[Bozza]

What?

 

[Wozza]

lolz

 

[Sheebo]

Not even funny

 

[hart's shirt]

QF - MK Dons
SF - Lincoln
F - Gillingham

 

[Simster]

To be fair, it's just worked a ruddy TREAT. Charlton away is always splendid.

 

[Sheebo]

I did just look at some dates and noticed the semis are 2 legs - think they always were but maybe that was scrapped due to covid for a season or 2… you never know…

 

[Seagull on the Hill]

What?

You have just invited the Gods of Football to piss all over our parade.

You don't have a parade for reaching the quarter-final of the League Cup.

At least we didn't in 78-79, the only time in our entire ruddy history that we accomplished such a feat.

Absolutely winning against Charlton so its a pretty valid question...

Quarter-final is when it starts to get a bit exciting. A decent draw and all of a sudden the dream of getting shat on by City in a final looks pretty real.

Runner up is the new winner..

They played two legged semi finals last season, it was only the 20-21 season where the semi finals were just single games.

That’s Charlton’s pre-game team talk sorted

 

[sparkie]

We're lose against Charlton.

Always presuming we do win at the Valey of course, it may have been a favourable draw, but if we relax too much we could come unstuck.

The big boys left in the competition will probably rest their better players, l doubt very much that Charlton will.

Just saying like.

Yep, l fear the main man may have scored a massive own goal by starting this thread.

They just narrowly beat Brighton U21 in the EFL Cup a few months ago. I expect Brighton to play with pretty much the first team to get match fit after the WC break, if the boys don't win it, I expect BOOS

Just 3 of our players started at both Wolves and Arsenal. We won both.

Say what you like about the big boys resting players - and you are right of course - but the strength in depth of our squad is such that this really shouldn't be an issue. It wouldn't raise eyebrows if any of the XI that started against Arsenal also started in the league (with possible exceptions of Steele and Enciso).

Well obviously on paper we should win, but nothing is a given, thatgs what makes cup competitions so exciting.

Does anyone know when this is scheduled to be played by the way?

20/21 December. Maybe an odd fixture on 22 December.

 

[Bodian]

Newcastle in the final will do.
