Away to Plymouth who spanked us 4-0 on our home patch in the comp last season & I expect the same again with the club placing more importance in the Papa John's than this tournament & will play mostly a reserve team . Despite Plymouth's home banker , can't see past City , it's Peps to lose
Norwich away. Close the thread.. Needs 22/23 added to the thread title. Baggies fans can’t even get that right..

Why did Cambridge United & Millwall play a week earlier than everyone else? I saw the result on Tuesday and figured the rest of the round would follow yesterday. It looks like everyone else is playing next week?
We wanted to treat it as part of our pre-season build up as many in the squad had yet to have 90 minutes in the friendlies. Gary Rowett was happy to go along with it. It was an option for everyone but a sign of the detail applied by our coaching team that they saw the opportunity and took it. The result was a bonus - in that we probably have our best squad of 18 - 20 players that I've seen at the club and the back-ups aren't really backups (apart from 3 or 4 positions) they are alternatives depending on the opposition and need to rotate. A win with 9 changes gives a lot of re-assurance.
Posh has sold a massive 110 as of 10 o'clock Monday morning for the trip down the road to Plymouth on Wednesday which is 88 less than they've sold for the trip down the road to Plymouth on Saturday Tin pot support
Feel for you guys , you've had a shit decade tbf , do SISU still own you ? Shame you can't build your own ground & be done with it .
We shouldn't have many problems tonight at home to Salford. We are full of confidence right now and a decent cup run this year would be nice.
Brum tonight and other than a couple of new signings that are almost certainly starting I have no idea how we'll be lining up. I'm guessing we'll go for a half and half team and lose 2 - 1. Gunn Tomkinson - Hanley - Gibson - McCallum Ramsey - McLean - Sara Sargent - Hugil - Hernandez
Dixon G. Jones - Aimson - Johnston - John MJ Williams K. Lee - Thomason Sadlier Bodvarsson - Kachunga Something like that. Somewhat second string but also a pretty strong side. 3-1 Wanderers.
Enjoy your night . When we go racing at Great Yarmouth we sit on Norwich train station looking out on Carrow Road & the big Holiday Inn sign .
On Sky Sports News every reporter they're going to are saying so & so have made 9 changes or however many from the weekend etc... good chance to give the 2nd string a run out or a joke competition ?
I think at this early stage it is a good chance to give your second string a run out, keep everyone happy. There are gonna be some clubs who see it as a joke though but hey....i'd take it in Boltons trophy cabinet.
