Wycombe Wanderers away Carabao Cup match day thread

[W-S-M Seagull]

Disappointed to not have a glamour tie but wow what an opportunity to do what we did a few years ago! Most Championship sides are out. I think it's 7 prem clubs that will go out?

An awful lot of all Prem games. 

Could be a fantastic opportunity to progress through to the later rounds of the competition this year. 

I can picture it now... "Still life in this perhaps for Bristol City, In by Conway, it's Scottttttt".

In the final, at Wembley to win the trophy and obtain European football at last?!

But this is a decent draw? Winnable game.

Still lots of smaller teams in it.

If we can get past Lincoln could have Stevenage/Charlton or MK Dons/Morecombe to get in the last 8 

Lots of Ifs but…

[Brann-red]

City should price it low and pack the stadium .. £10 everywhere and a few quid for kids ..  it’s a bonus game . But get as many fans in as possible 

[ralphindevon]

After the initial disappointment Lincoln will be thinking this is a tie they can win.

Just for balance

Why is it never Arsenal/Chelsea/Spurs

Haven't played those for years and years, the Arse since 1980

It's a great draw.  A game we should win.  7 all premier games so at least 4 sides in the last 16 not EPL, probably 5 or 6.  Nicely set up for us if you ask me.  Win and we'll be playing someone just after the WC , so if it's EPL, they will be a bit rusty.

Crikey, the third round won't be played until Tuesday 8th, or Wednesday 9th November!

The midweek before the break, how many prem clubs will be on instruction to not play any international players

FFS, do we EVER get a decent draw?

In the early stages, probably we will never do it.

Derby gets Liverpool, Newport gets Leicester, Blackburn gets EL finalist West Ham and Bristol City geeets...Lincoln City!  

At least it's at home...

You did that on a match thread the other day, saying the opposition had equalised when they hadn’t.

You’re either pretty unfunny or ******* odd, aren’t you?

He's going to take us up, and win the Carabao Cup, Viva Grumpy Nige

[Better Red]

A chance to give the squad another run out and keep people match sharp.

[Southbristolred1]

Decent draw- but let’s not get carried away like the 17/18 season. That cup run took a lot out of us especially in the 2nd half of the season.

 I don’t understand people.  I want to see us progress as far as possible in this competition.  Give me a lower division club at home any day of the week.  Cracking draw!

[Robbored]

My lower league favourite club. Lincoln is a lovely City - but the games is at AG.

3 wins on the trot and 3 semis - you need to control your excitement better ralph! 

How will you  manage if we go all the way?

I’m not gonna lie, it might be the end of me.

But what a way to go!

Fiver a kid and twenty an adult is probably more realistic.

But I agree, they should try and make it affordable.

Just for balance, an awful lot of Premiership sides left in it, no massive shocks so far. As many as 12 I think of the last 16 could be premiership. Not a single one of the buggers drawn away either (other than the all premiership ties).

Just win the next, get to the last 16 and see where it takes us.

 

[Out of his pie crust]

You could sit in the away end? 

[OliOTIB]

dont know how to feel to be honest, wanted a big killer at home but is what it is. should be in theory a easy last 16 pass.

The road to the Man Utd and ManCity games we played Palace I think and that was about £20 from memory

Three wins on the bounce and another three points at Blackpool and we’ll be getting carried away! 

It’s great to have the feel good factor back at the club.

I’ve put him on ignore too. My first.

Did anyone just hear Aaron Paul on five live? Thinks Nige is on the verge of doing what Nige has done when he’s stressed in the past. Basically Nige laughed when depth of squad was mentioned - that was it (was the same interview on Radio Bristol)

Is the Lincoln game on the red button?
