Difficult one aint it really.
I want to beat York, but then we could get a backlash when we play them in the league, or vice versa.
Always good to keep the winning habit aswell.
F.ck knows, footballs a funny old game.

I'll be even more confident we can win the league fixture if we beat them in the FA Trophy.

If it goes to a replay there may be a case for changing personnel around but tbh don't think it'll happen, think we'll win.

Just got to keep the winning habit whilst trying to continually improve at the same time.

Bottom line play the youth team if you must but there's never a reason for anyone ever wanting to lose any game.

How can anyone say it effects the league? If professionals can't play 2 games in a week they shouldn't be professionals. I bet all the players are buzzing they've got 2 chances to go to Wembley, I bet 90% of them have never been on the turf at Wembley before. The only downside to it I see is if someone gets injured in a cup game, but thats the risk you take. Every little bit of money helps from each round we get through.

If people actually want us to lose then they have to be morons...we are capable of winning any game and Saturday is no different. We have to keep winning, consistency is key and this close to Wembley too...

Calling it a tinpot trophy sums up the person that made that comment...I assume they think the JPT is tinpot even though it got us to Wembley twice...any trophy that gets you a Wembley day is good. I don't see us winning the FA cup any time soon...

If losing on Saturday was a guarantee of reaching the play off final then I could see the point, but we haven't yet been in a play-off spot, so take every game as it comes,

Some players will get rested anyway so WIN! Please.

With £25 on doing the Wembley double at 28/1 I would venture to say I'd rather we won every game between now and the end of the season.

I did a poll on this for the Bath trophy game and the result was 100% that we should win.
