This is about as big a draw as we could have got with Lampard being their manager yet there'll be less than 3,000 (maybe even less than 2000) there unless Derby bring a few. And why do people want/expect it to be a tenner against Championship opposition where we could progress to a lucrative next round draw yet are fine with £17 to watch us play Macclesfield? Surely it should be the other way round? Probably due to the fact that we have had a poor start The prospect of Chris O'grady uptop on his own against championship defenders doesn't fill me with much confidence. Apathy is already setting in its worrying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am however expecting us to get a twatting if they turn up anywhere near to full strength. Edited August 13, 2018 by GlossopLatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm pretty sure the Boro games were a tenner. Fair enough, but that is cheap, I doubt there are many clubs doing that? Mate of mine who is a Rochdale fan (not chaddysmoker) is paying £20 I think.

That view hasn't changed. Wholesale changes and ready to go again on Saturday. On a side note our record in this competition is absolutely horrific. Since that R4 run in 2003 I don't think we've had many great draws (Spurs at home maybe back when they were average) and apart from great draws I think we've gone out in the first round in 8 of the last 9 years. Not made Round 3 since 2003 find that astonishing! Record since then Played 19 Won 4 Lost 15 Played 20 lost 16 it is then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_bro Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 They could play their 3rd choice team and beat us at the moment. Not going, but I'll be their Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disjointed Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Looking forward to this one. The magic of the cup (I know it is not that cup). You never know what might happen, it is a Tuesday night after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby average 30,000 home fans - so I would expect at least a thousand despite being hammered at home by DL(*) on Saturday. And then there is the Lampard feel good effect. Come to think of it, they should be bringing more * Dirty Leeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpo Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 A couple of rule changes: Match goes to penalties if scores level after 90 minutes (stupid) Yellow cards don't count toward league suspension. 2 yellows in EFL cup = suspended for the next round. (Yeah alright) But red cards still leave you suspended for any upcoming first team game(s) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archiecat Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Yaaaay Game day I Can't decide between the Joe Royle white elephant stand or be in with the Main stand moaners. Suppose i could go in the Chaddy and join in with the singing and cheering ( Can't beat a bit of nostalgia ). Whatever, let us all just turn up and see what happens!

Kusunga_Is_God Posted August 14, 2018 Author Share Posted August 14, 2018 Decided on going. Doesn’t set me back too much due to being a student and should be good to see the signage for the JF stand and to see Royle. As for the football I’m not expecting much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikejh45 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 So if Gardner doesn't play, does that put the armband on O'Grady? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
