How is it a great draw? With respect they are but a big Championship club, it’s away from home and we will make likely get knocked out. There were so many potentially exciting local derbies and Prem clubs to play.

And I am fully aware of who we have played over the years, one of my first games was Horwich RMI away in the mid-nineties and I’ve seen us in the Lancs Cup against various sides.

If anything it’s a nark of how far we have come that this is viewed as a crap draw.

Terrible draw. Very little in the way of prize money in the League cup so a plum home tie against a PL side is a must to generate some income.

Maybe not a premier League team at home

But ask all the championship teams fans who got knocked out last night bet they were playing a 2nd round game in a couple of weeks

Not the best but we’ve had some great ties in recent seasons so maybe we were due a duff one. On the positive side we may get through this. We were very unfortunate not to get something there at the end of last season.

Worse draw ever.
Unless of course we do a proper Derek Adams job on them ;)

Northern Section Draw:

Bolton Wanderers v Aston Villa
Derby County v West Bromwich Albion or Sheffield United
Wolverhampton Wanderers v Preston North End
Leeds United v Barnsley
Fleetwood Town v Everton
Sheffield Wednesday v Rochdale
Tranmere Rovers v Newcastle United
Rotherham United v Morecambe
Barrow v Lincoln City
Stockport County v Leicester City
Bradford City v Blackburn Rovers
Grimsby Town v Nottingham Forest
Shrewsbury Town v Burnley

Taking in to account the team & distance to travel on a Tuesday night, which clubs could we have drawn that would have been worse than Rotherham, if we were away from home?

Lincoln? Shrewsbury? Grimsby? Bradford & Barnsley would have been on a par with Rotherham. Anything else would have been better.

So, as I said, it could have been worse. But not much.

And yes, it is a sign of how far we've come. I said that before the Stoke game too, that Stoke would have been an amazing cup draw not that long ago.
