Happy Fox Posted 12 June 2011 Posted 12 June 2011 http://www.southendunited-mad.co.uk/feat/edy4/southend_united_unseeded_for_carling_cup_first_round__draw_680993/index.shtml? The first round draw of the Carling Cup 2011/12 takes place on Thursday, June 16th, 24 hours before the League fixtures are announced, and S24 will bring it to you as the last team comes out of the hat. As usual the first stage is split into North and South and then seeded depending on the club's league position at the end of last season. Now, as I've got some time on my hands at the moment, a touch of food poisoning, thank you Wahaca's, I thought I'd have a go at working out where the teams should go, so apologies if there's an error, everything will be confirmed before the day, but we are certainly unseeded while Orient and Colchester should be, so those games would be on, as could be the Hammers, or even Neil Harris facing Millwall! The seeded sides in the South should be: West Ham, Swansea City, Cardiff City, Reading, Millwall, Ipswich Town, Watford, Bristol City, Portsmouth, Crystal Palace, Brighton & Hove Albion, Southampton, MK Dons, AFC Bournemouth, Leyton Orient, Exeter City, Colchester United, Brentford. North: Blackpool, Nottingham Forest, Leeds United, Burnely, Barnsley, Leicester City, Hull City, Middlesbrough, Coventry City, Peterborough United, Derby County, Doncaster Rovers, Preston North End, Sheffield United, Scunthorpe United, Huddersfield Town, Rochdale, Carlisle United. The un-seeded sides in the South should be: Charlton Athletic, Yeovil Town, Dagenham & Redbridge, Bristol Rovers, Plymouth Argyle, Swindon Town, Wycombe Wanderers, Stevenage, Torquay United, Gillingham, Oxford United, Southend United, Aldershot Town, Cheltenham Town, Hereford United, Barnet, Crawley Town, AFC Wimbledon. North: Sheffield Wednesday, Hartlepool United, Tranmere Rovers, Notts County, Walsall, Chesterfield, Bury, Shrewsbury Town, Accrington Stanley, Bradford City, Burton Albion, Crewe Alexandra, Macclesfield Town, Morecambe, Port Vale, Rotherham United, Northampton Town.
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 12 June 2011 Posted 12 June 2011 Away at Notts County in the cup would be good. Though i'll put money on Macclesfield again. Sheff Wed at home would be the only decent game to get at home really.
shailen Posted 12 June 2011 Posted 12 June 2011 I actually didnt know they seeded teams in round 1, or split them into a north/south divide. I thought it was all random. Does this mean that all championship clubs cannot draw another championship club or a league 1/2 club will draw a championship/top league 1 side
StanSP Posted 12 June 2011 Posted 12 June 2011 Just looking back at last year's draw for first round, no Championship teams played each other, so I think they do avoid each other.
Corky Posted 12 June 2011 Posted 12 June 2011 All the Championship teams are seeded so they can't play each other in the 1st round.
Guest Bilo Posted 12 June 2011 Posted 12 June 2011 Rovrum or Wednesday away for the obligatory visit to the Dev Cat. Will get Morecambe at home though.
The Doctor Posted 12 June 2011 Posted 12 June 2011 Morecambe away would be alright. Would love burton albion away though.
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 12 June 2011 Posted 12 June 2011 I actually didnt know they seeded teams in round 1, or split them into a north/south divide. I thought it was all random. Does this mean that all championship clubs cannot draw another championship club or a league 1/2 club will draw a championship/top league 1 side I think its done by having all the teams that finished in the Championship and most of the top half in League 1 as being seeded. Though think there is usually the odd team in the Championship who gets a bye so it is almost done like that.
Guest Bilo Posted 12 June 2011 Posted 12 June 2011 Morecambe away would have some potential. Midweek drunken action.
Asha Posted 12 June 2011 Posted 12 June 2011 I think its done by having all the teams that finished in the Championship and most of the top half in League 1 as being seeded. Though think there is usually the odd team in the Championship who gets a bye so it is almost done like that. It's definitely seeded in that way, and with a north-side divide too (as in the post higher up the page). And yes, Birmingham City and Blackpool should be getting a bye - as Hull and Burnley did last year.
Dan Posted 12 June 2011 Posted 12 June 2011 There's a mistake. There's currently 18 teams for seeded Southern, seeded Northern and unseeded Southern, but only 17 for unseeded Northern. Swansea are on seeded Southern, and they shouldn't be on that as they are in the Premier, so there should be only 17 seeded Southern there. They'd therefore have to move one of them teams from them lists from north to south, and by my working out they'd either move Coventry to southern, or Cheltenham to northern. As this would balance the UN/SN, and the SS/US. And Coventry are currently the most southern SN side, whilst Cheltenham are the most northern US. Congrats to anyone who followed that confusing, and in the end pointless info.
Dan Posted 12 June 2011 Posted 12 June 2011 Oh and I'd fvcking LOVE Notts Co/Burton away. Would also be happy with Accrington, Sheff Weds, Walsall, Northampton or Port Vale away.
Father Ted Posted 15 June 2011 Posted 15 June 2011 Bump. Carling Cup first round draw tomorrow. League fixtures in two days. I'm predicting Macclesfield at home first round
Dan Posted 15 June 2011 Posted 15 June 2011 Hartlepool at home prediction from me, naff draw but more or less a bye.
DB11 Posted 15 June 2011 Posted 15 June 2011 Hartlepool at home prediction from me, naff draw but more or less a bye. Bit disrespectful
lcfc"weasel" Posted 15 June 2011 Posted 15 June 2011 I'll be optimistic and say we'll get Burton Albion away in the CC1.
Dan Posted 15 June 2011 Posted 15 June 2011 Bit disrespectful Oh sorry. Leicester 1-2 Hartlepool, respect the opposition.
DB11 Posted 15 June 2011 Posted 15 June 2011 Oh sorry. Leicester 1-2 Hartlepool, respect the opposition. Yeah, cos that's what I meant If you go into a game with the mindset that it may as well be a bye, then I'm sure it won't fire up the other team to produce the above result.
Dan Posted 15 June 2011 Posted 15 June 2011 Yeah, cos that's what I meant If you go into a game with the mindset that it may as well be a bye, then I'm sure it won't fire up the other team to produce the above result. Ah, and there was me forgetting I'm manager.
DB11 Posted 15 June 2011 Posted 15 June 2011 Ah, and there was me forgetting I'm manager. You don't make any sense at all. I'm going to stop replying to you.
Dan Posted 15 June 2011 Posted 15 June 2011 You don't make any sense at all. I'm going to stop replying to you. Well it obviously isn't a bye is it, that was a joke you clown. And the manager comment, "if you go into the game with a mindset it's a bye", well done, I'm not manager.
