Burton Albion vs Aston Villa Carabao Cup 2nd Round Pre-Match Thread

[cdbearsfan]

Forest v Newcastle looks the tie of the round. A pretty dull draw.

This would've been a novelty three years ago but pretty boring draw. Should get through hopefully.

[Clampy]

A decent enough draw.

[QuintonVilla]

Crap draw all round. Not a single stand out tie.

I only care about the draw as it relates to one team. Don’t you?

Forest V Newcastle and Brighton V Southampton would be decent picks for being shown live. I am going for Villa to beat Norwich 1-0 in the final with a penalty before going on to clinch automatic promotion.

No, I like some good stand out or quirky ties to watch on the box aswell.
Forest Newcastle and Wimbledon West Ham nailed on to be on TV.

I think we will beat them with a goal in open play, like in 1975.

How come Wolves are in the draw? I thought clubs in Europe start in round three?

Genuine lol

[SoccerHQ]

From the others Wombles-West Ham is a decent enough game. Potential for shock so imagine that will be the TV pick.

[cdbearsfan]

Agreed. Forest v Newcastle and Wimbledon v West Ham will be the televised games, I reckon.

The most interesting thing about the northern part of the draw is that four current, or former (pre-1974) Staffordshire teams, being Wolves, Albion, Walsall and Stoke were each drawn against a team with a city/town ending in 'field', namely Sheffield, Mansfield, Macclesfield and Huddersfield. Well I thought it was interesting anyway.

I'm happy with Burton away.

Spare a thought for any poor bugger that decides to travel from Norwich to Cardiff, (should take the best part of a week)!
