The Prophet Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Jonny, every fan wants to enjoy their football and win every game but it isn’t as simple as that. You’ve got to take account of your strengths and limitations in order to achieve your goals. A cup run would be great, but it won’t do as much good as promotion, promotion is the priority. Our squad is wafer thin and not particularly fit, any injury or fatigue in general is detrimental to that goal. Teams are capable of having more than one goal, but those teams tend to have larger squads or much less ambitious targets. It pains me to say it but a cup run this year provides little benefit. Realistically we aren’t going to win and it will only contribute to injury and fatigue. On no uncertain terms we must gain promotion. Another season in the Championship would be a disaster. Because this is so important injury and fatigue are risks worth taking, unlike a cup run which bares less significance. We’ve backed ourselves into this scenario by allowing the squad to become so small when we have such a significant ambition. Even teams around and below us have squads capable of competing on multiple fronts due to having more players and less ambitious targets. It’s sad these are my feelings because I love the cup and a run in the cup can be magical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBA have a game in hand because they had a game postponed against Blackpool. That will be played during the week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I don't think it's a bad draw at all. These two games against them in close proximity will probably define our season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Phil K Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Could have been worse. Aye, Arsenal or Chelsea maybe - dismal draw, for me, all the same.
