Are we going on a cup run?

[Icy Gull]

For those under 30 it's when the Albion manage to win three cups games on the trot, hasn't happened for a while.

Is this our year not to get knocked out of the carling Cup in the 1st game??

Looks like MM and DW are taking it seriously. Oh well we can concentrate on the league after tonight I guess

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

No

when was the last time we got past the 1st round of the Milk (league) cup . I remember doing Leicester up there with a Munday net buster ....was this the last run we had

2004 when we went out to the eventual winners, Middlesbrough, in extra time.

I have a good feeling about tonight, we've made a positive stsrt to the season and a bit of a feel good factor is occuring from both within and outside the camp. Boston are in turmoil having lost 5-0 at Shrewsbusy on satuday and having lost their one and only decent player (Joachim) to Darlington.

If MM is serious about the game and we do approach it professionally it should be a fill your boots tie, I think provided we get an early goal we'll win 3 or 4 and silence the Boston 38.

I can't see it happening.

 

[Staly]

If we can beat them 5-0, you ought to be able to manage 1 or 2...

 

[Scoffers]

No, because in order to get on a cup run, by definition, you need to actually win one cup match

 

[Icy Gull]

Have any of you youngsters any idea how EXCITING a cup run is? I don't think so from the negative quitter's responses on here. If ever a club needed a decent cup run it's us, we used to expect it in the good old days.

Not sure about giong on a cup run. I reckon we'll go on a cup trot, but will probably pull up after a couple of steps with a hammy.

 

[Trufflehound]

Didn't we win two games in a row in the Vans Windscreen Wiper Trophy (or whatever it's called) a couple of years ago?

 

[Scoffers]

Brighton simply dont do League Cup runs, end of story

 

[Dawsey]

Our last cup win of any kind was actually against Boston in the LDV, almost three years ago

 

[Scoffers]

Anyone remember Barry Lloyd's league cup record

 

[London Irish]

It has to happen sooner or later

 

[Easy 10]

My guess is later then.
Much later.
