The EFL Cup Thread

[PuB]

We take on the mighty Millwall tonight, will lose obviously.

How about you lot?

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

We have West Brom away. Can’t see us causing them too much problem, getting a point against Sunderland seemed to take a lot out of us, so think we will need to rotate the first 11 as a result.

Hope Jack Stacey has a good game if he plays after they dicked him about a little bit this summer over a transfer to them.

 

[Kenneth E End]

Think we have no choice but to make a few changes, I’d go with:
Shea, Justin, Potts, Bradley, Pearson, Rea, Ruddock, Gambin, Shinnie, Collins, Lee
Subs: Isted, Sheehan, Stacey, Read, Grant, Jervis, Cornick

 

[PUSBCCFC]

Oxford v Coventry tonight. Not too sure why I am going but around 700 sold so shouldn't be too bad.

Hopefully a chance to pick up our first win.

 

[WilsdenBantam]

Macclesfield away, hopefully we'll get our first win in the LC since 2014, think we used up all our wins at once.

Are they still doing the draw in Thailand this year?

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Away at Scunny, McCann has stated that he isn’t going to make changes except enforced ones so no Kiwomya through injury.

 

[nelsonpfc]

The real Wimbledon at Fratton Park. We will rotate the squad. I expec Brett Pitman to play as he was dropped for the Blackpool game. David Wheeler and Louis Dennis will more than likely start

Likely lineup

MacGillvery

RB: Walkes
CB: Burgess
CB: Clarke
LB:Haunstrup
RW:Wheeler
CM:May
CM:Rose
LW: Dennis
CF: Pitman
CF:Chaplin

I was say apart from CM that would be good enough to finish a decent position in league one.

 

[mowgli]

Northampton at home,we've got them in the tinpot cup as well.

 

[Jamo]

Blackpool away. Probably lose lol.

 

[Bobbin']

Our u23s travel to MK Dons.

 

[Stanleyfan]

We're away at Mansfield - I could have gone but they're charging £20 so it has put me off. I know Preston v Morecambe is only £10 and I'm sure most other games would be too.

We have a great record recently v Mansfield but that was in the league - they've knocked us out of cup competitions before and I think it will be a much changed team tonight for us.

 

[Craig]

Blackpool away. Probably lose lol.

I hope not, a cup run would be nice as it's going to get a bit monotonous winning in the league every week.

 

[codaplenty]

Fleetwood have never made it to the 2nd round, pretty consistent record. Crewe away tonight so opportunity beckons, no extra time so could be won or lost on penalties, now our record on penalties is pretty ........

Disgraceful price.

One fitness doubt - Andy Barcham* - but other than that we're likely to field a full strength team.

*Shame that, he was excellent on Saturday.

 

[iWomble]

Are we? Haven't seen Ardley say that. Would be surprised if half a dozen players who are knocking on the door of the starting XI don't get given a chance tonight.

I'd guess that some of the bench from Saturday might start. It'll be a strong side though.

Away at Mansfield for us.......... Needess to say for £20 a ticket I wont be there. Jokers.

Ridiculous. Pompey have set very reasonable prices - £10 down to £2 for U18s.

Sadly I can't go as I'll be at work.

I might have just made this up, but don’t both clubs have to agree on the price - ensuring that they’re above the FA threshold?

 

[F!RTHY]

Anyway, as mentioned, Macc away:

We have a decent record record, but it’s never really that simple, is it.

Doyle and Chicksen took knocks at the weekend, so I imagine they’ll be rested. I expect changes throughout.

GK: O’Donnell

RB: Joe Riley
CB: Ryan McGowan
CB: Matt Killgallon
LB: Connor Wood

RW: Jordan Gibson/Sherwin Seedorf
CM: Hope Akpan
CM: Josh Wright
LW: Tyrel Robinson

ST: George Miller
ST: Kai Brünker

3-1 City

Pretty much certain that's the case

 

[Shrimpurh]

We're playing the team all of us mid-size L1 clubs would like to be in Brentford. Will probably lose but I'm going because I'm single and quite simply, have nothing else to do.

 

[Gassy]

Crawley in the Cup for like the 3rd time in 4 years or something.

Hurray.

Terrible pricing.

 

[wasi]

Yes you are correct. Quite clear neither club wants anyone there.

Looks like both teams will be playing a reserve side anyway. Shame really.

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Best news of the night for us regardless of result is that Luke Berry is back on the bench for us. Amazing recovery after sustaining a terrible looking injury at Colchester back in March (I think it was March!), hadn’t expected to see him until at least Christmas really.

Obviously not going to be back to what he was for a little while yet but a really important player for us.

 

[Bottega Don]

We are another level of dire than I thought.

2-0 down but could be 7 or 8. Completely outclassed by a better side.

Gonna be a long old season this.

 

[Craig]

We've been battered at Blackpool but have more fans there than they do so we are the real winners.

 

[Jamo]

6 changes and they've not delivered. If it means Stendel learns more about his team and doesn't make the same mistakes with team selection then I couldn't give a toss about tonight.
