It's a dream fixture isn't it. To go to Pride Park will be awe inspiring for them and then to line up against one of ENglands greatest ever players, I am sure one or two of them will be star struck, fantastic draw for them and hopefully they give a good account of themselves.

What's the dullest fixture there?

I would go for Grimsby v Morecambe.

It´s a toughie. I would add Scunthorpe vs Port Vale too.

In fact, if we did a NSC World Cup on the "Most boring fixture of the Caribou Cup 1st Round", it would be far more entertaining than the actual competition

I went to Crawley v Stoke in this competition last season, and I have to say that the atmosphere generated by the home fans was very good. Stoke were dire.

Sky have announced their televised games for the 1st Round

Derby v Barrow - Wazza factor I guess.
Walsall v Sheffield Wednesday - Big giant killing potential
Wycombe v Brentford - All Championship affair

I wouldn't describe Walsall as a giant team I think Wednesday might have a chance...
