Kid in the Riot Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 I love the FA Cup but we look a good bet to get to Wembley in the JP Trophy which will be a nice pay day but another 3 games we wouldn't have otherwise played. With our small squad and given how tight it is up the top of L1 I can't say I'd be too disappointed if we went out tomorrow. A draw would be the worst result mind.

Port Said Red Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 If we lose it wont be the end of our season, but there are good financial rewards involved if we can get through and get a reasonable draw, if we could get to the fifth round we could make more than the JPT final. It all helps...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotham Brow Red Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 One of either a. lose and move on b. win and get ManU away next round then lose but richer then move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS4 on Tour... Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 I see what you mean, it's always better to have a decent FA Cup run when you've got nothing else to play for, like when Barnsley had an unexpected semi (oo-er missus!)

The Fat Controller Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 I want us to win every single game we play. Regardless of opposition, competition, time of year or anything else. I want us to win absolutely everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Rizzle Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 No! The FA Cup is the only cup competition that actually matters. We could have done without the JPT this season. Call be a snob but it's a pointless cup competition for a club that aspires to be in the championship and beyond. Yes Wembley is a nice day out and all but it doesn't have the same spark (for me anyway) as a play-off final does. Get no kicks at all from winning that. I went to the LDV final in Cardiff and loved it but I'm over that now and the JPT doesn't interest me one bit. I'd much rather we got knocked out of the JPT in the first round and got through a few rounds in the FA cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 For far too long City fans have been unrealistic about our chances of winning something. We have a great chance to win the treble: Promotion, the JPT trophy and the FA Cup and it's about time people on here got real for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Rizzle Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Win the FA cup or get promoted? FA cup. There's always other seasons to get promoted. The chance to win the FA Cup, a real reason to go to Wembley, the exposure, the income, some giant killings on the way, Europe. It doesn't happen every year.

Red Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Lets get past Doncaster, draw a top club just to see how far we have come under Cotts. But promotion has to be the first target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippenhamRed Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 I want us to win every single game we play. Regardless of opposition, competition, time of year or anything else. I want us to win absolutely everything. I want what's best in the long term interests of the club. This season, with a very real chance of promotion but a small squad, being in two cup competitions (one of which we can't realistically win) does not suit our long term interests at all.

Exactly my thoughts on the JPT. It's no coincidence that our squad is beginning to look a little stretched. Could have done without all those mid-week fixtures that have got us to the area final. I hope the JPT, along with any potential FA cup run doesn't bite us in the arse when it comes to the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Are people seriously contemplating us winning the FA Cup...?! Go for the win in every game we play, but I won't shed any tears if we lose tomorrow. I'm going and hope we win, but see the other 2 prizes available as more realistic.

Don't think anyone has suggested we could win it. One poster asked the question as to what you'd prefer, promotion or winning the FA cup, which sparked some discussion.
