cup shocks


Recommended Posts

In those days the gulf between the top tier and the rest was not as vast and we were a top second tier team. Not a massive shock but we were underdogs. It has always been quite rare for trophies not to be won by top flight teams

Yet even now, almost a quarter of a century later when it seems that most top tier clubs can't be arsed with the cups and put out weakened sides, we're still the last club from outside the top flight to win either the FA or League cup.

Not sure it is quite "can't be arsed" but that they think they can win certain matches with rotated teams and if they lose, c'est la vie. they are not taking it as seriously as they might. Some clubs come a cropper with this approach

It's nearly 22 years since we beat a prem team in the FA Cup and 31 since we beat one as a lower league team
