Its all about priorities, Col

No it's not. Fook priorities. It's about beating our rivals in the cup and looking forward to Spurs away. Or it should be.

I mean this in all sincerity..

We are playing at home against our rivals, on the back of good form and with a chance of a big fixture in the 4th round and some of you really don't seem to give a toss if we win or lose.

Instead, you bleat on about 'saving them for Barnsley at home on Saturday'.

Has being a City fan really come to this?

The acceptance of a game like this as 'meaningless'?

I despair.

I agree Col

Totally unacceptable to have such an attitude

We should be looking to push on and gain more confidence from winning games, not just accepting defeat like we are "saving our best players for the league". That's rubbish

If we get through and the next round falls before an important away fixture- "FOOK SAKE PEARSUN WHY DID YOU GET US THROUGH"

Posted

Last year:

Cardiff out first round.

Hull out second round.

Palace out second round.

The success breeds success argument doesn't always hold.

 

Yea, but we're Leicester.

The resting players breeds success argument doesn't either.

 

But I'd rather win a competitive match than lose it.

In all honesty can we win the cup? No then we may as well get some competitive game time into fringe players and see what the new boys can do without costing us 3 points

We're fighting a losing battle buddy. Attitudes have changed so much. I'm afraid it's clear to see.

Is it an age thing?

A game like this at Filbert Street, Roberts, Kitson and all would have been treated with the same respect as any league game.

I despair.

Great post

Not being bothered about winning any game is awful.

It's a cup game, our cup.

It's Derby.

 

With a few exceptions I think it is an age thing.

Nobody on here could be bothered to go so no need for any high horses.

Some on here just couldn't make it for various reasons, so I don't know where you're coming from.

So we should never bother trying in the cup ever then?

This idea that it matters what our attitude towards this game is. Who really cares? It doesn't affect the game.

Interestingly if this was say the semi final of the FA cup would they still have a variety of reasons for not going?

What's all this about a possible great draw?

 

All we ever hear about is "shite draw", "meh", "wanted someone else".

 

Yeah but it's still better to be in it. Cup draws are shit when we're not in it.

I'm sure we all would. But what's the point in our other players if we're not going to use them? We have to plan our way through the fixtures. We also don't have the biggest squad so rotation matters. People like Was, GTF and Hammond were always going to need game time tonight.

If you want to blood young players you drop them in one at a time in a team that Know each other.

What chance does a young kid or a new face have when played in a team that doesn't know each other.

 

Poor decision

When's the last time a Championship team put both the league and the cup on fire at the same time?

You're bound to fade in either competition in the long run.

We don't have the necessary depth in squad (yet) to allow enough good players to step up to the plate, replace their comrades equally and to give them a rest.

Cup draws always seem to be shit whether we're in it or not.
