EFL Cup - 3rd Round Draw (WBA away)

[Wrighty Wrexham]

Whats the cup called again? The Candle Cup scousers nailed on for it then!

Not really bothered when the draw is done, tbh. Would be nice to get a lower league team at home though to see the likes of Foden and Diaz get some game time.

why are fans being treated like shit ? do you really want to watch the league cup 3rd round draw ?

Missed the point. We have sold the sponsorship to some unknown brand to the UK market and part of the deal is the draw being made abroad. How long before games are played are even dafter times and days to suit the foreign market. On a very slippery slope

In some backroom in China with no tv coverage , still I expect it will be above board lol

For maximum exposure, apparently. YCNMIU.

Cant see why they would play games on a very slope though?

No. As said, at 04:15 am our time.

I think football is leaving me behind , who makes these decisions .....

Wait for the first article claiming we're disrespecting the competition by playing a changed team.

It's for the benefit of Rag supporters there.

Must stay up for this lol!

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I wonder which Premier League team we will be away to?

I think it will be one of Haringey, The Arse or CFC. There again it might be that we are drawn to play all three at the same time!

Could someone explain the theory that we'll get hard draw away to one off the favorite clubs. Would this not be putting the so called favourite clubs in danger of being knocked out.???

The idea we will definitely get one of the favourites is a bit silly, but we've not faced a team below Championship level in either domestic cup since Notts County six and a half years ago. Compare that with Arsenal (sponsored by Emirates) being drawn against two non-league teams last season in the FA Cup (sponsored by Emirates).

Even if holding it in China made sense, why hold it at mid morning their time?

Er no. The ref will see to it that we go out. Should we draw a minnow it's far harder to play the joker and put us out,that have to get in our half first.

Don't bother getting up at 4.15 for the draw,this years final is between rags and dippers.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Should just stop this competition. It serves absolutely no purpose as every club changes almost their entire team. As an example, Ipswich made 11 changes last night. They've got 1 league game on Saturday and are then off for two weeks. They're skint, like many championship teams, but don't feel there's any value in trying to stay in the tournament. If nobody wants to be in it, it needs to be scrapped and the FA Cup can start earlier in the season.

So no live stream just have to take their word for it
