[Lord Snooty]

We have today been given our first round opponents for the League Cup. If you haven't seen it, it's Notts County at home.

Huddersfield Town v Notts County


BBC Radio Nottingham's Colin Slater: "Last season, Notts went out at the same stage to a Championship side in Sheffield Wednesday andthey were outclassed.
"This will be just as tough, if not tougher, being two divisions below their opponents this time.
"The school of thought saying there is nothing to lose could be relevant but it depends on the nature of the defeat. A big loss could really affect confidence.
"I would be surprised if Huddersfield do not play a strong side, but how strong Notts will be is difficult to see, given the apparent lack of transfer activity. Replacements are needed in midfield and up front before the season starts."
