EFL Cup Tykes (2) v Rovers (2) (6-7 PEN)

[Rockford's Love Child]

RLC how did Yarney play? I’m expecting turnbull to start on Saturday but another decision for Dawes to make

Very well I thought, but I still expect Turnbull will come back into the side on Saturday.

The 2nd round draw is after the live game tonight and is like the 1st round regionalised

 

[bring back the cowshed!]

The EPL teams who are not in Europe join at this stage. If we are looking for a bumper gate and TV money, Everton at home would do nicely! Then Liverpool in round three.
Personally, I’d prefer any team at home we have a chance of beating.
We won’t win this cup but with luck we could fill the coffers a bit.

I’d rather swerve Everton and keep the St Yates’ day legacy. Agree with BBTC that a winnable home tie best for the next round.

I have to disagree, Boz. This time next year we could be celebrating St. Kristian's Day.

Home to Leicester. Might get a half decent crowd in

 

[Ian]

Thats pretty decent!

23 and a half years after losing to Leicester at Wembley, it’s redemption time for Joe!

I’d forgotten that - and I was there! That’s an incredible stat. I expect Joe to play as the club seem to use cup games to keep reserve keepers match practice.
I think Parky played in that game too.

Indeed re Leicester. Football was a lot different then as was the quality of the Rovers team! Still at home against a team that has lost several key players following relegation. You never know!

 

[bigmart]

Will be a tough game but st least we are home, I watched them beat Burton last night and itcwas fairly comfortable for them

 

[Ian]

Yeah. Tough night for Stockton, Caprice and co

Also shows he got a good head on him when was tge last time we had set play routines that worked

Not a bad draw up the whites

Parky did, yes.
I still wish Achterberg did too, but I’ll go easy on Joe for now!

Incidentally the tie is now confirmed for Tuesday Aug 29.
