In all my yrs of watching football, I’ve never seen any cast iron proof that putting out a weakened team in a cup tie, pays dividends in the final outcome of a teams season.
I remember a few seasons ago now, when Burnley managed to go deep into both domestic cups and still managed promotion to the premiership.
Only last season Lincoln City got to the FA cup qtr finals and still managed promotion.
For me, keeping a winning mentality, or in our case this Saturday, trying to get a confidence boosting win, is the only show in town.
