Now at the business end of the season and with promotion very much in our hands should we do the same as Liverpool and play kids in the cup replay?
I was not at the game last night but reading some of the comments on here it sounds like fatigue is starting to set in. Then there is also the chance for injury.
As it stands we have 7 games in February averaging a game every 4 days. Three days after the replay we are playing Bolton which is surly a game we are looking to win if we want the autos.
If we win the replay then the game is scheduled for the 5th of March. That would be 4 days after Sunderland and three before Ipswich, both promotion rivals. The game could cause distraction for some players against Sunderland and just increase tiredness before Ipswich.
I know the cup brings revenue and we defiantly need it. However promotion would also bring an increase in revenue, so I think play the kids in the cup and let’s give ourselves the best chance for promotion.
