EFL CUP - Championship clubs |
|

Quote from BBC website: |
|
"Fourteen Championship sides played lower-league opposition in |
|
the first round and, after all nine second-tier sides lost |
|
matches against lower-ranked clubs on Tuesday, only Blackburn |
|
and Rotherham managed to avoid shocks on Wednesday." |
|
Speaks volumes to how "seriously" they treat this competition! |
|
Only bonus is there are a lot of L1 vs Prem ties in Round 2 - |
|
just hope it's first teams and not L1 vs Prem Reserves. |

I remember for so many years wanting to reach the 3rd round of |
|
the FA cup hoping for a lucrative big team tie, rarely got |
|
there. We played Arsenal one season and it literally financed |
|
our entire season. I hated how the big teams played their �cup |
|
team� though. First season in the prem and my team became that |
|
disrespectful prem club 😔 |
|
I hope a lower league team go on and win both cups, they are |
|
more deserving, imo. |

|
The seeding also doesn't seem to help the lower league clubs |
|
when it comes to teams in the Midlands. |
|
Walsall have been put in the south group, yet Villa, Wolves and |
|
West Brom are all in the north group, so Walsall miss out on the |
|
chance of a local derby despite being more northerly than both |
|
Villa and West Brom geographically |

Birmingham were also in the south group as well, despite being |
|
in the same region as the likes of Villa, Wolves etc. Just |
|
baffling. |

Hopefully the trend will carry on and you will only send your |
|
U18's for the next round. :) |

Some of the lower clubs also made wholesale changes. Last night |
|
Sheff Wed and and Sunderland both made massive changes and |
|
Wednesday blew Sunderland away. |

I�m very happy with Crawley V Fulham� a reasonable journey by |
|
car to get to the Broadfield� |
|
We will probably end up getting Stroud as referee 🙄 |
