Carabao Cup thread: Sheff Wednesday at home

[TANGODANCER]

Free kick them now and....we clear. Pratley gets a free kick ...don't let him take it....we sally and Buckley sounding lively. I think heard Antoneeee mentioned...yep, there it goes again. They visit, we clear, well almost and Porter nods one over for them. Could that be called a let-off?....Oh, I forgot....COME ON YOU WHITES.....
That should do it....

[TANGODANCER]

Pratley jumps on Winkle and then....mic men have a chat....then...they get uppity and try one again. Have we had a serious shot on goal yet? And...guess what.....1-0 to them.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Hmm.

[DJBlu]

Dear god this is grim.

0 shots on target.

[officer_dibble]

HWGA

Standard league cup exit!

[TANGODANCER]

"Railwaymen put us on the track" claims mic man, awfully. Bit of Moss Bank spit and polish needed here insted of dreams of the Alianza. Come on, get one back before Lucozade time. We sally forth and....and....Buckley hits a candy-floss shot at the keeper . 1-0 the homers at the break. Great.

[Harry Genshaw]

Very poor first half. Disjointed would about sum us up.

Burke is a class act. Earing and Robinson both eager and willing. Wilbraham not had a decent touch yet and the fans have found a new scapegoat. Poor Stephen Darby. Folk screaming at him to run down the line when he's playing in a back 3. Lots to improve on in the second half

[TANGODANCER]

Station 2 commences. Mic man being optimistic about us not coming back if we go two down, ref checks the ball and the homers are sounding a bit sparky. We get a free via Little and....Darby, Little and...they clear.. Homers are out-playing the mighty Whites says micman...? Never. Okay lads, that enough nonesense, get it sorted. Pugh, Pugh, Barney Magrue, Cuthbert Dibble and Grub...oh, and Winkle. Wilbraham gets savaged, Raines? get a booking.

[TANGODANCER]

Can we please remember who we are? Corner them now and...mic man is getting on my nerves with his pessimism. We go, they repulse, they sally and wallop. Buckley goes but we lose out. Porter has a long range wishful wallop. GET IN THE HOLE...er Net...as the cousins often chant. Pratley gets a "strange" booking for a challenge? I'm off to make a brew as 3100 crowd is announced.

[TANGODANCER]

We sound as dangerous as a marshmallow baseball bat right now. COME ON WHITES......and....and..they clear. A bit/lot of this and that, more pessimism from mic man and talk of stripping subs. Aldrich has to make a good save after a break and cross by Dagnall and this isn't very ghood , is it?

[TANGODANCER]

Karajan, Morais and Madine get ready to charge forth. Off, Wilbraham, Little and Pratley.

[officer_dibble]

Sticking with the352 then.

[TANGODANCER]

That Porter again and a deflected shot hits our bar. Corner them and....and...Buckley breaks and....passes badly. Free kick them now and we clear. Madine gets it and we have a very small amount of possession then a free kick. In, and....Derik and cleared. We are " staring down the barrel" claims mic man. And we are level as Armstrong taps one in. 1-1

[DJBlu]

1 shot, 1 goal.

Armstrong.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Sticking with the352 then.

#inorite

According to Sky's stats they've had 18% possession and 9 shots; we've had one, off-target - presumably Pratley's that went for a throw.

EDIT Ah good.

[officer_dibble]

Madine conspiracy theorists of the world unite.

[TANGODANCER]

Come on now you Whites. Mic man doing a bit of Sun bandwaggon jumping and we are now awake it seems. We go and....Armstron is a bit "heavy" attempting to control. Porter still trying hard for the homers but Ben wallops it to his opposite number. A Railwayer goes down injured as the keepr puts it out. Pity we had to bring out the big guns, but what the xxxx, we'll take it. Throw us and...we go and...Morais crosses a "beauty" and... we get a flag up and a free kick. A railman nipped cheekily back on the field to intercept the ball. Morais, cleared and...some back and forth.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Madine conspiracy theorists of the world unite.

Aye - using The Machine is basically a cheat mode.

[TANGODANCER]

Morais goes, but is flagged offside. 12 mins or so to go...apparently, as they get a throw. Karajan goes and gets a free kick from Winkle. Pas, pass and wallop. They clear, we get it back, pass, pass, clear, Karjan and...Buckley wins a free kick in a good area. And "the mailman" steps up. And.....and.....it's 2-1 us....Derik......

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Morais assist. Of course.
