Would a hammering by Wolves be a good idea at such a crucial stage of the season? The FA Cup is indeed a welcome distraction from our league displays, and there’s no doubt the players would raise their game for such an occasion. But for all their stodgy displays this season, Wolves are still a decent premier league side, albeit managed by someone who should stick it up their bollocks.
The likes of Jody Craddock are still likely to notch up a cricket score, and if we’re still languishing in the bottom four by the time of the match then it may knock some optimism and energy out of the players – and leave us playing the billionaires of Notts County.
Would it be too boring and sensible to suggest we put the cup to one side this season and concentrate on safety? John Barnes had his hands on the cup once before. We need to focus on Les Parry’s tenuous grip on League One.
Your being a killjoy Holas! Its a one off game that’ll have very little bearing on whether we go down or stay up and it’ll give us much needed funds in difficult times. I’m looking forward to it. Its hard to see us getting anything out of it but the players deserve to give it a good go after good wins over Orient and the Shots away
