Capital One Cup: Rotherham United

Rotherham manager Steve Evans.

Ground: New York Stadium, Rotherham
Attendance: 11,433

The first round of the Capital One Cup serves up a Yorkshire derby at Rotherham Uniteds new stadium, the New York Stadium. The recently promoted Millers have strengthened in the summer with signings such as the 6 month loan of Matt Tubbs, Michael Tidser from Morton and former Fulham full-back Rob Milsom joining the League One side. Both teams were buoyed by the performance in their opening league fixtures with the Millers coming from 1-3 down to draw 3-3 with Crewe whilst Wednesday were somewhat unfortunate to lose 2-1 to QPR.

Capital One Cup (r3): Southampton FC

A trip to the south coast for this Third Round tie between the Premierships Southampton and the Owls at St Mary's. Both teams were changed from their previous league games, with the hosts making 9 changes and Wednesday making 7 since their weekend defeat against Bolton.

The bright yellow clad visitors had a stern test ahead of them and the home side made their intentions known straight from the kick off.

Capital One Cup: Fulham FC

A surprising transfer happened in the build up to this game, as Diogo Amado who only signed last month, was sold to Portuguese Primeira Liga side Estoril Praia Futebol. Home sickness being the reason given.

As the teams were announced one thing was for certain, Fulham were taking Wednesday seriously, naming a first 11 regularly seen in the Premier League. The Owls also fielded a strong line-up, including the fit again Gary Madine. So, to the action...

Capital One Cup: Oldham Athletic

 Oldham Athletic v SWFC:

Fortunately for us armchair supporters, Sky Sports decided this fixture would be televised - and what a great decision it was! The build up was full of hugely optimistic tweets and texts about a resounding Wednesday win. By half time, we were desperate not to be crashing at the first hurdle.

Now all Wednesdayite's know that when we are on TV, we tend to under perform - the dreaded 'Sky Curse'.
