Bill 1,788 Posted January 22, 2021 Dies it have to be an 'either/or' ? The obvious downsides this season are that we have wall to walk games through Feb. Sat and midweek games from 6th Feb - 6th March so is it worth adding more games given that usual money spinners are not so important at the moment and without fans at games the money earned would be far less ps I have a bet on us doing the Championship double - winning both Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crabbycanary3 994 Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) The squad can handle both (for at least 22 more hours at least!). Let's go for both with some vigour Edited January 22, 2021 by Crabbycanary3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted January 22, 2021 If we hurry up and win the league, we can put out the first team for the final. Until then, Barden etc will do for me in the Cup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,200 Posted January 22, 2021 Winning is a good habit. I think Farke will take it as far as he can. Would be great to see us line-up against Chelsea and see just how far we've come. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,618 Posted January 22, 2021 Farkes always taken the cups seriously and we've generally done quite well under him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HazzaJet 252 Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) I can’t see us doing a Leeds, but what I don’t like about Farke is that he takes the cup seriously, Lambert called it an “ugly distraction”. There isn’t much money in it either which we don’t need, and I want us to concentrate on the league and would be more than happy to see us use our fringe players in it. Going on a cup run means more games, which means more chances for fatigue, injuries, and suspensions. There are loads of midweek fixtures crammed in due to the late start to the season, and luckily we haven’t had any fixtures postponed yet due to Covid. Barnsley say they’re going to field a full strength side and hopefully Farke won’t, giving some players like Barden, Mumba, Placheta and Martin a go rather than an unchanged side from the victory over Bristol City. I won’t be interested in the cup until we manage become an established PL side, although I didn’t mind it last season as by then relegation was pretty obvious Edited January 22, 2021 by HazzaJet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted January 22, 2021 agree with all if the above whatever team is put,it will be one committed to winning 'however should it not be a win, it certainly won’t be the end of our season, nor a great financial hit in the grand scheme of things though as ever I want us to win Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
