Lots of changes presumably, as will Albion
Bonham
Macari, Wilmot, McNally, Tymon
Thompson, Laurent Johnson
Ciquinho Wes and Brown?
Something like that

Something like that Give Sidibe a start instead of Laurent and I’d be happy with that team as things stand. I’d only do that because it’s a great time to give him a chance. I thought Laurent was very decent today. |

Fucking pointless game and an even more pointless competition. Throw it in the sea Didn't feel that way when Arnautovic scored/ Van Ginkel missed/ Joe Allen scored at Anfield in January 2016... It felt like the bottom of the bastard world had fallen out! The chances of Wembley cup visits/ glory are slim but taking it away takes away any hope of silverware whatsoever... |

The fans! No one wants to see these games it’s diluted to nothing. I say do away with the Carabao Cup and get the FA Cup back to its former glory. I think you misunderstand what I’m getting at. I want these competitions to draw big crowds with teams wanting to win it with huge incentives to progress. |

I’m not interested in the big clubs and the elite but I want to see teams playing their best sides in a competition that means something to every team playing in it |

I want these competitions to draw big crowds with teams wanting to win it with huge incentives to progress. The Carabao (League) Cup was about when the FA Cup was enjoying its ‘former glory’. The League Cup isn’t the cause of any devalue that the FA Cup is currently suffering from. Crowds have never been huge in the early rounds, but if any club gets a bit of a run together, interest soon catches on. It is our only major trophy and I don’t want that devalued. I’ve got a ticket for WBA, so I guess that means I want to see it. |

The cup may have been devalued over recent seasons. Though it gave Souttar and Nathan Collins game time they may have not had behind the centre halves we had at the time. Which resulted in Souttar becoming a regular when some were saying he was not good enough and should be got rid off. It makes you wonder where we would be if were not able to sell them players on when we did.

The thing that pisses me off with the cup is it’s straight away as soon as the season starts.
I wanted to see us dish out some more league dickings before a cup game.

I think that the league cup has lost a lot of its allure because it’s so boring watch Man City win it. They’ve won it 5x since 2016.
I really liked it in the 2000s but the likelihood of another Leicester vs Tranmere now is so low.

It’s a shame that it doesn’t really seem possible for say, a Burnley, to lift it anytime soon though. |

Take it as it is... in the early rounds it's an opportunity for some fringe players, or new players to show what they can do and get some minutes under their belts.
If you get to the later rounds then you begin to take it a bit more seriously and put out a stronger side.
I expect Wesley, Chiquinho, Tymon, McNally, Thompson, Bonham, Sidibe, etc to get some serious game time. Maybe also Onomah if he signs by then.

Do we think it’s likely Sidibe will play?
I want to go the game but with the new added time it will be difficult to get home without leaving early but if Sidibe starts then it makes it worth it I think.
