Gives us every chance of beating 'boro' with a rested team of course your right nothing is a given Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does that make last night's team selection look? Yes, but we arguably give ourselves a better chance by resting a few for Saturday. Football management is about taking gambles. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. Gary Monk isn't going to sit there and be worrying about a hypothetical scenario where we lose both games. Right or wrong, we, like most clubs, will prioritise the league. That's just how it goes. Edited September 25, 2019 by SiJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect them to have at least one more. A team with 8(i think it was) changes going up against a decent premier league team, happy we didn't get mullered to be honest.

Owlsend Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Not really bothered about yesterday’s match we all know the outcome of that anyway Liverpool Man City final so what’s the point in trying I know it sounds a bit defeatist but nine times out of 10 that’s the why is it going to be a big team against a big team at the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough but I'd arguably watch my team attempt to win every game and give it's self the best chance of doing so in every game. Guess i must be an old romantic but i always played sport to win.It just seems fashionable to simply write games off nowadays and nobody blinks an eye.

Arguably, we had the better chances. But yeah, it wasn't our strongest team. We are hardly unique in putting league before the cups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm sure they got over it in about a week and moved on. Much like Spurs will. Bet nobody remembers that result apart from Radio Sheffield and Wednesday fans. Great atmosphere and fun at the time But i'd have given a right arm to beat Fulham last Saturday. That's the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many right arms do you have? Or do you mean you would have given someone else's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
