League Cup vs Everton

A repeat of our opening day fixture, except this time we are at home. Everton may have strengthened since then but their defence looks perilously poor at the moment. With our own defence lacking consistency, the match promises goals.

Watch it end 1-0…

Nonetheless I think we will win. I think playing Emo on the right and bringing in Villanueva and Derbyshire for an ultra-attacking set-up could be the key here. Lescott looks weak and feeble at the moment and Emo’s strength could really bully him, and I think Carlos could be just too quick for the Everton midfield. We may also get a look at Segundo Castillo who we almost signed ourselves.

Rovers in this competition holds good memories for me. The first time I saw Rovers was in the League Cup Final in 2002 in my hometown Cardiff, and of course we won our most recent trophy that day. I won’t forget it.

My prediction: Rovers to win 3-1.
