Personally I'm not too fussed about this. The number one priority this season has become cash from the FA Cup run. Additional income here will be invaluable for the months/year ahead.
League is next but realistically it was never going to be a big push for promotion season. The new ground won't be finished, we need to build gradually and it needs to be sustainable. Play offs at best.
FA Trophy is never going to be a big money spinner unless you get towards the end of the competition. That's why I went fishing today. CE was never going to put his best 11 out.
If Craig had played some of the key players today and they had got injured or sent off then he'd be in for plenty of stick from everyone.
Of course it's nice to win every game but we're still competing in the two most important competitions that we enter. It's not like previous years when this could have meant that we have nothing left to play for.

Craig went back on what he said in Friday's interview then. I wonder how many would have travelled had he said he would be fielding the fringe players.
Players can get injured during training - so using your logic - will training be banned until after the FA Cup tie at Rochdale?
We had a very good chance of going a long way in the FA Trophy and perhaps win it - that won't happen with the FA Cup.
