My guess… Exeter Away

[Former Labour leader]

Blackburn away

[City123]

Well that's a little dull

[Former Labour leader]

Very underwhelming and a long midweek trip oop North

[Michael Morris]

Blackburn away

[Der Kaiser]

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.

[Bobby Dandruff]

Yeah but beatable and then we’d be in the quarter finals.

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.

[Dave Blue]

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

It hasn’t turned out too well.

[J R Hartley]

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

So underwhelming.

[Eric the Half a Bee]

So underwhelming.

At least we avoided them.

[Carl Dale's Mole]

Ugh.

[Elwood Blues]

At least we avoided them.

No Eric.

They avoided us.

Bet all three are breathing a sigh of relief tonight.

[Des Parrot]

We beat them on the way to the final last time, think positive

[Michael Morris]

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

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.

[BLUETIT]

Split the difference, 07.45 Wednesday morning

[Grangenders]

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

[Der Kaiser]

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

[Michael Morris]

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.

[The Prophet of Doom]

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