Carabao Cup third round draw-Thursday

Post by tiger76 » Wed Aug 29, 2018 3:42 pm

I know we have the small matter of a Europa League play-off the same evening,but has anyone got a preference on who we face in this tournament,or does nobody care,normally i'd be non-plussed about this comp,but if we go out of Europe tomorrow,then we should within reason try and progress as far as possible,we're only 2 wins from the quarter-finals with our exemption this year,and then who knows.

Blackburn or Preston, home or away would be lovely.

Hopefully not a PL team ideally..

If we get knocked out of Europe tomorrow I'd like to see us taking the 2 domestic cups seriously, but can't see it somehow.

It doesn't really matter who we draw as the priority is Premier survival as it has been in every season since we have been up there, same goes for the FA cup.

Just seen an absolutely appalling decision not to award a penalty to Newcastle in the last minute. Not quite in the Schumacher style (but then again nothing ever will be) but the most blatant foul by the Forest keeper in the last minute of added time. Might have got them a draw and penalties. Don't know who the referee is but when he sees it back he will be hugely embarrassed by it.

I think we should be taking it very seriously. 4 wins and we are in the final. 20 games to get to the Europa Final.

Going out against Burton, could be a lot worse I suppose.

There's a fair chance of Liverpool v Chelsea being on.

We will play a weak team and not take it seriously. Burton have a very good chance. Shame as not many games to get to final.

I Don't think it's a bad draw compared to some of the rubbish we've had in the last few years. A new ground to visit, terracing in the away end, not too far and tickets should be cheap. What's not too like?

Most championship sides and a couple of 1st division would have turned over Olympiakos at home. The Greeks were dreadful worst than our finishing

With chopping and changing for Europa we now have a decent second team well capable of beating second string teams all the way to the semis

Hotel booked.

I was over in Vegas last week. Tried to watch the Watford game in the Crown and Anchor, Internet only they say. So I had to watch it on my phone! Could have done that in my hotel room. Watched the Olympiakos away leg on a stream in the MGM. Seems our coverage over there is as bad as it is here. Used to be no problem getting any EPL game on the telly.

Yeah they changed it last season to a paid app - all the games are available but it's usually just the big teams on tv here now. To be fair, if you were a neutral would you rather watch Man City or Burnley !!
