League Cup Rd 3 Draw - Leicester City (H) again!

Not sure why people are moaning about the draw.

It’s a Premier League club at home. It could have been much worse. Barrow away anyone?

We could pull off an upset here - unlikely but certainly more likely than doing so with an away tie to Manchester City for example.

I’m not too disappointed with the draw; you never know what might happen.

The Wombles knocked out Ipswich; why can’t we knock out Leicester? We’ve done it before.

It’s a fantastic draw and for those of us who missed out on the commemorative panoramic photos last time surely the club won’t miss a trick and we will have the opportunity to buy again. It’s an incredibly tough game but it’s probably the most winnable game against EPL opposition and a chance for us to create history.

Surely a full house too, Leicester will sell out behind the goal and half down the side. A chance to slay another higher division giant under the lights at home, what’s not to like?

It’s a decent draw as you’d think they’d send a shadow squad. Last time out they had to use a decent squad to put us away with a deflected goal.

The front of someone from Loughborough saying this about a visit to Walsall, what a wally! :see_no_evil:

Don’t know why people are disappointed - this is a good draw.
Home tie against prem opposition with a chance to progress.
Ground should be pretty full and noisy. I’m sure we’ll play our strongest side whereas they probably wont. Let’s save our away match to one of the big sides for the next round. Come on lads! You can do this!

and people complain there not a big club . There giants compared to at least 70+ other clubs .

Yeah? That would have been shit too. It doesn’t make Leicester again less shit.

They’re already getting the excuses in!

don’t forget they won the fa cup as well

If we hadn’t already played this tie out in the FA Cup last year, I think not many people would be complaining.

However should we pull it off … almost guaranteed an even bigger draw next round. Can’t see any of the big boys going out looking at that fixture list.

I find drinking in moderation to be really beneficial.

It is better though, right? It could also have been a league 1 or championship team away which would have been worse too.

It could have been better than literally the worst option? Yeah, that would still be shit :joy: My point is it doesn’t make this less shit. We’ve got to the third round of the league cup in a draw rigged so euro teams can’t play against each other.

I think we do them and get into the 4th Round …

Your opinion but I disagree. It’s not that bad and on a good day we could win it.

This is better for lower league teams like ourselves gives you a better chance of drawing one of the bigger teams.

What makes it better than the FA cup tie against them is simple…
It’s under the lights games at home under the floodlights can create a special atmosphere at Bescot imho

Oh yeah totally, I’m just explaining why it’s even more disappointing to get Leicester again.

Let’s be real, it’s just not :joy: No amount of floodlights will make that the case.
