League Cup 3rd Round: Brighton going for a Burton

[countryman]

The lowest team at home.

 

[Marshy]

Sunderland at home please

 

[chatstandnorth]

a glamour tie with one of the big five,or sunderland or palace

I'd be ok with a tie with a less glamorous premier league side

but please not a championship, league one or two side.

 

[perseus]

The lowest team at home.

I think that will be Shrewsbury

 

[JOLovegrove]

Everton at home please.

 

[ExmouthExile]

I'd love to give palarse a bloody good pasting at smellhurst, it's about time!

 

[Goldstone1976]

I'd love a decent cup run, even if it's this ridiculous farce of a cup, but, with a largely new team (it's likely that we'll start on Saturday with at least 6 players signed in this window), we're clearly going for promotion, which has to be the main aim.

For both reasons, I think a tie against Palace or Sunderland would be detrimental. We'd be less likely to win than if we played a smaller club and we'd be more likely to burn emotional energy that could be better directed at the league campaign if we played either Palace or Sunderland.

So, I'd go for Shrewsbury at home (or similar) as first choice, or a glamour tie away against a top PL side that we'd likely lose (but at least we'd have a decent day out) as second choice.

 

[Juan Albion]

I would also like Bradford City at home because it would mean another Dirty Big Club is out.

Behave, we have squad of professional fit players one extra game wont hurt them, and surely as fans we all look forward to these kind of games under the Amex lights.

Burton Albion!.......................failing that we do alright against Newcastle.

 

[wellquickwoody]

I'd love to give palarse a bloody good pasting at smellhurst, it's about time!

And who would you like for footballing reasons?

Fair point. There's no doubt that as a one-off game, a tie against Sunderland or Palace would be pretty tasty....!

 

[sparkie]

Burton

Agreed,all this cup does (unless you can get to the very latter stages) is get you injuries...red/yello cards,hardly much use when the league is our main aim.

 

[The Birdman]

Man Utd at home......

Ha ha

 

[loco61]

1. FC Cologne or Borussia Moenchengladbach away please?

 

[Finchley Seagull]

Big team home or away (preferably away) or lower division team at home. Preference for Newcastle away

 

[gregbrighton]

1. FC Cologne or Borussia Moenchengladbach away please?

We're not in the Europa League yet, perhaps in two seasons tine
