For me personally, I'd like to see fringe players given a chance. Don't really care about the result, as awful as that sounds If we were playing anyone like Palace I'd agree about not caring about the result, but we've got a real chance to go to Chelsea and take the piss out of them in their own backyard. I really hope we do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegans Export Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 I definitely care, obviously I want us to win but if we don't I reckon I'll be over it within an hour or so. Usually that'd ruin my week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be the icing on the best cake we've had in 20 years Wish Joelinton was playing, what a BOSS he's been for so long now. This comp just reminded me of how vital he is to us: warrior! ?

It'd mean more to beat them if they were their "usual" selves, if you get my meaning? Anyway, I'm sure come kick off I'll change my mind and be desperate for a win as usual Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Pundit Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 (edited) I just think these sudden 'injuries' and changes to the first team to accommodate various absences, probably means the club isn't massively bothered about the outcome of the match. From a personal stand-point, yeah, it's always nice to annoy teams like Chelsea, especially with everything they've been involved in recently, but I'm not going to lose sleep if we just 'take part' today. We're looking at about £2m in prize money aren't we? So not going to make much difference on that front.

He’ll put out a team (barring injuries)with a plan to compete and win, nothing less will do Edited May 28, 2023 by PauloGeordio Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just meant I don't think it's a disaster if the players are already on their hols, I don't think the club (Eddie excluded) will be too bothered either way.
