A Prem London club away would be good. Get a good allocation of tickets and the players can just go and give it their best shot. Who knows, we may even have a squad of players who can produce a shock or two!
They have already shocked me by winning a league cup game 4-0...
Right we could play any from: Aston Villa, Bolton, Bournemouth, Brighton, Burnley, Palace, Derby, Fulham, Leeds, Leicester, Man United, Middlesbrough, Newcastle, Forest, Norwich, QPR, Reading, Southampton, Stoke, Sunderland, Swansea, Watford, West Brom, West Ham.
WTF why cant we get Oxford or Huddersfield? - But this is why the Cups should be regionalised (especially the League Cup as its on a weeknight)... i.e. why the fuck give us the possibility of a trip to Newcastle or Sunderland on a Tuesday night!!
(Either way we'll end up with Bournemouth or Brighton)
Big club at the Valley, would be good to fill it up. Especially with Chelsea or Arsenal, I'm sure we'd sell out the Jimmy Seed and they'd spill into the home stands.
The draw for Round 2 of the Capital One Cup will take place on Wednesday 13th August on Sky Sports immediately after the conclusion of the Coventry City versus Cardiff City live TV match.

You need to add Cardiff City to this list, provided they win their tie at Coventry tonight. If Coventry were to get through then Sheffield Wednesday would join the seeded teams and hence would become potential opponents.
A home tie vs decent opposition please. Another game we all have a chance to see as this new look side gels...another chance for Peeters to find his best XI

Not a bad lot though to be fair. Worst ones would be Leeds, Forest or Reading. Or Watford or Burnley.
Christ I missed Bolton... that trumps the lot.

Hudds not seeded (ah i see the joke now), Bolton or Burnley away would be poor.
Both our clubs are fatally locked in a deadly embrace of never ending mediocrity in the early rounds of crap unwanted cup competitions...

Not sure why this competition is seeded.
as are Bradford.
