My take on this is out of the two comps we should prioritise the FA cup, purely and simply for the money, at this stage in our relocation we need the chance of some financial gains. Yes we could go all the way in the trophy (although I doubt we could win it). If, and I stress the word if, we win on Sunday then the financial rewards could be significant. The trophy prize money is fairly poor, so imo the manager made the right decision to play some fringe players, we had enough chances by the sound of it to win the game with the players he selected. I am pretty sure if he had selected Thewlis, Thanoj,Abbott and Knowles and one or two of them picked up injuries that kept them out of Sunday’s tie this thread would be mostly condemning him for not resting the said players. I ask you who’d be a manager
