League Cup Draw 2017-2018

[Uncle Leo]

Charlton got drawn against Cheltenham AND Exeter. Tough going, that.

Donald Trump did do the draw, after all! :smile:

Yep - 11 against 22 - I'd stick 2 in goal, possibly 5 in defence and midfield and then put 10 up front. Get a 2 goal cushion and then bring off some of the forwards for midfielders and keep it tight. Presumably there will be 6 subs as well?

Think we will draw a big crowd for this one:'( maybe 1800 if we are lucky:nope:

 

[Kevin Hogg]

Biggest draw of the round.
Survivors of the non-league drop v League 1 Champions Elect.
Is all about perception.

 

[Fiftyone]

Happy with that , maybe get past the first round this year :hilarious:

Not with Phil Brown as manager, he hates cup competitions, will probably field the youth team in this game:winking:

 

[South Bank Hank]

Away to Newport hardly regional is it

It is when it's at home.

 

[Floval Flyer]

Confirmed by Newport as a home game due to their pitch being relaid. Good news. Good opportunity to get into the second round.

Hope Newport sack that groundsman !

If the club has any sense they will make it very cheap for season card holders to try and tempt 3k+. It's a crap cup but we could have a decent run In it. I'd be well happy to dispatch Newport and get the hammers away in round 2.

It's good to get up and running with a couple of wins under the belt - we have started rather poorly for a number of seasons (someone will now show this not to be true ............) and I am hoping for better and getting a win in the league cup will do no harm ................. well, can it be worse than losing to Gillingham twice in 4 days? :sad: :'(

 

[AndyT]

Yeovil or Newport at home please.......

Nearly....Newport (a)

I think you can claim an unofficial correct prediction trophy, in the end! :thumbsup:

Newport's new pitch isn't ready...

 

[RHB]

Newport County and the 1st round of the Carabao Cup and Frank

There may already be a thread on this, but Newport's latest signing will add a little zing and interest to the proceedings. The Exiles are proudly presenting Frank Nouble in their ranks.

My best mate in Australia is a Wet Spam supporter and he always thought there was a very good player in Frank Nouble when he was with them. Im sure when we play Newport he will want to show you he can play, just a shame he didnt produce for us.
I wish him well but not against us .

Newport will be the 15th club he has played for since joining West Ham 8 years ago so I don't think it's just us he failed to produce for !

 

[SeaSideDoughnut]

Tickets for this game are priced like it's the Checka-a-Trade tinpot, very surprised by them. Lets hope for a wee cup run!

Love the optimism of the "-2018" part of this thread title...
