This thread has the potential to fall flat on its behind come this evening yet I'm still going to play along.

Ideally? Wycombe at home.

The reality? Chelsea away.

 

[MikeH72]

Arsenal away and we’ll go out to their reserves on pens. ‘Ton ‘ton ‘ton.

...erm, we have to beat Rotherham before we even think of the next round.

I’ve actually backed us to win this competition @ 20-1 which is also the kiss of death.

I just can't see it, unless we get a very kind draw. This cup is full of top division teams, and we can't win an away game.

This is a comp we should be targeting - no more sad line ups, full strength go out and win it. Other candidates/teams will all be involved in Europe, we should be able to go all the way in this - especially if we get through tonight and get a healthy home draw.

But let's just take it one game at a time and give the competition all the respect it does not deserve. This season is an opportunity for us to run up on the rails and nick a trophy.

its our year, to get knocked out early doors again

 

[mightymoyes]

whens the next draw?

 

[paulbefc]

Chelsea away by the 4th round, out in a 2-0 defeat.

Just accept it now.

 

[blue61]

I fear we'll never win the league cup.

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

.... To be honest, should we get through tomorrow, it wouldn't be the worst thing to play one of the top six in the next round (ideally at home, of course). They'll no doubt rest most of their first XI, and could be ripe for an upset.

 

[Moomin]

Rotherham will get Chelsea away in the next round.

I think Marco needs to be using tonight's game to continue to gel the team and work on his zonal marking system if that's what he's going to stick with. I'm sure there will be a few changes to the side but I'd definitely like to see as many of the first 11 starting as possible. Maybe a bit more time for Bernard and Digne to help fitness. Zouma should definitely come in to cover Keane's injury.

I don't think we'll have an easy game so I'll be happy with any kind of win tonight.

 

[OneTrueLegend]

Hopefully see Zouma and Bernard tonight, hoping for a win, but prepared that we may use it to try out the second string and get embarrassed by Rotherham
