Cantiaci Canary 610 Posted August 29, 2023 (edited) Why have Sara, Idah or Duffy anywhere near the squad? We'll be kicking ourselves if any of them gets injured in a competition that we have zero chance of winning. Just play the darn kids!

It’s no more likely in a cup game, especially this cup where you’re not fronting up against some overly keen minnow with players trying too hard to win a big hard tackle. Tbh the FA cup is far more of a hazard in that respect Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you limp off in a league game then fair enough but this fixture is unnecessary. Let the fringe and yoof show what they can do. Then again ... I trust in Wagner so if he thinks it benefits things then so be it. Good to top up fitness I guess (and confidence for Adam - hopefully!).
