Fair enough mate. I respect your opinion.

What about with our paper thin squad (currently) you happy to risk injuries/suspensions/fatigue to the squad?

Therefore, impacting on our league form/results?
No i stand with you on that point, our thin squad may not be able to handke it as of yet but we shouldnt be sabotaging any competitions.

You can say that again ;)
 
Play the 23s throughout the tournament with fringe players like Diamond, Younger, Neil mixed in.

IF they get all the way to the final. They've earnt to play at Wembley. Don't change the team for the semis/final

We can't do that. We need to play a minimum of 4 first choice* players in each team.

* Players who started the last league fixture
Player who have the top ten appearances in the squad
Players on loan from a PL team

Basically it's a competition designed to develop PL reserve players at the cost of EFL clubs. The competition is an absolute joke.
 
The sooner we exit this tournament the better.

We don’t need extra games onto our season. It’s cost us in previous seasons. It will cost us even more this season with a paper thin squad. We can’t afford to pick up injuries/suspensions/fatigue.

Promotion from this league is the main priority.
To be completely fair, having poor players and playing badly is really what has cost us.
 
Club should make it clear that promotion is priority and play the kids/squad players in the Papa John’s trophy and cups!
 
Our geordie visitor is right. Put out the required team, but treat it as a training session. Should never be in this Shit Cup to start with.
 
I've never been a fan of not trying to win every game.

That said, i think this trophy played its part in our failures last season and under Jack Ross. Certainly last season I think an element of players who know they weren't getting a new contract thought job done after that Wembley win.
