2024/25 Carabao Cup Thread

Well that will be a good couple of days out, even when we do get pumped.

 

[SaddlerJonny]

Leicester at home is well shit because we had them at home in the 3rd round of the FA Cup in 2023.

Yeah, beating Chelsea in their own back yard isn’t for everyone.

I don't know the numbers around it, but Grimsby seem to concede a lot of goals at home? Seems like they've conceded 4 or 5 a few times under Artell but I might be off with that.

You missed out a 6 as well

 

[クレイグ]

That's Grimsby keeping a clean sheet on Saturday then.

1-6 v Walsall
5-5 v Notts County
1-5 v Donny
1-5 v Wednesday
All within the last year.

We managed to score in each of the games though, so not all bad (apparently, according to Artell).

We do seem to have a habit of allowing other teams best players to roam the pitch unopposed so they can dictate play and pick us off at will.

our game against Chelsea has been confirmed as being on the 24th September

Over 2,000 sold for our trip so far.

 

[Super_horns]

Fleetwood obviously haven’t been practicing penalties !

 

[kieran_vale]

Flicked to watch the shootout in the hope of seeing the shit get embarrassed but when Fleetwood have got Mipo with his 50p shaped foot taking a pen in the first five it was never really on. Nice moonball from him.

2500 now I think

 

[chipmunx]

over 2600 sold, should be a good night out, whatever the result...

 

[kieran_vale]

Great going for a midweek fixture that with the distance too. Hopefully Barrow fans can at least get a goal to celebrate.

That's it with those ties, virtually unwinnable but to have that "Moment" like with us at the Etihad and Pope and its memorable.

Hope you do better than us when we last went to Stamford Bridge.

 

[BarraMatt]

Chelsea's second string will still be worth about £600 million.

 

[Meadow]

Our home match tomorrow has been moved to their ground next Tuesday. Not ideal but at least the match gets played. As a result our scheduled home league match against Crewe is off.

That sounds like a win to me, trip to St James Park not to be sniffed at and a big payday too.

Their tickets are apparently £5 cheaper and we have to refund a sellout crowd and lose any catering/booze income. That said, the crowd will be bigger so we'll gain on gate receipts.

Hopefully Newcastle donate the full proceeds to you.

 

[GTFCfish]

It shows how crazy the games gone when League 2 teams are charging £5 more for tickets than Premier League teams.

 

[kieran_vale]

Chelsea look like they mean business early on. One thing Barrow would have been hoping to avoid with the early goal for Chelsea. Brilliant pass from Joao Felix though.

The barrow right back was caught sleeping to play him on for the first goal. Poor defending.

 

[GTFCfish]

Barrow making a much better fist of going ‘under the radar’ in the cup than they are doing in the league.

 

[northstandexile]

But will Barrow score a goal and brag about it like Chesterfield did. They kept going on about it and they never let us here the last of it after that goal at Stamford Bridge.

Fucking Mickey Mouse Tinpot trophy. De valued by allowing Champions league teams a Home Draw
Change the game to the week after said European games and they then take the piss by selecting there B team
This is the trophy that should be boycotted not the EFL Trophy.
