League Cup 2nd Rd. Home v Burton

Recommended Posts

Apparently we still play at the walkers stadium! Sky clearly have no knowledge of any club below the premier league

How are they deciding who is at home and away? Dont get this draw

Isn't there some seeding system so half the draw will be drawn before?

Pleased with this. Should see us safely through.

Games played W/C August 27.

if the tickets are cheap £5-10 the crowd may be biggish, I don't know what Burton's away support is like, but I imagine Dierby County supporters probably have Burton Albion as their second team if they live in Burton so I imagine they will come in their numbers lol

Will be a reserve selection for this fixture I bet so the lower the better, its been too long since we were last League Cup Champions

Ugh. Hope we play a young / second string side. If we're making a serious bid for top four, people can't seriously want a cup run? Especially not in the league cup...

I work in Burton. A bloke here ( Burton season ticket holder ) has been praying for a home draw against us.

Just hope I'm still laughing after the match. I think I will be. I'm commiserating with him now.

If we're going to go out, let's go out to a better team than us.

Just don't think a home defeat to a side two divisions below us would be a positive.

Can't agree. League is priority obviously, everyone thinks that. But if our players are fit enough the odd extra game here and there will be fine to cope with. Plus if we do rotate slightly our bench is pretty damn strong. I don't want us embarrassing ourselves with youth players like Cardiff did yesterday though.

Burnley got to the Semi-Final of the League Cup the year they won promotion to the Premier League. A good cup run can be a positive, certainly it's a lot better for the team to have a good cup run than to get knocked out at home to Burton Albion.

Burton fan here, pleased with this draw. Good night out for us and I daresay it will not be 'easy' for you. Sheff United thought the same thing at the weekend at Bramall Lane (and they did play their full 1st team). Sure you should win the tie but if you put out kids or reserves I'd fancy our chances more often than not. Looking forward to it.

We have a lot of strength and everyone will need games, the second string midfield and frontline is awesome, we have enough young defenders too that will enjoy a run out.

As for Cardiff I thought they had 9 players out with international duty, so can't really blame them.

Why do Burton have to play away? Is it for all league cup matches or just because of scheduling?
