I hope so Doffer :crossed_fingers:

Had a good debate/argument with my dad earlier on a scenario where we would lose one and win one against Carlisle in the coming weeks.

I went for the league points (bread and butter and keeps us on the fringes) dad the cup progress (funds for window and maybe something to get a bit excited about for the first time in years).

It’s a tough call.

Win both

I’d take a loss in the league and progress in the cup if we had a guaranteed ā€˜big draw’ in the 3rd round. But because nothing is certain i’d go for the 3 points please.

Lose today and we’re 8 off the playoffs, win and we could be just 2 away. Unless we were guaranteed a top six Prem team away in the third round I’d take the points!

Can be tough. I prefer the cup win, but in this game no injuries and maybe a good result. I hope the MOTM curse won’t work.

Should’ve done a poll thing as it’s definitely a dilemma.

Let’s see how we get on without Kins :thinking:

Might make some value him a little more and see what he actually brings to the team :man_shrugging:

False equivalence - I’d wager we’ve probably lost as many games with him as without him.

Any argument about being a better or worse side will be a review after a few weeks/months - not a one off game.

Though I be right on here if we win 5-0 :joy:

One holding or bring Hutch back alongside Comley?

Yeah or Maddox.

I’ve said for a while now, I get the more 2 defensive midfielders with 4 at the back (but still prefer more of an 8 next to someone more defensive minded a la the Smith side) - but not with 5 at the back…

That makes me think… could this be more of a conventional 3412/352 instead ? With White at centre half and Bennett a classic wing back?

I had a similar conversation with our George yesterday. I went for the league points, he is super excited about the prospect of getting to the 3rd round of the cup. Quite understandable from his perspective, but in my mind, the league is every week and it will be a lot more fun if we have a real chance of getting in the playoffs.
