    That performance shows why you need to pick a strong squad for every cup match, well done on weathering the storm and doing the business COYI !!!

    DM should be resting players like all other Prem teams.
    I don’t want to see us lose or play badly but first things first and that HAS to be survival. Many are tipping us to start climbing the league table but nothing is a given in football these days.Starting with your strongest 11 is long term suicide-the risk of injury too great. One youth on at the start and maybe another if all goes well, for me.Our next match is Sheff U away and they made 11 changes and won!!!

    I’d be delighted to see that team but we all know he will make at least 6 changes to last time out . FA Cup has really been devalued.
