League 1 - EFL Cup Round 1

[Sheffsteel]

88th min going away again this weekend thankfully so no football for me

That's brilliant news.
If you're not there you know it means we'll win now.
Haven't been to any games yet but I'm going on Saturday.

To be fair we've played really well for the first 20-30 minutes of both games and could easily have had big leads in both. At least we're creating plenty of chances which is a good sign.

Some have said we've been unlucky to lose our first 2 games but the problem is that good teams tend to be lucky and poor teams tend to be unlucky.

Also confidence can play a big part and once we start feeling sorry for ourselves the team might stop performing. Fail to beat Rochdale on Saturday and the crowd will be very restless. It's already a must win match.

I wasn't at bolton and that ended in defeat.

We were garbage

A mere 12 hours until we kick off our dream tie away at Burton Albion. We will lose, Burton will draw Chelsea away in the next round.

£20 to get in too tonight which is an absolute rip off for a 1st round cup game. Especially when you consider its only £10 for Burton fans to get in. Dullest fixture imaginable can't see more than 100 travelling.

Stop talking shite again. It's £15 for both sets of fans in the seats in advance and £20 on the day. It's £10 in the terrace in advance and £15 on the day

Yeah we are seats only.

 

[blademan89]

Yeah we are seats only you

Basing it on the £20 price then for paying on the day the terrace is £15 for Burton fans paying on the day but exactly the same price as your lot in the seats.

£20 is a rip off for 1st round cup game yes or no?

Buy a ticket before and it's £15. £20 is a rip off for any game in our league but remember your playing championship opposition prices go up

Try £20 in to Accrington to watch miss after miss and going out on penalties

Sorry Ste.

 

[MJA]

I've just logged onto Vale's forum - did we lose last night?

 

[ThisTinpotLeague]

I'm not sure that a cup game is inherently worth less than a League game. You could be fielding a strong team against higher division opposition and you might get extra time and penalties for your ticket money too?

It's one thing if it's the JPT and you expect that at least one of the teams might not be taking it seriously. Otherwise clubs might try and discount to encourage you to spend extra money, but not sure why it's expected.

And £20 for a game at this level is very much fair game.

How often do we actually got entertained for the money we pay to watch football though?

 

[Indian Dan]

5-5 anyone?

Would be relegated as a league two side apparently... If we beat Southend we will be promoted by Xmas on there! Jekyll and Hyde!

 

[blademan89]

Very rarely then and in my opinion that wasn't entertainment sure it was for anyone else though

To be honest I bloody love watching my team play. If I didn't, I would stop going. I don't subscribe to the view that I have some sort of moral obligation to fund my club, so maybe I'm in the minority

Something in me does love watching us but at the minute I'm really struggling to think what. I think I'm just having a general fall out with football I'm sure I'll be back to normal soon enough

 

[blademan89]

If leeds lose tonight every single Yorkshire club are out. Pathetic

 

[JoeJoeJoeJoe]

I mean, is it pathetic?

You're the only county who would be annoyed at nearby clubs being out the league cup.

Typical yorkshire wronguns imo.

Biggest county in the country the standard of our football clubs really is poor.

Hull will be in round 2

Everyone that was in round 1. I still don't class hull and Boro as Yorkshire either

Ok fair enough

 

[Big Bird]

Lost to QPR on pens. Decent performance. Equalised in extra time with 10 men and two midfielders playing in a back 3!

 

[GFCSludge]

Watford away, that'll do.

 

[Hurrikeen]

What a fucking bobbins draw.
