Am i the only one who thinks Malky did the right thing?

But imagine if we'd have drawn a big team? United or City or Arsenal? Malky would have a toss up between resting key players for the crucial promotion push and getting thrashed by one of the big teams or playing the team that could win the game, your Whitts and Hudson's and then having them worn out because they're going for a famous win. I know people say "but if we're promoted we can do that anyway" but it's not as simple as that, people would demand that we try our hardest.
