Firstly, it does highlight how desperate we are for squad players that keep the quality level of the first team, the majority of those that started yesterday are championship players.
Secondly, our PL form has taken a bit of a knock over the last couple of games while the likes of Man Utd have been picking up wins, being out of the FA Cup will ensure we have 1 game a week while the big 6 have 2.
Having just 1 game a week will keep us in good stead for chasing the top 4 finish, the table will look a lot different by the end of February, we have quite a favourable month whereas the rest have some awful fixtures, id rather have our games than Man Utd's or Spurs's
