Carabao / League / Milk Cup Round 4 Draw

[manchesterwolf17]

I'm inclined to agree. Makes sensible pricing even more important.

Absolutely.

It's such an easy PR move as well.

 

[Golden Arrow]

Brighton and Leicester have also ended up with a decent draw, and from recent experience they're as dangerous as the likes of City/Liverpool and Newcastle.
Still, a good draw for us nevertheless.

 

[Wonder Boyo]

Might be a tricky game for us. Gillingham will have been playing competitive football for weeks leading up to it and our boys will have had 5 weeks without a game. I know we can train hard and play friendlies, but nothing replaces competitive match fitness.

I actually didn't know those leagues carried on.

Does The Championship?

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

What date will it be?

 

[Gromit]

Remember thumping Gills 6-1 on a wet & windy nite late 80s and umbrellas were confiscated at SB turnstiles. Repeat please JL.

Think it was 6-0 actually Rhyl - 1st game I took my daughters to. Needless to say they're now ST holders!!

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

Might be missing neves sa and nunes that game Hwang and raul depending upon how long they stay in World Cup

Put out strong team.

Would be a disaster to loose this now being the managers first game.

We won't loose it, we will tight it.

 

[CelebrityWolf]

great draw. If we get through that then we could be on a roll by the QF and Lopetegui finally working his magic.

 

[Wonder Boyo]

Does The Championship?

The Championship has a smaller break. It restarts on 10th December. Although there's one game on 3rd December for some reason (Millwall v Sunderland). Leagues One and Two carry on as normal.

World Cup: Championship to be paused during Qatar 2022 showpiece next, but League One and Two will continue

The 2022 World Cup in Qatar starts on November 21 next year and runs through to December 18, Championship follows Premier League in announcing a pause of domestic action during the tournament; League One and League Two will continue as normal

www.skysports.com

"The English Football League (EFL) has adjusted its schedule to accommodate the international tournament, with a break in Championship matches planned from November 13 to December 9.

That period includes the World Cup group stage, plus the opening round of knockout games."

 

[manchesterwolf17]

6-1 in the 80s.

6-0 in 2003

 

[manchesterwolf17]

What date will it be?

Week commencing Dec 19th.

So likely the 20-21st.

 

[SakosRightFoot]

Anyone else get that feeling our luck might be turning

 

[Big Saft Kid]

Different game? We beat them 6-0 in March 2003. It was 5-0 at HT.

 

[sc91]

League One and below iirc.

Bully hatrick or perhaps even 4?? Think I was there too.

 

[Stourport wolf]

Hopefully it a straightforward win by 3 or 4 goals give the lads some confidence going into the Toffee game

Let's hope we will be coming out of the sticky patch by then.

I was looking at championship fixtures the other day and was surprised they resume on 3rd December, when the world cup is at last 16 stage. Gonna be weird with them playing and League One/ Two playing on through it all.

 

[xbomber]

This was the 2003 match. Hope I don't jinx us by posting it. Look at the state of Kennedy's back heel and assist for the second:

 

[Wolf316]

Full house?

Tenner adults quid for kids and sell out but we’ve got Vinny ****ing Turpin in charge so it’ll be a rip off.

 

[Bawtry Wolf]

Bully hatrick or perhaps even 4?? Think I was there too.

He scored 1, the 5th or 6th I think. We had several different scorers which was highly unusual as it was usually Bully plus one maybe 2. The look of relief when he scored was a sight to behold. If I remember rightly it was a Tuesday night, early March 1989, division 3 game. I was living in London so ended up getting the milk train to London. Don’t remember them scoring but then again it didn’t matter.

 

[Banks's Mild]

Yep I’d say 1995 villa away lost 1-0 Tommy Johnson …

Jan 1996 I was in the Holt End and when they scored they were all jumping up and down whilst I sat there with my head in my hands but typical Villa they just looked at me and did nothing- ****ers

Reminds me of the Forest game in August 2008 when we were 4-0 up at HT and it could have been 10.

One of the best halves of football we've ever played that.

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Jan 1996 I was in the Holt End and when they scored they were all jumping up and down whilst I sat there with my head in my hands but typical Villa they just looked at me and did nothing- ****ers

Yes, Blues in the FA Cup followed by Villa in the LC, two freezing early morning trips to Molineux for tickets. Not everything about football has got worse!

 

[Fenrir_]

Dream draw really. Possibly banana skin territory with Gillingham not having a break but now we know who isn't going to Qatar you could almost pick the team now and no doubt they'll want to impress Lopetegui in his first game in charge. Get through this and there's potentially an opportunity

 

[Mardenboroughs Shoulder]

Opportunity knocks! Just need to be able to take advantage?

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Big opportunity now. WEMBLEY WEMBLEY!!

 

[Hot Fuss]

Jan 1996 I was in the Holt End and when they scored they were all jumping up and down whilst I sat there with my head in my hands but typical Villa they just looked at me and did nothing- ****ers

Imagine not battering a bloke on his own for not celebrating a goal. ****ers.

 

[Titch]

West Ham this week played lower league opposition and charged £10/£1.

Perfect price, just before Xmas, 30k plus

 

[WV10Wolf]

We get Gillingham and City get Liverpool?

Someone’s getting sacked.

 

[Bacon Sandwich]

Might be a tricky game for us. Gillingham will have been playing competitive football for weeks leading up to it and our boys will have had 5 weeks without a game. I know we can train hard and play friendlies, but nothing replaces competitive match fitness.

Flip it round though - Gills will have been playing competitive games on less than perfect pitches. Plenty of chances for their players to get injured...

 

[Wolf316]

Perfect price, just before Xmas, 30k plus

Kids will have broken up it’s a perfect time to do cheap tickets and sell out. But you can bet Vinny ****ing Turpin will be thinking it’s Julen‘s first game and will try and get away with charging as much as he possibly can.

 

[Macman]

Anyone else get that feeling our luck might be turning

Not yet, i will only believe it when i see it on the pitch!

 

[Mighty Thor]

You think gillingham fans are also saying “yes it’s wolves. They are ****ing **** and we managed to avoid citeh, Newcastle, United, forest etc. so just 1 game away from quarters”

 

[MikeH68]

Jan 1996 I was in the Holt End and when they scored they were all jumping up and down whilst I sat there with my head in my hands but typical Villa they just looked at me and did nothing- ****ers

Yep me too!

 

[JadeWolf]

Hope Wolves are sensible with their prices. I know they have to agree it with the away team, but £10 adults and £5 concessions and I think you’ll sell out. Wonder if Gillingham will have the quadrant or the bully lower?

 

[Zico]

Good point, amazed VAR didn't review that.

 

[sedgwolf1980]

Remember thumping Gills 6-1 on a wet & windy nite late 80s and umbrellas were confiscated at SB turnstiles. Repeat please JL.

I was mascot for that match. March 89.

 

[AndyY]

Gillingham will be saying, “Wolves are joint bottom of their league and being playing cr@p, and won’t have played for 6 weeks, this a great opportunity for a scalp”

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

J-Lo is going to win this cup for us isn’t he?

I can already see the Neves swan song of him lifting the cup before he departs for Camp Nou

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

Different game? We beat them 6-0 in March 2003. It was 5-0 at HT.

100% right. I remember at half time saying to my pal I’d never seen us score 7 in a game and then the sixth went in and we shut up shop!
