I don't know dooali , I'd sooner have had a home tie but we've an awful record in this competition against lower league clubs and we don't need another Carlisle type debacle .

I think we are better getting a rival Championship club.
Less chance of stupid tackles, injuries etc. than against lower leagues. This early in the season it’s goo practice games for us too. Against opposition at our level. We aren’t going to win it, so may as well treat it as a practice for when we laik them.
Funny though innit? We get two championship sides, think we were one of the only ones in the last round at that level to do so. . Maybe the EFL are getting us back for threatening to sue.....?
What next? More substance tests than other teams..........? Makes you wonder .....
Chelsea away if we get through so plenty of motivation to progress .
Beat Warnock's Boro away and then Chelsea away and we'er heyf way to Wembley.
Boro away Tuesday neet straight after Luton game at Grove Street, then Reading away. Squad rotation ?
Good extra game time League cup and a bit of extra £dosh for Chien Conway & Co.......
Middlesbrough away, and then possibly Chelski away... cant we have a tough draw against a good team for a change eh ?.
Seriously though, as Ive said my own season priorities do NOT include this Lg Cup this season!.
