EFL Cup 4th Round Draw | Wolves at Home

[117 M34]

Listening to talkshite yesterday, when discussing ways of "salvaging" this cup, and I reckon the best solution suggested was that teams who are in Europe should be excluded.

I'd agree with this but the problem is that the winners then wouldn't be in it the following year so they couldn't 'defend' their trophy.

Maybe if we tried to win it it would be a start of wining things for the manager? Better than not coming close to winning anything. The only manager who uses the cup to play older players.

Pep out!

The Checkatrade will be the big game that night at Bradford now - our best chance of a trophy this season.

wolves taking the whole of the south stand . over 13000

No way will they bring that many

No chance they'd bring no that many, and presumably no chance GMP would allow an allocation like that. Not sure what the rules are though in the League Cup?

Our allocation at West Brom was 20% of capacity but around 15% is more usual. IIRC Everton got about 8,000 for the semi-final two seasons ago.

I'd have thought they will be given all of the 3rd tier of SS like other teams have been

They'd have made it into Europe though so would they really care?

One of my earliest football memories is City beating Wolves 4-3 after being 3-1 down (League Cup 71-72)
A few months later we beat them 5-2 in the League.

King Colin to the rescue in that 4-3 win, only just over 10mins left and it was still 1-3, quite a few early leavers missed the exciting bit!

Everton had the 2nd and 3rd tiers of the South Stand for the semi.

Would Wolves want that many tickets for a 4th round game?

Yep.
Funny what you remember
My dad telling me that it was revenge for Wolves doing the same thing to City at Maine Road in 57-58.

 

[Super David Silva 21]

It's a pity these teams don't have more than 11 players to rely on......... oh hang on a minute

 

[JayCogTheGoodWolf]

Wolves will play mostly reserves in this, doubt even Costa will feature despite him coming back from injury.

Our priorities will be the league, why risk a first team against Man City reserves, what with probably getting beat, injuries and unnecessary minutes in what is a gruelling schedule
