A competition is a competition, either we enter them with the aim of winning or at least progressing as far as we can or its just a waste of time for all concerned - I'm sure Swindon Town remember their league Cup win with pride and if bigger sides field second string teams then surely that evens it up and gives the lesser teams a sporting chance?

If not then whats the point? Yes rotation but changing the whole team is just bonkers, if it happens in the FA Cup then I will be very miffed - if a team can get fined for not fielding their strongest team in the league then the same rules should apply to cup competitions IMO.

As for we are not likely to win it so it does not matter, well are we likely to win the championship? If not does that matter as long as we avoid relegation?
