     I don’t understand people.  I want to see us progress as far as possible in this competition.  Give me a lower division club at home any day of the week.  Cracking draw!

    It's simple: 

    1) league is more important;

    2) the chance of reaching the final remain slim in any case, so it would be more interesting to challenge some big PL teams until you're still in the cup than playing more rounds but against Championship/lower leagues teams. Getting this chance only once/every few years, just to live new dreamy nights like those of the 2017/18 season.

    It's a little annoying to see other EFL teams playing against the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and co.  in early stages, while we had to do extraordinary things to "gain the right" of playing against the Manchester clubs, a season that was obviously difficult to repeat. 

    If we had been more lucky in our best seasons - the playoff one & the cup run one - and reach the PL,  glamour cup matches would be less captivating...

    Wilson can play LWB so possibly Tanner at RWB and Pring as a centre back meaning Naismith can have a rest ?

    It's an option, but changing Naismith too would mean replacing two defenders out of three + the goalkeeper: maybe too much, considering that Wycombe play at home and should be quite good despite being one level below?

    ...............O'Leary

    ....Vyner...X...Kelly°...Pring

    Benarous...Scott...Reid°...Bryan°

    .......X...Conway....Semenyo

    Xs could be filled by Idehen/Towler  and Edwards/Bell if they will progress well. 

    Not bad, eh?

     

    Not to forget some potential reserves who were sold in recent seasons (Wollacott, Morrell, Nurse, maybe others?) and Academy players who seem to be highly regarded by Tinnion & co., like Kadji, Francois and Palmer-Houlden.

     

    Obviously there were many youngsters who didn't succeed, at least at medium or high levels, for many reasons (overrated skills, pression, injuries,etc.), but it is happens to most teams...
