Daggers drawn as Reading travel into the unknown for Carling Cup clash

We're going where? Just when Steve Coppell thought things could not get any worse, Reading get drawn at Dagenham & Redbridge

The Daggers have only been in the Football League for one season while Steve Coppell's Royals enjoyed two years in the top flight before their last-day relegation.

Birmingham did not fare much better either. They also went down from the Premier League despite winning on the last day of the season but have been handed a tough away draw to a Wycombe side who reached the semi-finals of the competition in 2007 where they lost to Chelsea.

The third relegated top flight side, Derby, who went down with just 11 points, have at least been drawn at home - against League Two Lincoln City.

Beaten FA Cup finalists Cardiff City must travel to a Bournemouth side who were relegated from League One, while Luton Town - who could start the season with a 25-point deduction - play host to Plymouth.
