League Cup 2nd Round Draw

[Colburn_Claret]

Can't complain with a home draw.
I can only see us playing a second XI for legs in the squad, but more than likely so will Derby. Clubs don't see it as big anymore, and prioritising the league is understandable.

[ClaretTony]

At least a home draw - I'd forgotten what they are

[ScottishBorderClaret]

Well I'll not be making a 340 mile round trip for that. Sky Sports + it will be for me

[Alanstevensonsgloves]

Hopefully someone like Derby at home and not a unique away game seeing as I’m away on holiday that week

And these weeks lottery numbers are?

Some memorable games with Derby over the years so a fun draw. Tough one coz Eustace is a good manager, but a home tie and we can give him a bit of stick & a bit of pantomine fun! And who can ever forget our win over them with Shacks!!

[claret wizard]

Home draw, makes a change!

You part timer .........

I'm not sure I'll be there and I live 12 miles away

That Shacks game was so funny - I can't remember which player was on commentary but he didn't like Shacks and thought it was hilarious he had a mare - go on, someone remind me

Barnes and Lukey Juke on commentary

First ever match report on Up the Clarets which had launched the previous week - and I had a nice headline for it, Ram-Shackelled.

Thanks Tony. Enjoyed reading the report back after all these years. Barnes and Juke, yeah, they were loving it

[ISpeds00]

How can Clinton Morrison make a draw appear so difficult? All the numbers have a line at the bottom of the number. It's literally reading a number out

Cos he's an absolute plant pot innit

Ekdal first goal at spurs instead

SP has to rotate and make ELEVEN changes. The most important part of keeping a huge squad happy is to reward them for their loyalty when the cup games come around.
Provided our squad isn't decimated by injuries, in which case he'll only make 10 changes.

The current date seems to be 26th August, only 4 days before the Man U game. We certainly have the squad size to at least mix it up a bit.

With this likley being on TV ... would be good to do cheap tickets for this one or else I can't see a lot of people attending

Is it likely being on tv, I thought the opposite?

Thanks Rick, loved it

They will all be on Ss+ I imagine

[ClaretTony]

They will all be on Ss+ I imagine

All League Cup ties are shown live - most of them through SS+

[Spijed]

Has that date been agreed?

[ClaretTony]

Has that date been agreed?

Nothing confirmed as yet but will almost certainly be Tuesday or Wednesday
