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

[Legion]

I'd like to see a repeat of the Crewe game from two years ago.

We’re not going to be “humiliated” for crying out loud.

This is the standard “no win” situation for us. Everyone laughs at us if we lose, no credit at all if we win.

We just need a good run out, a win, and get out.

Just checked. My holidaying brother's still not cancelled his Now sky sports. Marvellous.

Remember someone posting on the forum a year or two back with a location that was something like:

"Underneath the waves in a grey deadly killing machine"

Wonder if his "home" had been built in Barrow?

Any loss in any capacity to barrow is humilation.  You cant try dismiss that we wont lose but it sometimes happens.

Obviously its unlikely and we should win easily but shocks do happen

That is exactly what the doctor is ordering. Barrow apparently play expansive game too

[Legion]

Humiliation was the relegation season.

Humiliation was the relegation season.

Exactly the teams alot better this year so thats why its worse if we lose tonight. Lets hope we win with ease.


I really hope big wes starts and gets a goal to boost his confidence

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

Am already counting down the minutes to when I have to leave. Driving up so going to be a late night but can’t wait.

I'm on coach from VP and that's not leaving till 14:45......seems too late to me that does.

It does a bit.

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
