Barrow vs Aston Villa League Cup Rd 2 North - Tuesday, Aug 24th - 7.45pm

[Chris Smith]

Games like this are one of the few chances to give some of the youngsters and fringe players in a proper competitive games. If we don’t try them here then when?

[manic-road]

No Wesley tonight

[Legion]

Big beaming grin!

[berneboy]

It's a very inexperienced team. I hope Deano hasn't gone too far.

I've never been to Barrow before, which would feel the same as saying I've never been to a town 15 minutes after a thermo nuclear detonation. Jay-sus.

Reminds me of Grimsby away in the FA Cup in the 90s only less affluent.

The biggest disconnect between fans and club is the cup games
And it’s the same for every club in the Premier League

Fans want to win trophies, managers and management teams aren’t that bothered
They would take a higher league position than a trophy as is proved When the team sheets are read out
Most teams fuck about in the early stages and then if they’re lucky enough to get through like we were a couple years ago they start taking it seriously in the semi-final stage

Whatever team we put out tonight we should be good enough to beat Barrow ffs
Just get through I’m not bothered if we make heavy weather of it or if the performance is not spot-on couldn’t care less just get a win progress to the next round
If we lose they all need turfing out first thing next morning

Fans aren't that fussed about the League Cup these days. We like to pretend we're different but in reality we're the same as everyone else and you only have to look at the gates we get for proof. If we lose tonight it'll be forgotten by Saturday.

At this stage you’re right. However, get to the quarter finals and I think it gets a more important competition   to most

I think so. Realistically it's a competition we could win even if Man City have a recent monopoly. As a club, we have to be looking to win things, rather than shrugging our shoulders. Also it's a way into Europe even if nowadays it's the Conference one.

As happy as I am for Cam I'm surprised not to see Wes or Davis available.

Wes must have a injury. Davis is injured

[Mister E]

As happy as I am for Cam I'm surprised not to see Wes or Davis available.

Wes must have a injury. Davis is injured

or Wes is on the way out of B6   

[Rudy Can't Fail]

As happy as I am for Cam I'm surprised not to see Wes or Davis available.

Wes would have been in a punch up by now and sent off.

The last time we got to a semi-final a lot of posters on here were hoping we would lose as it was a distraction. That's how important it is.

Yep thinking about it you're right
it’s probably just me then
but I would want us to win something over league position as long as it wasn’t top four or bottom three were talking about

It’s different times now
