League Cup 2nd round all in one match thread

[Grecian O'Grecian]

Blackburn vs Lincoln
Bournemouth vs MK Dons
Brentford vs Cheltenham
Fulham vs Exeter
Newport vs Oxford
Walsall vs Macclesfield
West Brom vs Mansfield
Wycombe vs Forest Green

8 League 2 sides left. Any potential shocks?

Looking forward to Fulham away tomorrow. Fully expecting us to lose, but should be a decent trip.

I can see MK Dons beating Bournemouth, as they will pretty much play an under 23’s side.

We’ll probably lose to Blackburn, but our main priority is Exeter on Saturday so I imagine we’ll make a lot of changes to the team. Still hope we get through though to give us a chance of drawing one of the big boys.

 

[WhiteRussian]

No, I would like to think so but I expect Bournemouth to put out a reasonable team. They are big enought to have the depth and small enought to take the cup seriously. We won't win there.

 

[wangle]

Didn’t they made 11 changes in the fa cup last year? which makes me think they wont care too much about the league cup this year.

 

[Imp in Branston]

A loss but hopefully not a hiding like they dished out to Carlisle away and no injuries please.

 

[Davidimp]

Bloody good side Blackburn absolutely hammered us 1-0 in a friendly.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Wycombe kindly agreed to play in their change strip to accommodate our star-studded shirt shambles. Cheers Chairboys.

Yep, good stuff from them as we were kind of fucked otherwise. We've been lucky not to have to play too many teams that wear blue away so far this season.

 

[Indian Dan]

There’s 2 rounds in the League Cup? Never knew that!

 

[Si Robin]

We've never made it to the 3rd round of the League Cup and we're not going to start tonight.

 

[Blue Lion]

Walsall away is probably the worst and least inspiring draw possible. We'll get stuffed.

 

[Luke Imp]

Be surprised if we didn't make 6-8 changes again, as against Port Vale with being away at Exeter on Saturday.

 

[Devon_Lad]

Be surprised if we don't beat Fulham.

 

[Franchisor]

They aren't playing an U23 side, they are apparently playing a few second-string first team players as well as giving debuts to a few intended first choice summer signings including their club record signing, £25m Jefferson Lerma who has just come back from injury and £11m Diego Rico.

The likes of Jermaine Defoe and Lewis Cook are apparently going to be involved too. We're going to get destroyed.

 

[wangle]

That does sound a bit trickier.... but you never know!

 

[Moomin]

Think we will make a couple of changes tonight to go with a couple of enforced ones as Forte is injured and Moxey suspended.

Want to see Abrahams start and perhaps give Dara O’Shea his first start at the back. Croll will come in too.

Fulham will make 11 changes I expect but I imagine we will still have a very tough night. Just hope we perform well and give them a tough game...

 

[Son of Cod]

I'm backing a few of the L2 lads tonight. £5 on Newport and FGR to win.

 

[Devon_Lad]

I'm backing a few of the L2 lads tonight. £5 on Newport and FGR to win.

I've backed Exeter, Mansfield, Lincoln, Milton Keynes and Fleetwood all to either win or draw at over 500/1

 

[Conker]

Hope West Brom starting line up is not too strong or I fear a bit of a thrashing.

 

[Greenacres]

We made eight changes for the 1-0 win at Swindon, the manager acknowledged that that was too many, I expect a few changes tonight but probably not too many to mean that we don't give Wycombe a decent game. I think it could go to extra-time, hopefully not penalties, but probably a narrow victory for the home team.

 

[Luke Imp]

7 changes for us.

 

[Moomin]

We’ve made multiple changes. No Sweeney, Law, Boateng, Taylor, Moxey, Forte, Stockley. Given debuts to two players in defence, both of whom were playing for Hereford last season.

They’ve made lots of changes but Sessengon starting among other names I recognise.

1-0 down already...Going to be a long night

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Only a couple of changes for us, Montgomery in goal who was superb in first round, Doidge on the bench.

 

[Conker]

Only made one or two changes, playing our LWB Benning at CB due to literally having only one spare CB who is the 18 yo that made his debut against Macclesfield.

A ridiculous position to be in considering our budget.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Wimbledon gone one up against West Ham.

 

[Son of Cod]

I'm backing a few of the L2 lads tonight. £5 on Newport and FGR to win.

Good work Newport, killed my bet 4 minutes in. That's a PB, I reckon.

 

[denzel ecfc]

This was a good chance for us and we've thrown in the towel with our selection

 

[The Jovial Forester]

We sound OK, had a couple of half chances already. Grubb enjoying his start.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Macc seem to be cantering away with it away

 

[Dan_Macclad]

We only beat league one teams.
