The draw took place last night for the 2nd round of the Carling Cup and Boro have been handed a home tie versus Yeovil Town.

Going to be a tough tie but i think we wil come through 2-0.
Ha ha! Gareth will play a lot of youngsters this year. A nice home tie to start us off
Should be an easy home win for you lot!
ye
Good home tie to kick off our Carling Cup campaign.
It looks to be a really good game and if we dont act like typical boro then we should fly through it, we did well against darlington and they are a weak side so it should be a easy game, and with it being at home i hope we get at least 25,000 i know its only our second round but i think we need to have as many people as we can at the games. Ill certainly be there.
FFS you are at home against mighty Yeovil, you dont sound too confident, should p**s it in.
We’ll beat them and then get a dodgy trip to the lane and get beat 2-0 again.
Dodgy alright i mean i know after replys it was on side but every1 who was there seen it as offside unless that refree has unbelievable vision which i doubt then he done it cause spurs paid him.
the one thing we have going for is is this is a BIG competition for us and our best chance of success. United may well look at this as an annoyance getting in the way of all their other tournaments.
this may be a Boro xi gainst a Man U second xi so we may stand a better chance than say, being drawn away to Villa or Everton.
