I have just glanced at the BBC sports pages and seen that there was apparently a Carabao Cup game yesterday - Huddersfield vs Sheff Wed. I can't ever recall a league cup game taking place before the start of the league season. But anyhow Sheff Wed lost on penalties so their fans are faced with the double whammy of having been relegated last season and having been knocked out of a cup competition already even before this season starts properly. Now that is what you call depressing.
Some Perspective
We played our league cup game v Mansfield at Deepdale a few years ago as a pre-season game.
Ah yes - vague memory of that now you mention it.
Not a good idea though. The first day of a new season should be a day of unlimited hope and excitement not one where you are already mired in gloom.

We could beat Hull on Saturday and this place will still be mired in gloom 🙂Ah yes - vague memory of that now you mention it.

clubs had the option of bringing their games forward to a week before the season - most chose not too -I have just glanced at the BBC sports pages and seen that there was apparently a Carabao Cup game yesterday - Huddersfield vs Sheff Wed.

just wait till we lose @ Mansfield (they've signed 2 x 20 goal strikers you know!)....We could beat Hull on Saturday and this place will still be mired in gloom 🙂
And Bournemouth beat MKDons 5-0 on Friday night in the cup

Don't worry Ernest... We have previous for putting piss poor teams out in the cups and making an early exit ( on purpose) so we might not be far behind... I'm hoping Frankie has a different mentality though.. 🙂
