The FA Cup does pose less problems than the League Cup because it does not add an extra game until the later rounds. The initial rounds are played on Saturdays when we do not have other games scheduled and aside from replays we will not have to play any midweek games in the cup.
I expect him to make wholesale changes to the team that played on Saturday and give a bunch of players a full 90 minutes.
There is a full SBC fixture list on 4th Round FA Cup Day so if we win, our match against Burnley will be postponed to a midweek date. Add in a possible replay & suddenly we have fixture congestion again.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
