No half measures.
Full strength team. Let's go and batter them.

We can play who we want, this is the League Cup not the Checkatrade.

1-1 and lose on Pens.Don't really want to progress in this so we can focus on the league, but I don't want to be hammered and lose confidence

That's the (Checkatrade) Trophy
This is the League Cup. Robins can pick anyone he likes

Concentrate on the League. The only priority for this season is to get automatic promotion.
Forget the cups and play the reserves and kids. Rest the majority of the first team.

We have a big squad. Just use it. Even if we lose 3-1 it will be good experience for some of the players like camwell deke finn ponticelli etc

It would be nice to get a victory and progress, but the league has to be the priority; we have to be promoted this year.
Plus, even if we rest 5/6/7 players, it won't significantly weaken the team.

Would love to be there but can't get out of a night shift.
We need to rest players when we can. Getting promotion is top priority. And those that hadn't watched football at this level should have seen the difference on Saturday. Players are less skillful. But a lit of them are big units who kick lumps out. Of their opponents. And the refs let much more go. It is going to be a long hard season. Players like Doyle and Beavon can handle it. But for some others it was an eye opener.
There is at least 50 games to go. As long as we put in a decent performance it doesn't matter too much on the result. Losing players through injury does matter.

We all want that my friend but the priority is the League.
As a number have commented, you cannot have both with a limited squad. Rest the key players and keep them fresh for 46 "cup finals" in the league games.
