If it is an impact injury you maybe could make that point, but they can come in any game and there are more cloggers in the championship. If it's his hamstring, especially if it's the same one as before, then it was going to go anyway. It's not as if he's been overplayed. Picking him was fair enough by me. We are outsiders for promotion, there are around six thousand there who want to see an effort put up, and Ross would definitely have been wanting to play in the game. It's ****, but it happens.
It's only the fourth round. You're going on like we're in touching distance of Wembley, were not. At the start off this game everyone on thos board would have taken being knocked out but Stewart remaining fit over going through and losing our best player, again
If we win this game we get £400k. That would have pretty much paid for Stewart's new contract. So going for a Cup run, even putting aside the romance and hope of getting to Wembley, is huge financially for us against FFP.
I've got zero issues if it happens in the league. None at all, it's the price of doing business. But there was no need for him to start today.
of course we would have. but I also wouldn't want Diallo, Ballard, Batth, Patterson, Neil, Roberts, Clarke, Alese or Hume getting a long term injury. We gonna drop them all? It was a risk, of course it was. But the potential benefits did outweigh the risk.
I'd of been fuming if we'd played an under strength team today. We're playing well against a team from the league above in the FA cup!? Of course you play your best team. The issue is we dont have enough strikers and that's been the case all season. You 100% need 3 proper strikers, 4 if you play 2 up front.
How can you say it's right? The games not won yet and if we go out in the next round and our league form drops off a cliff it will almost certainly be the wrong decision
