The attitude of the league being more important is bizarre. They have a team which has shown it can beat anyone on their day and they don't want the manager to have a good go in the cup? I don't get it.

Weird oppo view, don't get me wrong, they have a decent team with a good coach but they aren't getting top 7... the FA cup might have been their best way to get into Europe.

From what I can see, some do and some don't. A little like us then.
Both sides were not at full strength and the conditions were awful. Nothing to say they would have won if they had their 'A' team out, may have lost by more.

They've gone the fastest from 0 - delusional in years. They aren't even as consistently successful or difficult to beat as Burnley were up to a couple of seasons ago.

As someone else said, their fans are quickly becoming the new Reading. Hopefully they head the same way.

Quite Simple really...Putting a So Called "Weakened" side out in a game you "Really want to win" is I'm afraid a f*** Up...or Naively stupid.
DM wanted to win and put what he considered a Strongish side out...not a full strenth one, a Strong one with enough to win
in his estimation,which we did.

Thats just Logic...Not Rocket Science a game of footie is it..Cup is series of one off must win games...League is series of 38 games,
Maybe take a fresh look at it Thomas... :wink:
If you wanna fully concentrate on the League..fair enough,but don't whinge and blame game when you lose your cup games.

Shame, have a soft spot for Brentford and what they are acheiving,But used to like and admire Harry as well..... :lol:
