The sad truth is there are only a small number of clubs that win the trophy and only a slightly larger number who can get to the final and aim to lose gracefully. Sadly we fall in neither camp so it is the classic example of a distraction especially as relegation is a real threat. The caveat though is the more home losses we have the less chance of reaching mythical attendance levels and ‘growing the game’ I’d like us to go at the game and win as an added bonus the more you progress the more likely you are to get to Wembley in the 1895. The downside is that I think we will rest plenty as our squad is so bizarrely thin and, of course, who ever gets to the 1895 will get a spanking off Fev unless they are heavily Dual reg’d up.
