Checkatrade round two possible opponents.

[C.ra.ig]

Why is this even a thread, it'c clearly going to be Walsall. 3 Weeks running, only the Barnsley game inbetween.

 

[J_169]

Its clearly gonna be Walsall, we all know it. Playing them 3 times in the space of a few weeks - some might say that's almost coincidental...

Ironically some will.

The only thing ironic about that song, is that a song called ironic doesn't have a single bit of irony within it

That's like saying it's a bliddy free ride when you've already f***ing paid

As daft as it sounds the u21 sides should exit at the group stage.

Then theyve gained that experience and the lower league clubs can carry on THEIR competition.

A good cup in the eyes of many no doubt before it was shafted like this.

how many of the 16 u-23 sides have made it through though ?

Ironically some will.

when is next round like, December ??

That's just stupidity... who the fuck pays for a free ride?

It's like rain on your wedding day. It's not ironic at all... it's just unfortunate.
It'd only be ironic if the couple getting married were weather forecasters

Having won our group (group A) we will face a runner-up from group E, F, G or H, so potential opponents will be.

Walsall, Oldham, Doncaster, Notts County or Lincoln. Doncaster and Notts County play each other tonight for the runner-up spot in their group.

Doncaster hopefully best chance of getting knocked out.

 

[The Great MES]

Wrong marra, quarters onwards are mixed according to efl website.

I thought it goes all the way to Northern final/Southern final, then the trophy final at Wembley?

 

[The Warehouseman]

That’s my understanding as well unless they’ve changed it?

 

[Rip Van Fish]

Walsall would be ironic.

Virtually certain to happen mate

I thought it goes all the way to Northern final/Southern final, then the trophy final at Wembley?

I thought it was straight knockout all the way with the last 32 being regionalised then it’s totally random after that

 

[EternallySAFC]

When do we find out?

 

[Patch]

Its clearly gonna be Walsall, we all know it. Playing them 3 times in the space of a few weeks - some might say that's almost coincidental...

And they still won't have made any kind of preparation for our reputation, once again.

 

[Deleted member 29601]

When do we find out?

Friday. It's live on Talksport 2. Not sure what time though.

 

[wackyjacky]

Doncaster hopefully best chance of getting knocked out.

Doncaster lost 4-2 at Notts County so I think County have pipped them to 2nd spot on GD.
