Dedicated thread for the cup draw.

Could it have been any worse. Will play them twice in about 10 days both away .

Used our luck up last season with the draw. 

[PV1973]

Jesus thats a shocker of a draw.

all we need now is the lardie kids in the other joke cup ! ffs

[TJHValiant]

Had we drawn a league 2 team last season, we’d be celebrating it as one of the easiest draws we could have. Given we probably have a stronger team than we started last season, without even Loft until the end of August, after Harrison  had left, this should still be seen as an easy draw. 
 

Don’t let watching rubbish last season lower our expectations for a club which is certainly our most well run and funded league 2 side ever. 
 

No Bratt, No Smurfwaite, No admin, No Gannon. No excuses. Demand more. 
 

Want. Need. Expect.

I'm more interested in the league. If somebody said to me we would lose this but get the 3 points in the away league game at barrow then I'd take that now.

I hope we get knocked out straight away.

We need go back up so as they say, concentrate on the league

We need to get funds into the club and a cup run will help, I'm sure Carol and Kevin haven't got an endless pit of funds to keep dipping into 🤔💷💷💷

Because of lack of prize money I bet pre Boro we arguably made a loss v Fleetwood, Crewe and Sutton as the gates were poor.

FA Cup the biggest as get decent money.

Are all Carabao Cup games now available live on Sky as part of this new Sky Sports+ pack?

[JRC]

A chance for our reserve and youth players to get some minutes. That's really what this competition has become. It is useful,  though not for the reason originally envisaged. Same goes for the EFL Trophy.  Main benefit of progressing in both is the development of younger players.

Wow, there's some bold statements there.  Surely motivation for our opponents, too!
