I guess it all comes down to money which is why we've got the Robinson on loan from Ipswich and the keeper from Peterborough, both of these clubs are probably paying all or half of the player's wages.
£4,500 in prize money for the winners tomorrow, then £7,500 for the next round. £4500 would pay for an experienced defender for 3 months I should think (£4,500 + £7,500 would more than pay for a top earner for the rest of the season) in which time Brown should be fit. Shows why we really need to take the cup seriously. Plus I've been a BUFC fan since year 2000 and never seen a cup run, surely this is the year?
