Swindon Town 1-0 Torquay
Tranmere 2-0 Mansfield
Wycombe 1-2 Leicester City
York City 0-4 Burnley

 

Obviously a lot of teams will field very different sides in this competition but still some surprises - particularly Newport's win at Brighton and Accy Stanley's win at Boro.

 

IF Notts get through we've got a good chance of a big tie, with most premiership sides coming into the competition and we could also play that lot, The Rams or Leicester. But let's just get through our tie first lol!

I would love to get Derby!

It would be perfect to get them, mind you it wouldn't be so bad to get a team like Shrewsbury or Walsall but that's just me.

I see one of the surprises was Brighton losing- Guess where the Rams are away to next Saturday?

The U.K's version of Bangkok?

I *cringed* then, I hope nobody else did.. I suppose your going to say you will be playing Brighton, I wonder if they still wear pink for their away shirt.

I watched Morecambr beat Wolves 1-0. Wolves squandered several good chances and hit the woodwork at least 3 times and somehow I just knew Morecambe were going to sneak it, they actually played really well and of course their fans were ecstatic at the end.

2 other results from tonight:
Carlisle United 3-3 Blackburn Rovers - Carlisle United won 4-3 on penalties (Judgey put Blackburn ahead in ET)
Leeds United 2-1 Chesterfield

 

I believe the draw for round 2 it at either 12:30 or 1:30 tommorow afternoon, live on Sky Sports. I know it's not regionalised but it is seeded, and to be honest I've not got a clue how all that works but from what people have said, we could get Derby, F*rest, Leicester, or a premiership side as most of them come in at this stage. Should be interesting

i just hope we get a good team but we should not risk anyone for this cup.

derby would be nice, failing that i would love west ham!

[weymouthPIE]

Either of those two would be good, a premiership tie at Meadow Lane would be brilliant for the club. If I had my selfish head on I'd like a game at Southampton or Bournemouth or Yeovil, but that wouldn't be great at all for the rest of our fans lol

I hope we get a home draw and a big gate.
