To me Tuesday is FAR more important than a possible cup run where we could get Salford away in round 3 and lose. Promotion is worth far more than a small cup run.....Although we'll probably lose on Tuesday now is true Notts County fashion

It doesn't have to be either / or. History shows that many clubs have used a cup run to ignite their season and get promoted as well as having epic cup memories. It seems modern thinking is to prioritise one over the other, which I struggle to understand.

but when your sick list is like ours, it might come down to either or - if we did get promoted this season (x), it's not inconceivable that tonight's loss would have been a major contributing factor - or alternatively, if Platt's injury is serious, it might be seen as a mistake to have risked him (4th yellow and Walsall up next etc.)
