Scheduling for that game could be an issue, ties set to be played w/c 25th September. We play Sunderland on the 24th and Blackburn play Leicester on the 29th.

A favourable draw and who knows what might happen? 2012 was great until we blew the penalties :-/

We'd be in the last 16 if we win.

Re: Worthington Cup Third Round Draw

If the criteria for a poor draw was:
Same league
Away
Far away
Likely to beat us

It hasn’t turned out too well.

6 balls still to draw after us.
3 of which were Man City, Liverpool and Newcastle.

So underwhelming.

So underwhelming.

At least we avoided them.

No Eric.

They avoided us.

Bet all three are breathing a sigh of relief tonight.

Re: League Cup fixture problem??

Sunday 24th September
Sunderland v Cardiff

Friday 29th September
Blackburn v Leicester

So do we play Sunday / Tuesday, or do Blackburn play Wednesday/Friday?

Wouldn't be surprised if one of the league games get moved, but failing that Blackburn hopefully forced to play Wednesday/Friday and they field a very weak team for the cup game.

Having now said that, we'll be playing on the Tuesday :hehe:

Sunderland v Cardiff has already been moved to give the SoL an extra 24 hours to recover from an England Women's game on the Friday night. Blackburn v Leicester brought forward for Sky.

I imagine it’ll be the Tuesday. Blackburn won’t want to play Wednesday / Friday

Why would we want to play Sunday/Tuesday? They're at home for both, whilst we're away for both which is also a significant factor.

As the home team I’m sure they can come up with a reason as to why Ewood Park is unavailable on the Wednesday

Re: League Cup fixture problem??

Blackburn v Leicester has been moved to Sunday 1st October. So that should allow for Blackburn v Cardiff in the Carabao Cup to be played on Wednesday 27th September.

Re: League Cup fixture problem??

The Blackburn site has the game scheduled for Tuesday 26th. Is this likely to be moved to the following day?

All times are GMT. The time now is 01:36.
