3 points tonight please lads, no excuses.

 

[Beach Hut]

So excited

 

[kentgully]

Let's win the thing...

 

[Official Old Man]

So no streams, is it down to good old BBC radio then?
Well done to those ticking off another ground. Bloke I was sat next to last season on a coach trip had done 99 grounds with The Albion and we discussed where the 100th would be. Decided it was the new Everton ground but now wonder if he's been to FGR for an Albion game. Hey mate, are you on here?

 

[Perfidious Albion]

It is not a forgone conclusion but we expect to win well tonight, even though the League Cup has not always been successful for us. The team is better now though. I’d hope to see some new faces….. Undav to score? Enciso and Mitouma to shine?
Whatever…….. I hope those that can go see a good game and enjoy their vegan sausage rolls…..

 

[The Tactician]

Really looking forward to going tonight, will be a first for me. COTA

I think Potter will take this competition quite seriously this year. No relegation fears this year and he took a bit of stick for the team he selected against Villa a few years ago.
Its also useful to play some of the fringe players who need game time in the early rounds as well. No reason to think the club couldn't go all the way depending on the draw etc

Looking forward to this, new ground to see and hopefully a decent performance from those on the fringes of the squad. Might have to have some proper food en route though
