Here's hoping for the big one... Norwich away

Now in our second Prem season and not new boys, I think we should really go for a cup success.... it is our path to glory.

We won’t.

So who can we actually draw in this round? What qualifies as southern?

Dreaming of QPR or Brentford away but presuming we'll get Bournemouth again...

Forest Green Rovers away please

Nice easy fixture please. Cheltenham at home or similar?

Cheltenham away would suit me fine - on my door-step (well, compared to any other club) and PotG; or a nice little trip to Forest Green (assuming they're still in it - haven't seen all the results).

You should know, Brighton do not do easy at home in the League Cup. We have a long proud history of slipping on banana skins in this competition. Just a few short years ago at home to Newport County is the most recent that comes to mind. Going back further, that notorious night when we couldn't beat a 10 man Gillingham with the full back in goal after the keeper was sent off early doors. Plenty of other early round screw ups along the way.

Give the fringe players a run out against Wirral County, Craptown Rovers or whoever, let them bask in the glory of a Premier League scalp, then we move one to 'concentrate on the league.' It's how we roll in the league cup......

Our u23s are a lot stronger now.

There's no "easy" fixtures for B&HA. I can't remember a time when we walloped an easy team. Can remember lots walloping us though.

Coventry at home last season were pretty easily rolled over.

And Cheltenham 4-0 the season before.

A Cup run would be great. Our most realistic route to European football. We won't start playing full strength sides unless we get to the very late stages of either though.

But our 2nd string XI is much stronger this season.

What and not have a proper burger or pie at half time

Actually the pies are very popular, and they sell lots of them at every home match.

Plymouth or Exeter

So 92 league clubs and the "easy" lower leagues, and drubbing Cheltenham 4-0 is the best we can do. I've watched sides put 8 in the back of the Goldstone net. We don't do easy, beating Manchester United is a lot easier. It's in Albion DNA.
