Who's going to put their cards on the table now and say we ought to field a reserve squad to concentrate on the League?
Winnable tie for us but we need to decide whether it's important because I think it has lost it's zest.
I reckon they'll be thinking exactly the same. It's a winnable game for both clubs so has 0-0 written all over it...!
