Bloody terrible game. I tried to tell folk on here way back that we could find ourselves in a relegation battle but all I kept getting back was stuff about the f.a. cup.      

I think Maddix has been saying longer than anyone, nowt to do with the cup though!!!!

I exercise my right to disagree. Our squad right now is bloody useless but if we get any injuries during a stupid f.a. cup game, a cup that we can't possibly win anyway, where will that put us? Suppose Joao got injured, or Reach, for example. If I'm the only one on here that sees it that way that's fine, but our form is relegation material and we cannot afford risking players in the cup. And calling me an irritating old goat, tit or twat doesn't alter my opinion, nor does it bother me actually.

We have virtually a full team on the treatment table, none of whom got injured in a cup game. Injuries will happen at any time, today we lost two players to red cards who will now miss games. Its not a case of focusing on the cup, but as we stand what team could he play in any gme, we are down to bare bones as it is?? If you don’t want to risk players in the cup, who on earth would you currently play? As a squad, we are screwed, if the full squad was available then I might agree with you, play some reserves, but its is the reserves we are playing now.
