    This weekend..

    Would love a cup run, and we know MoN likes the cups...

    But it's been a heavy schedule and still have a game today to come..

    Injuries piling up, does he go all out and play the full first choice eleven (who-ever they may be), or is it time for Noble etc to have a shot?.


    One thing for certain it won't be a 4-6-0...ala Brighton.

    I think he'll go for it, as it will keep the momentum up as well (after a good result tonight)

    tbh mate, I would love a good cup run, but not at the cost of getting a top 10 position. If we were to go out against Peterbourgh, but having a team of youths to give the first team a rest. Would be a good chance for Noble, Laing, Knott etc to get a run out with no pressure. I think this year the focus should be on the league, and next year we can go for both with Saint Martin in charge.

    If MoN goes down this route, i trust him to get it right. Tell the lads to get out there, have fun, get forward and show him/us what we have to look forward to in a few years time. If we go out, we go out. But the first teamers get a rest, and the others a chance.

    edit: too many saints at our club now... put Niall instead of Marty

    Bearing in mind we play Tuesday, and have the extra days rest with the Cup game on Sunday I would play as strong a team as I could. No game next midweek either so I reckon we should have a stab at it.

    Naturally, don't risk anyone who is struggling but if players are fit get them in!

    I agree with Commachio - MON likes the cups so hopefully he will go for it. It would be good to see a strong but perhaps experimental side with the likes of Noble being given a go.

    I work in Leeds where the locals are prone to take the p155 at every opportunity, though God knows they have nothing to crow about, so I would be really happy if we could avoid being knocked out by another lower league side

    Peterboro have been on a good run recently, they were unlucky to draw to Birmingham to an injury time penalty and drew away at Middlesboro.

    Their tails will be up and I think this may be a great game for Ryan Noble and Billy Knott to shine, but in general - I WANT A CUP RUN! Kill 'em Marty! :mad:

    If we are around about where we are in the league at the end of the season and we are in the latter stages of the cup I woudnt be too upset.
