[Albion] Carabao Cup

Bozza · Oct 30, 2018

The Fourth Round fixtures tonight, tomorrow and Thursday throw up a few bits of interest...

Bournemouth have only reached the quarter-finals 3 times in their history. Sitting pretty on 20 points after 10 games they are surely safe already. Will Smug Eddie "go for it" and give the Cherries a chance of progressing towards a first Wembley final or will he ring the changes? If this was us, I'd definitely want to see us put out the strongest side possible.

Fat Frank returns to Chelsea. Will they play a first-choice XI again as they did at Manchester United?

Spurs having to play 48 hours after a tough game against Manchester City. Fancy West Ham to win that at a shade under 2/1.

Middlesbrough look generously priced at 5/2 to beat Palace too.

Tonight
AFC Bournemouth v Norwich City
Burton Albion v Nottingham Forest

Wednesday
Arsenal v Blackpool
Chelsea v Derby County
West Ham United v Tottenham Hotspur
Middlesbrough v Crystal Palace

Thursday (why?)
Manchester City v Fulham

Postponed
Leicester City v Southampton

But then Spurs did and yet they are on Wednesday

Durlston · Oct 30, 2018

Nottingham Forest to win and both teams to score @ 4/1 looks fantastic value tonight.

Something has to give I suppose.

They also have to factor in their Champions League commitments next week.

City play on Wednesday and Spurs play on Tuesday

Neither manager cares it seems:

There are eight changes from the Bournemouth side that beat Fulham 3-0 in the Premier League on Saturday.

Skipper Simon Francis, Steve Cook and Charlie Daniels are the only players who remain in the starting XI.

Jermain Defoe makes his third start in the competition.

Bournemouth XI: Borus, Francis (C), S Cook, Daniels, Pugh, Gosling, Surman, Rico, Stanislas, Defoe, Ibe

Norwich also make eight changes to the side which beat Brentford 1-0 in the Championship on Saturday.

Christoph Zimmermann, Jamal Lewis and captain Alexander Tettey are the three players who featured in that game too.

Finland forward Teemu Pukki is on the bench after recovering from injury.

Norwich XI: McGovern, Pinto, Zimmermann, Godfrey, Lewis, Trybull, Tettey, Passlack, Vrancic, Hernandez, Srbeny

He looks lost and is chasing shadows sad to see. Dawson looks class still for Forest.

Seems that our little friend struggles to make the team (or squad) other than in cup matches. Real shame.

Followed by a very audible chorus of "You're ****ing Shit" from the away fans...

I think that possibly he would have grown and improved with us but who really knows.
