Four rounds done by the start of October! When is the final, Guy Fawkes night ?

That made me lol (as the kids say).

It does all seem a bit rushed. Is there any need for it really?

With the reduced season, International and European fixtures there is no room in the calendar throughout OCt and Nov and most of Dec to fit it in. I quite like it but I’ve always been a fan of the League Cup.

Looks like the Villa match will be played Thursday 24th September. That's anything to go by on Sheffield Utd , Brighton playing their cup ties tomorrow who both played on Monday

Then the round 4 match Thursday 1st October.
Makes sense

Let's get Round 3 done with first.

Yes must negotiate the Weimann and Baker derby first !
I see Chris Martin has come in from the cold and now plays at Bristol City

Back in the 70s, they would play 3 games in 4 days over easter. 2nd replays in the cup, none of this knocking off early and going home after a quick penalty shoot out.

Gotta feel for Lee Johnson...when they played us away we had "two home ends" and now when they play us at home they have no home ends due to Covid...  ;D ;D ;D

They sacked him anyway so he'll probably be cheering us on.

I like it as well and wonder if they might do it again in future seasons.

They'll need to sort out the clashes with European qualifying rounds though.
