one area to debate

so in the post match interview NF says some of the players were tired after 3 games in 8 days. I think he is right and that would have had an impact in the 2nd half, but to be honest one of those games we didn't need to play some of those players. I said it before and after leeds rest some key players and focus on the league. Now I know we are short at the moment but some of the fringe players could have played with kids on the bench. E.g. Camp, Broadfoot, smallwood, D. Ward and either newell or G.Ward using Ledesma, Thorpe, Collin, Derbyshire, JCH

He made a mistake and he admits it affected the game yesterday, how much we will never know

Agree! I felt and said we should have played half a team and used subs against leeds.

like you say, he cant have it both ways.

Unfortunately there are rules stating that you can't just chuck the reserves in for cup games.

?!

Thinking: thorpe, ledesma, collin, wood, JCH/Derbyshire , collins , richardson.

enough there to give half the team a rest and sub 3 after half time.

just a thought and maybe a bit radical and some would worry but I think I would have done it

I wanted us to concentrate on Championship survival well before the FA Cup kicked off this season. We should have rested a few players when we played Leeds United. There are now no real excuses to reveal that several players are exhausted.
