Derby lost to Portsmouth..

Always like surprises

Hm. Tough night for Clement.

Two tough games coming up too - Charlton and Middlesbrough. After a disappointing draw at Bolton last weekend, and tonight's result against fourth tier opposition, Clement needs his side to wake up.

Ha, no.

Trust me, with McEveley in our defence, anything is possible.

Some great goals in the first round of the League Cup: Rochdale's opener against Coventry, Oxford's third at Brentford, Noble's goal against Huddersfield all spring to mind.

Might save all my student loan money over the next 3 years and id have enough to buy 300 adult season tickets for my club.

Barnsley defender Mason Holgate is going to Everton.

They'll pay £1m for him, after AFC Bournemouth and Newcastle were both tipped to be interested. He was on trial with Man United earlier this summer, too.

Looking forward to seeing who Barnet will get in the next round of the League Cup.

Bournemouth, Carlisle and Exeter fans better start saving up for their air tickets! :biggrin:

That midweek trip for Exeter fans is pretty much farcical. They should probably look to localise the second round, too.

Hull away, a team which is very likely to beat us and it's not exactly an attractive fixture.

Blackpool away tomorrow though, can't wait! Although part of me is worried about their pitch and the threat of protests against Oyston and the possibility of another pitch invasion.

A win tomorrow for MK Dons - against fellow promoted side Preston - sets them off to a really good start in the second tier.

Midweek fixture for Exeter as well, lets be honest they will be lucky to have 30 fans there. FA should step in and help with the funding to get fans down there.

For the sake of Exeter, I hope they win.

I think a lot of the lower league clubs are working together for the 'Twenty is Plenty' campaign, which is great to see.

Speaking of ticket prices, it's farcical that West Ham's match with Leicester in the PL this weekend is meaning that Foxes fans face a 44% price hike on the same match as last season.
