Town Draw Millwall Away
Town Draw Millwall Away
Saturday, 28th Aug 2010 12:50

Town will play Millwall away in the third round of the Carling Cup, the Blues’ fifth sucessive away draw in the competition, the eighth in both cups and the seventh since Roy Keane took over as boss.

Midfielder Liam Trotter moved to the Den from Portman Road during the summer, while striker Kevin Lisbie is on loan with the Lions for the season. Another former Blue, full-back or midfielder Scott Barron, signed a new three-year-deal with Kenny Jackett's club this week.

The teams last met in the Carling Cup at the second round stage in 2000/01, the Londoners winning the first leg 2-0 at the Den before Town went through after a 5-0 victory at Portman Road, three of those goals coming in extra time after the Lions had been reduced to nine men.

The ties will take place in the week commencing September 20th.

Not a great draw but great chance to get to the next round were there is a greater chance to get a big team at home or even reach the quarters or semis. But another away draw which is not good

Always remember the FA cup tie at the "old" Den in '78. I was 14 and it remains the most terrifying match I have ever attended. Then got a right kicking coming home from Highbury when we reached the final, Millwall fans were waiting for us at the tube station. Roger Osborne made it all worthwhile though with his glorious strike in the final! Those were the days!!
COYB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a terrible draw. Away, against an uninteresting team, and a match we'll probably lose. Oh well.

Tough away match and a low attendance - worst of both!

Disappointing draw again. Would have liked a home tie against Arsenal! Still it is winnable, and like a previous poster, I was there in 1978 at the old Den

Great draw. A winnable match is better than playing against a "big" team.

Our record at Millwall is not great. Still, not really interested in this cup. Great if we win, but never mind if lose!!

Not what I would describe as a 'winnable match' Millwall are going well at home and they will prove very tricky opposition indeed. I would trade a loss in the cup for a victory in the corresponding league match anyday.

I'm not happy, i was hoping for a home tie against a side Like Northampton or a 5 star prem team home or away but Millwall, and away, one of the worst we could get. I mean we are playing well and have done well to advance through 2 rounds but Millwall are also on good form and they have a home advantage, i know we have won all 4 away games we have played but you could never be so confident away from home really against a team in your league. Hopefully we can win it COYB

I think if we win this, then we have a good chance of getting a big club in the next round, which would be great.
