Whether it’s Sat or Tuesday , I think he’ll take the opportunity to give some lads game time. I’m thinking Hulme, Osborne, Pringle, Gould will all get a run out, possibly Denanga too.
I seem to remember PP doing this once before. Not only did we exit that particular cup competition, we subsequently went on a losing run in the league. Pick a strong bench, get our first choice team to clinch the game inside an hour, then give the subs some exercise.
Correct, we aren’t a big enough club to disrespect a cup we’ve Not got to the 1/4 finals of for 28 years. Which is frankly f**king ludicrous in itself.
Since we last reached the last 8 of this competition it has been won by, and this is only a sample over that 28 long years
Macclesfield
Kingstonian
Canvey Island
Burscough
Grays twice
North Ferriby
Brackley
Fylde
Hornchurch
Bromley
So the last thing we should do is make another half arsed effort in it, we’ve not one the thing for 36 years of which most of that time has been spent in the top flight. And it’s easier to win now since the playoffs became a thing
