But, to recap: It's Doncaster away for Boro. A chance for revenge after Rovers knocked Boro out of this competition 12 months ago. Fleetwood vs Shrewbury Bradford vs Burnley Sheffield Wed vs Wolves Blackpool vs Lincoln Preston vs Everton Barnsley vs Crewe Doncaster vs Middlesbrough Nottingham Forest vs Leeds Blackburn vs Sheffield United Newcastle vs West Brom Stoke vs Hull North side of the draw first... Boro ball 13. Not long to go now... Jobi McAnuff and Jamie Mackie will be pulling the numbers out of the hat tonight. Of course the league is the priority. That will take precedent always. But, extra games could be a good thing at this stage of the season, with a big squad and a few new faces. More games is an extra opportunity for new players to gel and for fringe players to get game time and show what they can do. So it was a positive that Boro managed to beat Wrexham and get through, and it will be interesting to see what kind of draw they can get this time, and how Hellberg treats it, coming in between two important league games. The ties will be played in the week commencing Monday, August 24, with games likely to be played on Tuesday, August 25 and Wednesday, August 26. For Boro, that’s in between the first away game of the season at Blackburn, and the home clash with West Brom.
