No, not the polar opposite of what you are saying but its a place we have already been and won so why should we not play a team that can win the game? I understand what you are saying, it would be great to concentrate on the league but if we could have a good run in this cup wouldn't that be good as well and give us much some much needed `unbudgeted` income.
God I wish this thing didn't exist. Damned nuisance. It's almost like a punishment.
We'd all be kicking ourselves if Carey or Boateng picked up a nasty injury in such a pointless endeavour. I hope Adams keeps our key players out of it. Sod the money - stay at the top of the league and the finances will sort themselves.

It's one of those; if we win great because it's a competition clubs at our level actually have a good chance of winning but if we lose so what, hopefully we've got bigger fish to fry this season anyway.
Is it a distraction? I wouldn't say so, for me it's a good chance to try out some of our fringe players really. Youngsters like Harvey and Purrington have got to prove themselves somewhere, why not a cup game where a defeat wouldn't be the end of the world.

The Coc comp was a prime example of the pitfalls with Jervis getting crocked and out for the all important Pompey match. Fringe players please because I doubt we will get enough extra income out of it to by some discounted paint to cover the bogs let alone enough to make any significant difference to clubs coffers.

Opportunity for fringe players to stake a claim and provide competition, that's all this nonsense competition is good for.
Game time for Threlkeld, Cox, Harvey, Rooney and anyone else who Adams hasn't really seen in competitive action yet

My choice would be
McCormick
Threlkeld
Nelson
Bentley
Purrington
McHugh
Cox
Tanner
T Harvey
Rooney
Brunt
Bittner, Simpson and Reid unavailable for this game.
That said, I am not sure Adams will be as radical and may make no more than two or three changes.

I'm sure Sheridan mentioned a rule last season where you can't make more than 5 changes from your previous league game for this competition - something like that. Guessing that's still in place, therefore:
McCormick
Mellor
Bentley
Hartley
Purrington
Tanner
Cox
Boateng
Wylde
Brunt
Harvey
McCormick
Mellor
Bentley
Hartley
Purrington
Tanner
Cox
Boateng
Wylde
Brunt

Not bothered about this competition, the League is priority this year and with are small squad we should be resting our important players. It's not even like we have a chance of a money spinning tie if we get through.
Bittner
Threlkeld
Bentley
Hartley
Purrington
Tanner
Cox
Lane
Wylde
Rooney
Harvey
Bittner
Threlkeld
Bentley
Hartley
Purrington
Tanner
Cox
Lane
Wylde
Rooney
Harvey
We are still gelling as a team, I suspect he'll make a couple changes not wanting upset the development of the first team. Although we have started well, there are still things to work on.
Taking advantage of being here for a few weeks, I am going to head south (as the Bishop said to the Actress) to see us in action at Wimbledon in the JPT on Tuesday - esp as it is PotD.
I wonder if DA will try and give a few more of the squad a game...? Maybe see how we fare without Graham Carey, perhaps even replacing him with Tyler Harvey? Try Threlkeld at RB? Simpson in MF? Rooney up front?
What would you do...
