[Archived] Capital One Cup

[cn174]

Thought I should start a thread considering we'll be in the draw tomorrow (12.30).

Easy tie at home please!

One good result from tonight - Derby 5-5 Scunthorpe - going into extra time.

[Salgado Is A Hero]

Ipswich were losing 1-0 at home to Bristol Rovers which would have been pretty good news for us in a way but then they came back and won 3-1......and Swindon beat Brighton 3-0 fair play to them.

Normally I hope we draw Burnley in cups but I'm genuinely scared of facing them this season.....we could do with a cup run to distract us from the league so hopefully we get drawn at home to a League 2 side.

[braddock]

I'd rather concentrate on the league but I wouldn't say no to a cup run.

[m1st]

Whoever we get tomorrow, let's just hope we don't make a C.O.C[Capital One Cup]-up of it!!

[Stuart]

Haven't we forfeited entry this year?

Gash name for a cup competition, btw...

I honestly thought it was the name of some tacky little pre season tournament the other day when I saw it mentioned, until I saw the fixtures and realised how many teams were in it.

[Paul]

....... err can someone tell me what competition this? Never heard of it before. I have a Capital One card, am I sponsoring a cup?

[Tom]

Carling cup I think

[cn174]

Yea, it is the new sponsorship of the league cup.

[Stuart]

Carling cup I think

...well, it made me laugh anyway!

[Jock]

Rumbelows Cup

[Baz]

Last thing we need is a cup run really, settle for an away tie and early exit this season. Bigger fish to fry than the milk cup.

Rumbelows Cup

Simod Cup..but that was a bit shittier

[Mattyblue]

Simod Cup? That was a rebadged Full Members, a prestigious trophy if you don't mind.

I think us and the dingles are seeded,, so we can't draw them.

[Ralfinho]

I hope we draw the dingles in this COC

Milk Cup

[Hughesy]

I hope we draw the worst attacking team left in the draw.... just so we can try and keep a clean sheet

[Kelbo]

Try being the operative word!!

[Hughesy]

Well obviously only 'try' with Robbo between the sticks... Anything around 30 yards will beat him

[SAS]

This is the cup we were definetly going to win along with our top ten finish right?

[Mattyblue]

No it's defintely promotion this year as we have a 'squad other teams will look at go, wow what a squad'.

[braddock]

I didn't realise there were 'seeded' teams in this competition. Not a fan of that set up.

been like that for a couple of years now but i'm not a fan either.

Usually we're seeded into the 3rd round...

We only didn't play in round 1 because we were the 2nd highest team (Bolton also got a bye). SO there's somat to be said for finishing 19th..... :S

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Our priority is getting out of this hell hole of a league,no interest in meaningless cup games played infront of 2,000.
