Just looking at the matches, they all sound like dull opponents, so we can live in hope we'd get Pompey, home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huffton Posted 12 August, 2014 Share Posted 12 August, 2014 Tough one. Pompey away for maximum humiliation for the dirty inbred ****es in front of the bestest of the best, or pompey at home to make it as uncomfortable as possible for them and allow far more Saints fans to witness their utter humiliation.

The9 Posted 13 August, 2014 Share Posted 13 August, 2014 Are you mental? "Less confident" is reasonable, they're better (they have to be) and we're worse at this point - I mean it's the difference between winning by 8 and winning by 4 to me, but it's a reasonable revision of expectation.

Without being overly arrogant, we would murder them. They might huff and puff a bit and keep us on our toes for half an hour or so, but once the first goal went in the floodgates would open. Remember our L1 team against their overpaid megastars? It would be that, but with another division gap between the players abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_clark Posted 13 August, 2014 Share Posted 13 August, 2014 Are you mental? We've seen lower league teams beat Prem teams in the past, it's 'the magic of the cup'. And we have less players here now who understand how much it means - lambert and lallana really got how important it was and put in fantastic performances against the skates. I'm not sure pelle and tadic would understand quite so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrant Posted 13 August, 2014 Share Posted 13 August, 2014 The unseeded teams are "pre-drawn" into positions within the draw, which rather detracts from it a little bit, IMO. They should do it like UEFA did for the Champions League and Europa League draws last week: one pot of seeds, one pot of non-seeds, one empty pot; pick one from each pot and place into the empty one, then pick which is at home and away. Much fairer and more interesting, IMO. Anyway, draw numbers: SEEDED: 1. AFC Bournemouth 2. Aston Villa 3. Bolton Wanderers 4. Brighton & Hove Albion 5. Burnley 6. Crystal Palace 7. Derby County 8. Fulham 9. Leeds United 10. Leicester City 11. Manchester United 12. Middlesbrough 13. Newcastle United 14. Norwich City 15. Nottingham Forest 16. Queens Park Rangers 17. Reading 18. Southampton 19. Stoke City 20. Sunderland 21. Swansea City 22. Watford 23. West Bromwich Albion 24. West Ham United 25. Cardiff City (if they beat Coventry tonight) or Sheffield Wednesday (if Cardiff lose to Coventry) UNSEEDED: Birmingham City Bradford City Brentford Burton Albion Charlton Athletic Crawley Town Crewe Alexandra Doncaster Rovers Gillingham Huddersfield Town Leyton Orient Millwall Milton Keynes Dons Northampton Town Oxford United Port Vale Portsmouth Preston North End Rotherham United S****horpe United Shrewsbury Town Swindon Town Walsall Sheffield United or Mansfield Town (playing tonight) Sheffield Wednesday or Coventry City (Coventry play Cardiff tonight, if Cardiff win, Sheffield Wednesday are unseeded).

Chez Posted 13 August, 2014 Share Posted 13 August, 2014 We would tear the skates a new one, no 2 ways about it. lower league sides do win the odd game against superior opposition and as yet we don't know what our first team is going to be like. We might be woefully short. They have started brightly too. Boy am I a pessimist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 13 August, 2014 Share Posted 13 August, 2014 A 1:24 chance of drawing the Skates then, with the draw not regionalised. Also, in theory, as there's a pre-draw for the unseeded teams, they'll know if they are home or away before they actually find out who they are playing - though in practice I'm not sure if that information is revealed before the team comes up in the draw.

The9 Posted 13 August, 2014 Share Posted 13 August, 2014 I think it's remarkable that nowhere in the "Lge Cup R2 draw info" on the OS have they bothered to mention WHEN the next round is being played. Depending on my availability, I'd want us away to one of Burton Albion Crewe Alexandra Port Vale Mansfield Town because I haven't been to any of those grounds. Shrewsbury Town I'm going to in a few weeks anyway, and Rotherham United, Bradford City, Doncaster Rovers is probably a bit too far to be bothered on a week night (and yes, Mansfield and Crewe are also close to that line, which has to be drawn somewhere). Obviously the Skates are an exception to both my "been there before" and "going there in a few weeks anyway" rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc_saint Posted 13 August, 2014 Share Posted 13 August, 2014 Millwall Away...that'll be fun! Milwall away in the championship season was one of my best ever away games. 2 late pens from Lambert sealing a 3-2 win that went a long way to getting us promotion. And to the bedwetters saying it's not safe..... This is probabaly one of the safest away games you're ever likely to attend.
