EFL Cup 2nd round draw

well the southern section has been drawn

here we go
fleetwood travel to leicester homecoming for vardy
and us home to macclesfield

Great draw :+1:

Great chance to make round 3 there.

Macc lads - a good chance to progress and draw a big club

Was hoping for Villa or West Brom and was looking likey for a while.

Typical Walsall cup draw, hopefully will play better v them than two seasons ago!

Last season we would have been looking at it as a potential banana skin :wink:

Instead of thinking we will probably go out we are thinking about who would we like in Round 3!

And there, ladies & gentlemen, is the difference this season!

I just like the title of this thread…2nd Round Draw…different season already!
As Chunkster says, a home tie against lowly opposition no longer thought of as a banana skin.

Sorry FHTF your almost identical post appeared as I was typing!
But yes, possibly round 3, we would really be spoilt!

Thats alright AM, sorry Worsul4eva, its nice to agree for once :wink:

Walsall vs Macclesfield

Hopefully revenge for the embarrassing 1st round defeat of November 2016

Happy with that. A great chance to progress and have an even better chance of playing a ‘big’ side. Can’t really ask for better than the two lowest ranked sides in the first two rounds!

Home tie and a decent opportunity to progress. Chuffed!

Depends what team he puts out. We can’t get complacent. I would go for the win with a full strength team.

We haven’t beaten 'em yet!

They’ve knocked us out of cups twice in fairly recent years.

Also, there’s a third round??? :thinking::laughing:

I predict a gate of around 2500. :unamused:

They beat Bradford so ain’t gonna be a push over

Not sure how much of a first team Bradford City put out in that game though … Richard O’Donnell (remember him?) was on the bench. Score at 90 minutes was 1-1, and Macc went through 4-2 on penalties.

Last season i would have agreed 100% but we have a different set up now, and in another few months i would feel confident that we could give ANYONE a good game, win or lose, there is an air of confidence and a wanting to win attitude in this team that i haven’t felt for some time, takes me back to the good old giant killing days of the 80’s and 90’s :laughing:
