It's amazing how other championship teams manage it. Do you think any of the Coventry players who played in that amazing semi final last year against Man utd look back now wish they'd been rested? Memories that will last a lifetime in their career. Do the fans look back and say "You know what, the cup run really wasn't worth it, we should have rested players and got knocked out earlier". I understand sport science, I understand everything you've listed. But....... We've sacked cups off for season after season now and we've not progressed as a club. We've stood still. Regressed even. One worthwhile player sale in years. What if we did progress and Kolli had a stormer in the next round against Liverpool? How much is he worth then? What if we get to the quarter final and we get a whole new generation of fans onboard like what happened to me as a kid in 82? I come on here year after year at this time and say the same thing again and again. How about we at least try.
The big picture? What is the big picture? We've been treading water for years. How about actually try to compete as a football club in competitions. Never know we may actually achieve something.
Agree. We only enter 3 competitions and every year we bin 2 of them. It's disrespectful to fans. Yes I understand fatigue etc etc. But they're professional athletes. There's no game till next week. Yes we may get injuries, but we also may not, win the game and draw Arsenal at-home in the next round. Maybe next year.
Mid table at present sack off a third of our season. To finish mid table. If Leicester who are fighting for their lives in the Premier league can field their strongest team makes no sense that we can't.
Totally agree. I've seen teams in a fantastic position to counter attack and go backwards. Or perfect opportunity to cross the ball and try to rework it. Bin it.
