League Cup

[Luke_1884]

Shrewsbury beat bristol rovers in the 1st ever playoff final there. Id have a guess that Chelsea beat man utd too in the fa cup final before the playoffs.

Yeah you're right there, Kiddy played in the FA trophy there before us too.

First Championship final then...

You planning on going to the game at Wolves?

You planning on going to the game at Wolves?

I am, work and life permitting.

I hope we start Donovan Wilson against Rovers, back to where it started for him.

I hope he scores a hattrick against them and winds the fans up

 

[Luke_1884]

Beaten in the second round by Barnsley tonight, 3-2. Disappointing after leading twice but not the end of the world, hopefully the 11 changes will be justified on Saturday by getting a decent result at Bristol City.

Enjoy Wembley Craig and co.

Wembley in the 3rd round

 

[Craig]

Been allocated just shy of 5k tickets. I'm off that night and it's only £10 a ticket with club offering £20 return fares on the bingo bus. Season ticket holder so pretty much guaranteed a ticket if I fancy it.

As has been said earlier though Spurs at White Hart Lane would have been a much more appealing prospect. That said it's still Spurs away so might be tempted.

 

[markwwfc1992]

Expecting to make a few changes for Bristol Rovers. Would love to progress further so I hope we take it seriously. If we're not at our best they will do to us what they did to Fulham.

Norris
Coady - Batth - Bennett
Marshall ---------------------- Deslandes
Price - Ronan
Enobakhare ------- Zyro
Wilson

​

Prediction: 1-1 but we go through on penalties (hopefully).

 

[JJH]

Stoke at home. Yawn.

Steele
Vyner Flint Magnusson Kelly
Eliasson Hegeler Brownhill CoD
Taylor Diedhiou
​

0-2 Crouch & Allen. 12,198.

Fancy an upset at Ashton Gate tonight.

Not sure with the team we have out, complete second string. Been sent this: "Vyner, Flint, Hegeler, Hörður, Brownhill, Pack, Eliasson, O'Dowda, Taylor are all starting. Hordur left back and hegeler centre half. Other two undecided until later. Steele likely to be in goal though. Waiting on fitness tests."

I don't know why Championship clubs don't take this more seriously, I was fuming last season when Grayson took a reserve team to Newcastle and we were absolutely smashed. With Premier League clubs resting players every round, a Championship team has every chance of making the semis (or final as Bradford & Cardiff have proved) if they played a full strength side.

Don't mind playing a weaker team tbh, they should perform well because they will be trying to stake a claim to get into the first team that are performing well at the moment.

Would of liked to see Kelly start though. How much are the tickets tonight?

Jesus - anything below a 3-0 loss for me would be a win

Bar the 3 centre backs it's our 2nd team. Oskar Burr Rasmussen has never made a match day squad before so it's a bit of a wild card to throw him in. Would have liked Wilson to start against his ex club, but expect him to come on as a sub. I still think it will be a draw and go to penalties. Lucky for us Will Norris is great at saving them.

 

[villa loyal]

Can see us winning tonight. Hopefully kodjia starts. You can't beat a good cup run to lift spirits, and it's not as if we have not got the squad to rotate.

 

[villa loyal]

Just seen our team and I'm not overly confident now. If hogan turns up tonight we might be ok.

 

[KevinMcallister]

9 changes for us, out we go

 

[Madejski]

Rested a few key first teamers, but still a strong squad, and bringing in plenty of normally first choice players (Obita, Swift, Beerens) who have been out injured for the start of the season

Jaakkola; Gunter, Obita, Moore, Ilori; Evans, Bacuna, Swift; Beerens, Popa, Clement


Looks like Swansea have gone even more first choice than us, so I would expect them to win.
