All of the first team squad given amuch needed rest

Sat Jan 05, 2013 5:52 pm

Best thing MM could have done was to not pick any of the first team squad today. The result and many of the performances wasn't the best but its the league thats most important this time around and thats all that counts I guess.

Other teams at the tope end of the championship would have loved to be in the position where financially they didn't need the FA Cup so I'd be surprised if any of them would have played a whole team of non-first teamers like ourselves.

So all in all come May we'd all look back and say that MM did the right choice today just wish some of the players would have taken their opportunity better.

Now for the record this is NOT a negative post!!!! :lol: :ayatollah:

Ha ha. I've always said I don't care about the result or the team selection. The only thing which has annoyed me is that the players picked didn't take their chance apart from one or two

spot on m8. they all needed a rest, and if we had played someone like mutch who prob needs game time, what if he had been injured by some mad part time postman :shock: . was just not worth the risk, todays result was worth 6 points onto the league total i reckon. massive respect to those who went as always. :ayatollah:

Agree with you 100% if Malky played 1st teamers and they pulled up holding their hamstrings and out for a few weeks he would get slated for playing them!!! Your damned if you do and your damned if you dont. Personally I'm glad we are out and just consentrating on the push for promotion.

The thing is that Whitts is already out injured so why risk his replacement in KimBo for such a game.

Well he hasn't been in the starting 11 much so he would be the better replacement

So KimBo hasn't been on the bench lately then ? Why do you think people think he needs game time then ? Because he hasn't Bern playing!!!

I have to stick up for the forum clown.
Kimbo is probably the best person to replace Whitts

Can I just check something - are you saying that you believe Cardiff is in a position financially whereby they don't need further income?

If you really think there's a pot of gold waiting for Cardiff if you get to the Premier League, you're going to be very disappointed.

Largest amount of tv revenue when we go up or £1 million if we win the cup? Which one would you choose? The jacks are the last people to criticise us for putting out a weaker team seeing as every cup is just a tin pot cup?

You don’t seem to understand what I’m querying - the original poster seems to be suggesting that Cardiff is already financially sound and therefore doesn’t need the FA Cup run and its associated income stream. I am asking the original poster whether this is true i.e. that he believes that Cardiff is financially sound. If he does then I would take issue with that view and if he isn’t then I would argue that Cardiff therefore needs all the income they can get and should not be dismissing anything including the FA Cup. Nothing is certain.

I'm Not happy we lost right now, BUT

I've got a feeling in a few weeks we will look back and say it was a blessing in disguise, and perhaps the players who did not perform will go out on loan and come back better players.

Now i dont know if im trying to cheer myself up or not but we will see :ayatollah:

Stuck between a rock and a hard place I'm afraid!! Put a strong team out and potentially get injuries to key players which could have an impact on our promotion push or field a younger 2nd team and hope to get a result and give the youngsters an opportunity to Prove themselves! Personally I think malky is very wise in the team he selected!! Yes gutted we lost but Malky is looking at the bigger picture! the potential of premier league football and the money that comes with it surely outweigh the prize money you could get for the fa cup ??

Whether we like it or not, or even own up to it, cardiff City are now tied in financially in totallity to VT, now if he is the club as the owner, then does the club/Vt need the income from the FA Cup, I'm sure he'd welcome all extra revenue streams, but I'm sure the bigger long term picture is paramount in his planning.
