Nice value bet on Pompey tonight [R]-League Cup

[Hard core pawn]

Ive got a good value 75 squid bet on Pompey to thrash the hides off Nothampton tonight.
Just about to set off for some pre match conviviality before the game.
Hopefully it'll be a good chance to see some of the promising squad players having a really good go, to improve their first team chances.

cmon on you blues

It was good to see Matty back, Smertin was absolutely 100% excellent and thoroughly deserved his Man Of the Match award,Schemmel impresses me more every time I see him play.Foxe looked class on the ball and defended really well.

Wapenaar who played instead of Shaka made a couple of decent saves, Roberts looked strong and fast,Sherwood is not 100% fit though but played better than he did against Blackburn.

The game well it was never going to be a thriller was it? . We had 2 goals disallowed they had a player sent off and had to take their penaly twice!

It ended up with a 5-2 scoreline (Sherwood 2, Roberts 2 and Matty Taylor 1) and us going through to the next round of the Carling Cup!

Great to see Taylor looking so forceful after such a long lay off.
My value bet was 175 not 75, easy money.
Im very optimistic about Smertin, looked very classy i thought.

Hi folks,

I just added an [R] to the title of the thread because the results of the League Cup game is talked about in here.

BTW a nice win. I would like to see us make a nice run in the cup, given that we lost are first games in both cups last season.

When is the third round draw?

[bmw9983]

The draw is somewhere around 6PM BST, so in about an hour or two? (I think...)

[worldsoccer-Jeff]

Pompey are away to Forest in round 3. Game will be the week of Oct 27th.

Not an easy draw. We'll have to bring are A game. Forest are just as good as an EPL team IMHO.

The thing is with the forest match it is bang in the middle of two away matches, so thats 3 away matches in quick succession!
