The only good thing about the cup game is it gives the players another chance to gell into a team.

Do you realise the importance of a good cup run?...of course we all want league wins but it is a massive game for us for financial reasons,a win in front of 8000 odd will get us a home draw and another decent crowd and the chance of big bucks if both matches are won.
Can't wait for the match personally.
Near the top of the table, winning games and we'd pull in 8,000+ every week. This seasons goals should be promotion - nothing else matters. |

That's a good point, as long as they don't come out with the "the team are tired" card. |

Maybe not to you,but the board who are juggling the finances may disagree....pulling in hundreds of thousands extra because of a good cup run will be paramount in there thoughts,and mine as well because the performance at Bristol shows me that given a few more matches we will be on our way. Beating Southampton will confirm this,to me anyway. |

Then I suggest the board spend less time looking at balance sheets and spend more time looking at the league table. I understand football is a business and all that bollocks but I dont care. Its a sport and the point is to win. No one should want to stay in a fucking awful league two for any longer than one season. Cup run + no promotion = fucking awful season. |

Agreed,but
No cup run and no promotion,even worse...its common sense that a good cup run is good for the club regardless of the league season.

Being in anyone of the cups right now means at least one extra game to put things right.

More playing time for the team to gel as well. |

More cash for the club.
League is priority, but that doesn't mean we dismiss the cup competitions.

I've done all my moaning today (until tomorrow night  ). Bring on the Saints. Going to be a very very tough test and I'm not expecting anything. A spirited performance is all I ask. They are certainly not going to be any Bristol City pushovers. |
