So here I am bored to bits this weekend and really wishing we were still involved in ANY cup competition!

My question is, when we beat Fulham a number came on forum bemoaning the fact that cup runs would cause us burn out etc etc.

Personally I don't see that as I believe a cup run enthuses the team, provides more revenue and gives us fans something to do (even a Sussex cup midweeker!)

Any thoughts out there?

Yep it was laughable that a certain poster wanted us out of the Carabao Cup as it would impact us in April😂🤦‍♂️

Good Cup Runs have a Negative effect on Lower League Clubs without Good Squad Depth. Lower League Teams who have a Good Cup Run always Suffer in their League Position at the End of the Season.

It is a Fact and has been a Fact for 50 years.

Fans who do not Recognize 50 years of Stats should not comment on these Fans Forums!

I expect you are at the final interview stage for the managers job as you are so stats focused!

Like I said back in October - The Mickey Mouse EFL Cup Run will have a Negative Effect this season! Batsy put out his Strongest XI for the EFL Cup Games because his job was on the line. So our First XI Boys were Playing Every Tuesday & Saturday when they didnt have to! That is no Good. Cost us 4 points in the League! Hopefully we do not go down by 3 points or less!

Fan sentiment can be a very changable thing!

I'm old enough to remember the days when Crawley fans wanted Steve Evans out of the club even more than they want Wagmi gone now
