2024/25 Carabao Cup Thread

[Son of Cod]

Ah grim, going to be a struggle then. Never played them in our history.

Yeah we had them on Boxing Day a few seasons ago with an allocation of 600. Shame they can't accommodate more as it's a bit of an exciting away day...especially at this level!

Harrogate away is a fucking great tie. Big buzz about it already. Will we only get a 1,000 or so?

I am glad you are happy we are disappointed. We wanted a big side away or Colchester/Fleetwood at home. Instead, we got this meh fixture.

The new away stand is open so the maximum way support is now 1024. If you bring that many there will be more PNE than Harrogate in the ground.

Ha, I never thought i'd see us dissed by a Harrogate fan. Amusing.

At least you’ll probably win, we’ve played the fuckers 6 times and never won.

More chance now we're rid of Lowe. The big dick head.

Just send your teenagers out against our 1st team and you will win easily.

Middlesbrough fans got defensive when our fans were devestated to draw them in the QF last year and don’t get it myself, we had the chance of Chelsea, West Ham etc, 6 Prem clubs and got Boro of course it wasn’t exciting as you play Championship clubs regularly enough in the early rounds every year.

Well Wednesdays reserves aren't getting anywhere near their first team anytime soon based on that first half.

Should be 2-0 up really hopefully we don't regret that.

 

[Gladders]

Safe to say Wednesday brought subs on and they changed the game

That did escalate pretty quickly

Another magnificent result for Fleetwood beating the Millers from the Championship. Despite a ' weakened' team and with a good few young players in the side, the Cods came back from an early goal to record a tremendous win
Fingers crossed for a good draw in the next round

League 1 Millers. Soon to be league 2 if fat man stays there all year

Beat Derby 3-2 on Pens after the game ended 0-0. Should have won in 90 mins, Spence hit the bar with a cracking free kick with about 5 mins left.
Derby were woeful. Port Vales reserve team we faced in round 1 were better.

 

[BarraMatt]

Thought we matched if not were better on the night. Would've been a bit of an injustice if we lost that on pens. Hopefully on to a big away day!

 

[GTFCfish]

Oh well at least we won the first half…..,
My lad said whoever scored Wednesdays third goal ran past the Lower smiths goading our fans, you play for Sheffield Wednesday of the Championship, and you’ve just scored against League 2 Grimsby Town, what an absolute sad tosser.

It's just a young man enjoying scoring a goal in a previously competitive fixture.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

We were marginally the better side in the first half and matched Everton up to 60 minutes. Deflected goal for the first then Sbarra had a great chance to equalise straight after but his shot was tame. Everton then stepped up a gear but we never lost our shape and certainly can hold our heads high. Everton deserved the win in the end.

 

[GTFCfish]

Sinatra had a great chance to equalise straight after but his shot was tame.

Should’ve put his laces through it instead of doing somethin’ stupid like that.

That’s life though I guess.

That's what happens when fans goad players, but of course they are quick to complain when the player gives it back. And as usual when fans goad players they normally go on to score, but we never learn!

I didn’t know our fans were goading him, fair enough then.

We've made six changes for our game with Brentford tonight, so little chance of an upset then presumably. Though the idea of beating Brentford at home being a big cup upset doesn't really sit right with me.

 

[immariner]

Wimbledon played so well but that's a shocker from your keeper. Hopefully he can make amends in the likely pens

And he did! 2nd penalty save very good. Well done proper Dons!

4 League Two teams through to Round 3 in Fleetwood, Barrow, Wimbledon and Walsall. Well in lads.

Fleetwood v Wimbledon
Walsall v Barrow

 

[LS Bantam]

Some good ties for the L2 sides, how will Barrow’s tinpot mentality cope when they play an actual big side in Chelsea?!

 

[Crewelad87]

Very good draws for the league 2 teams. Maybe not Fleetwood, who I doubt will be that excited about going to Stoke.

He redeemed himself with the penalty saves, but wtf was he doing?? How to catch a ball above your head top of the list at training tomorrow!
