    I find that a little strange. I know long season and all that. I would have gone strong tonight, got the game one and get the cannon ball running down the hill. This competition gives a real chance to all teams.

    The stats on BBC show we had 75% possession and 9 shots with 3 on target. Need these fringe players to show Martin that they are good enough to play Saturday.

    Of course would much prefer we won. But if we don’t, I won’t lose any sleep on the 2nd/3rd team dropping a bollock.

    Have we given up on winning this game? 45 mins to go, easily turn this around.

    I know this may ne tongue in cheek, but every game used to matter. I do hate the modern game when only league results matter. Normally we go and mess the following game up afterwards anyway

    The only solace is that there are only a few first teamers there.

    If Brie is really bad then please can we keep KWP?

    Totally fine with this.

    Firstly I don't want the extra games. Secondly there are a number of players featuring tonight who I don't want tricking Martin into thinking that they're actually any good.

    What about honing match fitness, getting the new team gelling. Not going g to throw my toys, but not the way I would go, just dents the confidence of the second string for when we need them

    I agree with your second sense totally. But I think we should embrace a cup run, it makes you dream, particularly if we are sat in grim 14th come January
