Coventry City V Exeter City Carabao Cup 1st Round - Matchday Thread

[The Proper Chap]

You can understand why the big boys aren't too interested : 100k to win the bloody thing?

If it was 10 million would the likes of Man City, Liverpool, Man Utd etc be any more motivated, I very much doubt it, both sums are a drop in the ocean for these clubs.

What do Sky pay for showing live games in this cup? Probably more than you get for winning the round.

This is an ideal game to rest Woodman and play Sparkes. But when it comes to Swindon on Saturday I bet Woodman plays.

But who then plays against Oldham? It's a big ask for a 37-year old who has only recently returned from injury to play back-to-back games and Deano will surely be needed at centre-half.

Last time we played in a league cup at St Andrews didn't it end 4-1 to Exeter?
Lightening tonight please @125/1

Yep, there is no prize money in the Carabao Cup until the SF. The SF losers get 25k. The Cup winners get 100k : the losers get 50k.
Gate money divided 45% per team.
Nice work by Carabao getting such cheap sponsorship, or am I missing something?

Not much to go for or excited about then , a non winner.Just got to avoid picking up injuries to key players.

It makes me sick, the way this League Cup has been gradually devalued. I recall the wonderful night in 1960 when we played Manchester United at SJP in front of 16,000. Man U played their full first team, including the Legendary Harry Gregg in goal, and we managed a 1-1 draw. We got tonked 1-4 at OT in the replay, but it had still been a bit of a money spinner.

Just all part of the shocking legacy of Shaun Harvey !

Blimey, A. Martin can't even get into the second string. I expect Brizzle City thought Cundy would start as well. Not surprised to see Sweeny and Collins there because they are young but I didn't think we'd see Deano.
