Just a few thoughts about my take on Saturday.

If there was any doubt about the Eisners priorities it's making a few bob out of the cups and to hell with promotion. The team selection was so daft playing everyone from the hard midweek away game I can only assume Jackett has been told what to do. A great opportunity to give game time to a few of the second-choicers blown and rest some key players. Now we have a couple of key injuries which hopefully are nothing too bad but unnecessary all the same. Cannon looked exhausted when he came off.

As to the game it was the usual impressive first half and falling away in the second. What I was really impressed with was the extra time performance after quite a few of the lads looked totally out on their feet in the second half of normal time. Shade lucky to win in the end I against predominately Ipswich Reserves who made 9 changes from their game against Sunderland.

I don't understand playing Williams as the second striker (which he is not) instead of Harness who was very impressive again and could have won it when he was finally moved up front and hit the post. Mnoga looks a really exciting prospect. Perhaps he should have started.

Well done! I love the FA Cup however I love promotion more.
