I'm afraid that's bobbins. Whatever the result is on Saturday, Tuesday night will have had no bearing on it whatsoever.

It won't. It really won't.

Exactly. In other words, resting players last night won't have mattered a jot either way (except that we're now out of the cup). You've defeated your own argument.

And why is that ? Its EXACTLY because of team selections like Hughtons last night. How can we as fans care about the League Cup, when the clubs we support quite brazenly couldn't give a monkeys. It never used to be like this. Before money became the be-all and end-all in the game, clubs used...
