Villa. Same Villa we beat 6-0. fingers crossed two of them 3 play each other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooper Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 No doubt Matt le tiss will draw us at emirates or old trafford. All I want is a home game, don't care who against. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohmelads Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Absolutely we have to go for it. We can beat any of the teams left in it on our day, espescially given Arsenal and Man Utd tend to play a younger team. Draw them at home and who knows? Last year I thought this was a big distraction because we had a 46 game season - 8 more than Prem clubs. But the Carling Cup is not a long competition - the route to the final is quite short.

I guess we will have to wait closer to the time - if we put some distance between us and 18th spot then maybe we should go for it - though it will depend on what team we get Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

broonalegeordie Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 will be a shame on the lads that miss out in the later rounds having done so well v chelsea.... but if we have any chance of getting near a cup final im all for playing a strong team. Its only 3 games 'til the final, thats nowt really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
9 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 i think when you win at chelsea away you have to start taking it seriusly otherwise it seems a huge waste of that result. that said i think last nights team when playing to there full as they did are capable of beating most the teams left in the cup other than Arsenal, Man utd and a in form Villa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I looked at the teams left, and it's only Man U or Arsenal that fill me with any doubt. We've got what it takes to beat any of the others (whether we do is another matter). We need to go for this, how often are there only 2 of the big teams left in the last 16!? If any team's going to pull off a shock cup win anytime soon, it looks like this is one of the best chances in a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elbel1 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Dream draw would be home to Northampton/Brentford Arsenal v Man Utd All remaining Prem clubs to play another Prem club. Not asking too much Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 An amalagamation of the options, imo. Yes - stick our fringe/reserve players out and go for it. It'd be an insult to the likes of Ferguson and Shola to chuck em out the team in the next round. I can feel a bit of fire in me belly though. A trip to Wembley would be sensational.

Yorkie Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 We're due a decent draw TBH, always seem to get shafted by the ball bag. Yeah, usually by that draw we've just fought our way through! Just to have won would be immensely satisfying, but that victory has put a tiny bugbear of our recent history to bed. We've been fucked over by Chelsea in the cup loads of times in the last few years. SWP's dive at Stamford Bridge... Drogba moving the ball for a free-kick at SJP... just off the top of my head. It was the same again with Alex's tumble last night. Man. What a FUCKING win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stozo Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Not yet. The league is the priority and we are still at a relatively early stage in the competition. If we make it through the next round though then we seriously need to start thinking about going for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 We'll hopefully use a mixture of youth and senior players. The league is our bread and butter, the cups are a welcome distraction. Few good teams have gone out so it's a good chance to push on, only time will tell if it's to the detriment of our league form if we use our best 11 each round (assuming we progress further).

merlin Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 The nearer we get to the final the more seriously we should take this competition ; in addition, our progress in the PL is a major factor because we do NOT want injuries to key players which may result in a struggle. IF we are mid-table by the time the SFs come around and still in the LC, then yes, go for it - otherwise, NO. Hopefully we get a seemingly easier tie next round and the reserve lads can have another go at making their names....they did OK last night after all.
