Carabao (League) Cup Draw

[Tomo]

Morning all, couldn't see a thread for this so just a reminder that the draw for the 1st round is today at 1pm. For anyone watching (live on iFollow), we're ball 32. Possible sides we can be drawn against:

 

Barnsley, Blackburn, Bolton, Bradford, Burton, Derby, Fleetwood, Leeds, Nottingham Forest, Preston, Rochdale, Rotherham, Scunthorpe, Sheffield United, Sheffield Wednesday, Sunderland, Wigan.

 

A few there I would like away (Blackburn/Burton/Derby/Leeds), any at home aside from Fleetwood/Rotherham/Scunthorpe/Rochdale would be nice though too.

Leeds at home as Sky love Leeds so surely would get on tv!

For anyone watching, this is a complete mess & Charlton appear to have been drawn twice...

It gives them a chance to progress

So yeah, checked & Charlton are at home to Cheltenham, but also away to Exeter...they even put it up on the board after.

 

Edit: According to BBC live text, should be Oxford United v Cheltenham, but there's no sound on the draw stream so can't confirm...

Leeds away!

How much better would that have been if we were drawn at home?!

 

Speaking of which, how is the home/away pot worked, in terms of what proportion of home and away balls are in that bowl? Is it split half and half?

Couldn't really make out what was happening, but I assume a H/A was drawn randomly (half & half?), then a seed, then a non-seed. Worst draw I've ever seen, & that's aside from the huge balls up with Charlton.

I see that Leeds have just appointed a new foreign manager (/head coach) - BBC link. Never heard of him!

Brings back memories of the epic FA cup match at Elland Road. Go for it!!!!!

You were close - pity there are no replays in this competition.

Could our improved(?) squad win at Leeds?

They only won two of their last ten games.

[Rampant Zebra]

Probably best, didn't they wreck the away end last time they were at Vale Park.
