I'm surprised no obvious CDM is playing. If Field is getting a rest then I'd have thought Ball or Hendrick would be in. Maybe its Amos but he never looks the part in that role to me. Same with Johansen.
Don't know or can't remember! There is something on the Official about it, but it's been the same for years.
Given our cup record of late I'd always assumed it was to limit the humiliation...but it's actually to do with TV rights I think.
