Agree. Cup competitions are distractions that risk injuries and burn-out, and that even if successful bring fleeting joy. I think every supporter, given the choice, would prefer promotion over a cup. But are we free to just opt out?
No. If clubs started doing that the sponsors would pull out.
 
That's pretty much how I feel. What's even more remarkable is that if some of the young CB's start to tire after Xmas, we will have Xhemajli back, then hopefully Willis towards the end of the campaign.

If we are right up there at Xmas and LJ feels we need to strengthen, I feel confident that KLD and Speakman will back him.

Not taking anything for granted, but quietly optimistic all the same.
Unfortunately for the lad I can't see Willis appearing for us again

Both seasons we’ve had games in hand that would have had us 2 and we blew it. We had 3 shots at getting above Peterborough last season and we fell apart.

The cup run has cost us twice for me, ran out of legs.

Definitely true for the game we lost, not so certain last season... but yes it is a distraction and tires players out mentally and physically.

Yeah more the first season, we were in a position I think we went into top 2 then just crashed. Last season the other 2 were better than us but we still had the games to do it and ****ed it.
We did the hard work by not losing to Peterborough and Hull City away, yet lost 3 games in between them, then after Hull we couldn’t even beat Accrington nor Northampton at home

Aye, we really did have the opening. That said I think clearly they were better balanced sides the 2 that went up.

It looks different now, calculated, planned. We look and feel totally different this season, even in the good runs last couple seasons it’s always felt a bit wing and a prayer.

Im hopeful we will. Obviously the rehab improves all the time, look at jiminez! Additionally, I don't think we'd give him a year just out of the goodness of our heart.

that is a valid point imho, we rarely looked as if we were going to score in many (most?) games, now i feel we will score and just a matter of when, the next step will hopefully be knowing we will score just a case of how many...the current set up is reminding me of an early reidy style as if things are coming together nicely.

Definitely mate, and when you look at clips of Huggins, him at RB is going to give us even more.

Lad looks a weapon.
 
Sheff Utd clearly need cash - hence the rumours of wanting a large loan fee

looks like their **** start has put them into panic mode and so rather than loan him out they want to sell him and take short term cash

madness.
