Carabao Cup - Second Round ** Spoilers ** [28/29 August 2018]
- Thread starter Cosimo
- Start date
Fixtures coming thick and fast for Leeds at the moment and with a massive match on Friday against Boro, I hope we don't risk many of the 1st teamers. Our squad is that small though I can't see us having enough players not too!

Leeds were gonna have a little hiccup somewhere along the line with all these games.
In fairness you are best off out of the cup competitions. Promotion would be so much better.

It was quite something to witness.
Dunno who it was that signed the deal with the devil, but to see Berahino score and that comedy special in the same match was great.True but can sometimes be a momentum killer!
Yep, said as much to a mate at work earlier. Expecting nothing from this game.
*Edit* Predictable start.

Absolute scenes!
What a finish. Newcastle denied blatant pen and the concede a third.
Newcastle proper robbed. I thought they were using VAR in this comp.

I’d be damn fuming if I was you after that. Disgraceful decision. Ref should be dropped at the weekend.
Yes, but that doesn’t excuse the rest of the woeful performance, which is more concerning (although, as-per the posts before the game, not entirely surprising).
Only at prem league grounds isn't it,
according to the bbc website:
Four EFL Cup second-round ties will trial the use of the video assistant referee (VAR) system, the English Football League has confirmed.
Brighton's game against Southampton, Fulham's with Exeter, Leicester's match with Fleetwood and Rotherham's trip to Everton are the matches chosen.
Didn't see any highlights of the ref's position on the pen situation, would love to have the decision explained, although it wouldn't make any difference to the result obviously.
Don't think the refs association do themselves any favours by not saying anything.
