Norwich!!!

[Gritt23]

Blimey, I know Premiership sides don't take the League Cup very seriously at times, especially teams who expect to battle relegation, but ... Norwich 0 MK Dons 4 !!!

 

[JCL - the new kid in town]

i did look at that fixture this morning and thought with MK's form that an upset was maybe possibly especially with other things on norwich's mind but was thinking a late 1-0. Wish i'd had a flutter on that now.

Bennett sitting smugly on the bench! Crofts not even in the squad

Glad to hear it!! Would expect it would have been 4-1 with a Bennett screamer consolation. You know, that's another thing I miss... no-ones taken up that mantle yet... pun only a bit intended.

MK Dons are a very good side in my opinion

some of us took the 5.7 on mk this morning

11 changes from starting line up on sunday

doesn't look like anyone was bothered as is usual under lambert in the cups

concentrate on the league now

all promoted sides knocked out...

I like the look of Sam Baldock. Wouldn't mind us taking a punt on him.

Must have some good players to get a result like this. But who?

Well I hope you let all the fans in for free then.

it is harsh on the fans yes, tho they only paid a tenner

home games these days very difficult to get tickets for and expensive so this was some people's rare chance to see us

especially kids

it's a pretty pointless competition these days sadly

MK Dons away in the next round would Shirley be the worst possible draw.

Makes sense for a struggling team to concentrate on their main objective. Job well done I'd say.

Pretty pointless if that's the manager's approach. Looks quite a good competition from where we sit.

I know its a shit cup but winning it can boost your cv and give fans a trophy and european football. Any team in premier league cold surely have realistic aims of winning 6 games and doing this.

Yep. At this stage it's only three wins to the final (or is that 4 wins if the semis are over two legs?). Win that and you've got a UEFA Europa League spot. I'd be delighted to see Brighton competing in Europe!!

Again, I just think this shows complete disrespect for fans who've paid good money to watch (over-priced or not ).
