Haven't seen the Derby line up to be honest. But as you say, particularly in this competition, it's rarely a surprise when a higher placed team loses in the early rounds. All good for us, I believe, as it makes us more likely to be seeded, does it not?

1.L. Grant
12.C. Baird
3.C. Forsyth
11.J. Russell
24.A. Weimann
16.A. Pearce
14.J. Shackell
8.J. Hendrick
9.C. Martin
34.G. Thorne
23.T. Ince

So we are hoping for a Leeds loss tomorrow so that we are seeded in the draw? Or am I wrong?

I thought we were seeded now because either Boro or Derby had to lose?

I thought we were only getting seeded if Leeds lost tomorrow?

We are seeded now as far as I can work out, 24 teams are going to be seeded, the 12 premier league teams plus the next best 12 sides based on last seasons league positions. I've worked out we are 11th with only Leeds game left so we will be the final seed should Leeds win, if Leeds lose Rotherham will also be seeded.

Are seeded teams drawn to play away, or is that left to the draw ?

Forgot all about Thorne. Quality player really unlucky with injuries. If he's back then that's effectively another signing for Derby. I reckon they'll come good.

Dirty Leeds 1-1 with Donny, having played half an hour with 10 men. 15 minutes until full-time, with extra-time to follow if still level. If Leeds get through, they get seeded, thereby avoiding being drawn against the 12 PL clubs that enter in the second round; if they don't get through, we get seeded.

Commentators bleating on about Leeds support, it's 35 mins on the train.! It's not surprising the Northern clubs have decent away followings when Fulham away at over 2 hours is a "local" game for us.

We are seeded then!

Followed it without much enthusiasm on BBC text - the most biased reporting in the Beeb's history I would think :nono:
