No purely cos every other club disregards it until the Semi Final too.

This it effects league form is just a convenient excuse for managers. You have big squads for a reason. The absolute most idiotic thing is when midtable prem teams play their reserves. If your a manager surely you want to win trophies or what is the point.

every single manager has the same attitude so its not a convenient excuse its a reality. more games increase fatigue. and increase odds of picking up injuries. both can effect league form.

Jacks 5 nil up at half time.
Half second string.

Expect their club and fans are buzzing.

Momentum kept and
Competition for places keeping hunger up.

Thats the cup for me.

The shite we do is divisive and
Ultimately demoralising....

Half? More like full :D

Not a single player on that team will be starting next league game.

Well maybe 1 to reward performances tonight. Possibly Naughton as Bidwell went off at h/t last match with possible injury.

Llanblue, we do have a big squad. It's just imbalanced and not very good.

And a proper Swansea second string comfortably turns over a league two side.

And they have several home grown academy players in first team.

When will we see that at CCFC?

Are we the only side with injuries? Is that not what a squad is for?
