Carabao Cup QF Draw - 22.12.2022

[phoneticerror]

Meh.

[Aus Fox]

It’s a decent tie, both teams will fancy their chances of winning. With Man City and Utd both looking like they should comfortably progress, it will become a tough competition to win. 
Bit if we can get past Newcastle and get Forest or Wolves in the semi - then I’d fancy us to make the final then who knows in a one off game.

[RowlattsFox]

Will be a big atmosphere as Newcastle sense an opportunity. We can definitely go there and win though.

[Koke]

Newcastle are currently a top 4 team for a reason. They're quite good. But not that good that we should be terrified of them..I'd rather play Newcastle than Man Utd despite the difference in league positions.

Guessing this is to be played on the Tuesday or Wednesday. Trust my boss to book me onto a first aid course on these dates  Thursday would be a dream but I doubt it with forest on the Saturday.. 

[taupe]

Not the best draw we could have got, nor the worst. Winnable (if only on penalties) but not easy. Not calling it.

[Nalis]

Do we think this go to general sale or will allocations be returned before it gets to that stage?

Will go to members (maybe booking history if the club fancy doing that).

[RonnieTodger]

I don’t think anyone is scared of them, it’s just a shit draw. Away to a decent side and it’s a bastard to get to.

I think the days of general sale are gone unless its a home cup game with 10k seats left.

Actually don't mind the draw as much as others tbh. Think it's better than drawing Man U/City and taking 7000 day trippers. Rather have 3000 who will contribute. Charlton away would have been nice however

[MS0204]

Is there likely to be a Thursday fixture or am I just hopeful? 

[Stuntman_Mike]

It's not the worst draw seeing as we are at the quarters stage and we've had a kind run so far.

 

They have all the momentum and we've been known to bottle it when it gets tough so I'm not overly confident but we've still got a great chance.

It's mental how much everyone ne on here wants to suck off the Geordies, they have had a good run recently but so have we.... It's embarrassing reading some of these lot 

I have a hunch that we'll lose to them on boxing day and win in the cup. I have no evidence for this of course, just pulling it out of my arse.

No chance, forest on the Saturday after

[Devonfox1884]

If we want to win this trophy then we can’t be scared of Newcastle away can we

 

There will be far bigger tests ahead than them if we were to get through I suspect.

[Stevosevic]

I find it extra annoying when you draw a team in the cup so close to the same league fixture.

That's what I'm hoping for also.

Uh. True. 

[Hammo]

We have a decent recent record up there (despite last season’s horror show). Yeah, it’s more of a challenge these days with what Newcastle have become, but they’ll be looking at our away form of late and fretting a bit, I imagine. And in any case they only just sneaked past Bournemouth.

 

At the moment I’d say they are only marginal favourites to progress… though of course that could change either way depending on what happens on Boxing Day.

Looking at the schedule there will be a Thursday game.. with United and city kicking off at 12.30 on the Saturday that’ll rule them out, so either this match or wolves/Forest might draw the short straw..

not sure a Thursday game will be required. Fulham v Chelsea already on tv that night

Man City has to be Wednesday as they play FA Cup on the Sunday.

 

The others could be any day really but I think there will be 2 Tuesday and then 2 Wednesday.

 

TV Fixtures should really be Forest vs Wolves and Man U vs Charlton, from an interesting match perspective. I reckon it will be:

 

Newcastle vs Leicester 19:45 Tuesday 10th

Man U vs Charlton 20:00 Tuesday 10th (SKY)

Forest vs Wolves 19:45 Wednesday 11th

Southampton vs Man City 20:00 Wednesday 11th (SKY)
