Thats taking the biscuit!


Recommended Posts

Right i'm Newcastle and played chelsea in the 3rd round of the league cup, take there FULL STRENGTH side to extra time, only to lose, in the next round i notice Forest have beaten them 2-0 aet, so i check there team, and they have gone on to play a second strength side, surely this is a bug, as big clubs dont play a full strength side one round and not the next?

They most likely considered Forest to be less of a threat than you, thus why they played a weaker team against Forest... makes sense really. Or perhaps they played a league game 3 days before the Forest game and all their players had poor fitness...

Playing devil's advocate they might have had an easier schedule around the time they played you, but I have to agree that it seems unlikely they'd play full strength in an early round. Clearly it's taking a while to work out the kinks in the system that makes big clubs play their second string in the less important competitions.
