Guest Geordiesned Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 This'll be the first time we've entered at the 2nd round stage for a few years following out involvement in Europe when we've been given a bye. The draw is live on Sky Sports at 10pm on Thursday after the Rotherham v Sheffield United tie. So who does everyone fancy playing? At this stage I'd like either a piss easy home match or an away fixture at somewhere we've never played so I can chalk off a new ground. Or a match against the Mackems wouldn't go amiss either. Judging by Big Sam's comments when he was appointed he'll be taking it very seriously as he see's it as the most realistic prospect of the elusive silverware.

Yorkie Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Someone shit who we can absolutely pulverise, s'il vous plais. Accrington or Morecambe at home would be great, cheers. Never really works like that, though. We'll get Chelsea at some point anyway so it doesn't really matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geordie_Paul Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Whey that's alreet then, i've got a £10 bet on the toon to win the Carling Cup Gotta say I'd prefer a piss-easy home game but wouldn't be disappointed with another match against the Mackems like!

Guest Geordiesned Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 The draw tonight is seeded (so we can't play the Mackems at this stage) and with only one tie left to play these look like being the teams we can come up against: Blackpool, Bristol City, Bristol Rovers, Carlisle, Doncaster, Hartlepool, Hereford, Hull, Leeds, Leyton Orient, Luton, MK Dons, Morecambe, Northampton, Nottingham Forest, Oldham, Peterborough, Rochdale, Shrewsbury, Southend, Stockport, Swansea, Wrexham, (Barnsley or Rotherham or Sheffield Wednesday). If Sheffield Wednesday win tonight we can't play them as they replace Barnsley as seeds. Second Round ties will be played in the week commencing Monday 27th August.

ohmelads Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 We want the easiest team going, at home, so we can rest as many first-team players as possible and give the younger/fringe players a chance. Morecambe at home or something like that. Looking at that list there's a few teams who could give us a tough away game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
