Why we are playing on a Wednesday? Tuesday is our normal midweek day and many of us plan our diaries around that. I have had to cancel another longstanding arrangement to go tomorrow. Tw*ts.
Ok I'll ask why not have the draw AFTER all matches have been played to cut out the ......... or ......... will play ......... or ........ oh I get it now it's the EFL so nothing is supposed to make sense !
6.45pm, Conor names an experimental side made up mainly of reserve players and academy kids. 7.22pm, the winner of the reds vs Fleetwood tie are drawn at Old Trafford.
Be positive we will make the 3rd round. PL team away like Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea, West Ham and Crystal Palace. Or Everton....
Think they're dark horses this year, built a very strong squad. They actually made 11 changes last night from their league game on Saturday. McCann is doing a top job on a small budget.
Doing very well, I dont think they'll be top 6 but I think they'll be comfortably midtable. In saying that, random results like this can just happen at times. Something we need to remember before everyone shitting their kegs after the first one.
I can't ever remember losing to them at home, though it may have happened. Overall record - P13 W7 D4 L2 Not too bad.
Lost at Oakwell in League One twice in 2015 (Feb 1-2/Oct 0-1) after a draw in our first meeting at Fleetwood. Since then, we've drawn once in the league and twice in the JPT and won the rest.
Should have done the North draw first...Also they usually put up on screen clubs and numbers so you know them.
