IF we play our strongest team, we will be favourites. We should go for it.

League Cup 3rd Round: Brighton going for a Burton
- Thread starter gregbrighton
- Start date
There's a significant difference between:
- Putting out your strongest team
- Putting out a team you believe is strong enough to win
Last night we did the latter. Many managers have slipped up with this approach and been castigated for not taking the first option.

This. I'd hate playing Sunderland. I don't want to be AGAINST a man who brought us so much joy, and see all the neanderthals give him a poor reception.
Presumably Baldock is cup tied?
Yep and it's Forest away on 27th...

Top tip: If it's so important to you that the thread that announces news like this is a thread you started, start an "official cup draw" thread earlier in the evening, and make sure it's active when the draw is made. That way, when all the threads are merged, it will be yours that is the first post.

It won't be easy, Burton have been building some real momentum over the past few seasons, playing some 'OK' football too. Very small fan base but slowly building a good following. I've seen them play a number of times in recent seasons living so close to their ground, at least I could join in with the Albion chant!
Their owner can draw a lot of comparisons with our Tony too, lives and breathes the club.

Have we ever played Fleetwood or Stevenage?

Yes. He played in BC's 1st rnd defeat.
I have that week off. New ground to visit. Shouldn't be a bedwetting binfest over ticket allocation and loyalty points. Looks a plan to me.
Take a break in the Peak District & take in Forest on 27th too. I would if I could.

Do a palace - when they followed us to Wembley a few years after us they played lower league clubs all the way to the semi final. Be handy.

Scarcity of tickets should not be a problem. QPR had 381 seats and 1250 terrace tickets available tonight. It turned out to be POTG for both home and away fans - only 4K attendance out of capacity of 7K.
Even if we were to sell all our allocation, then it is easy to buy in the home end. They do not sell tickets online - only available in person or by phone (just need a non-Sussex address).
