    No change from last season - can't kill games off. Cant get a 2nd that could lead to a 3rd. Instead we let one in & then usually lose. 1-0 up at Wimbledon last week & lost that one. Expect to do the same today.
    Do we really want to kill these two games off?
    Maybe not last weeks but certainly this one. This is the League Cup. 2nd biggest cup competition in the UK.Wembley final & a place in Europe. Tis is no micky mouse competition. Might get a Premier League side in the next round or 2.
    Whoopdie Doooo

    Apart from being a chance to blood in any new signings its nothing more than a distraction

    Well, if you don't care much about it why  are you posting on this thread.

    Weird.
  • Gilbey looks very tidy on the ball... Really good at carrying it forward
  • 2-1... Charlie Barker!!
  • Not a great game but enjoying watching Gilbey, looks like a classy player.

    Is there extra time or straight to penaltys? If it gets that far.

    Wonder whether Barker could make that centre half spot his own! 

    Recon he could really step up- has he been with us long?
  • Barker! Go on lad

    Also scoring goals & winning is a habit. 
    Agree with the winning breeding confidence but getting through and playing a premier league side means nothing really, as there are zero gate receipts.

    No change from last season, still moaning ;) 
  • How long will be able to hold onto this lad for? Sold at Christmas if he carries on like this!
  • Barker has really impressed me all game. Can see him playing a part this season

    Because its a Charlton game... Obviously

    I'm just realistic and know we cant win every game, prioritise the important games

    Or would you prefer it had we done a Portsmouth and Sunderland two years ago and gone far into a cup game only to tire when it matters in the League?

    @golfaddick you'll have to remind me why you only chirp up when a match appears at its most negative?

    What’s this about the second and third round draws taking place at the same time?

    Its a complete myth that a cup run effects your league form. In fact it usually does the opposite...

    What all four teams on the pitch at once and only one goes through?

    What like Doncaster when they beat us in the FA Cup

    Or Portsmouth / Sunderland when they went far in the EFL Trophy, both teams looked exhausted come the end of the season

    Who won the Play-Offs out of us four that season?

    Hell I'm all for going far in cup competitions if it gives much needed minutes for players or new signings... But thats it

    How many teams win every single competition they're involved in, its about managing each competition you're involved in
