Only the league to focus on! Now there's a massive squad of which half will leave because they aren't getting any game time. | | | |

And I’m not sure we would have taken 40,000 to Wembley either. Had we won it, but continued to struggle in the league (and I’m not saying we won’t continue to struggle) we would have been a laughing stock. | | | |

What are you on about? If half don't play against Accrington they'll appear at Tranmere. | |

Oh and we're also in awful form in the league. Oh and the manager keeps making the same fck ups time and time again. Oh but dw it's just a cup | | | | Login to get fewer ads

We didn’t play our strongest team either. (Although I’m waiting for the “we never do” quip!). I’m just saying that it wasn’t a cup worth winning and we need to prioritise league form which is poor. I think we are agreeing. | | | |

How can you not understand something that simple? Less games = less chance for players to play in an already massive squad. Your suggestion is to rotate them in league matches even more. | | | |

Good, as we need a clear out. Nsiala and Edwards can be first out the door! | |

It's kind of a moot point. Our problem in the league hasn't been that we have too many distractions, we've had weeks without games at various stages this season. | |

Agreed!! All this talk about us having the strongest squad in L1...well we don't. | | | |

Which teams have stronger squads than us? | | | |

The best team wins leagues not the best squad and if Lambert could ever work out what his best team is and play them together regularly so that they could actually become an effective team we might have a chance of promotion. But he's had half the season and failed to do that do far. | | | |

I still think we do but several are not playing up to expectations, some are having a poor season and there is obviously no consistency in selection. I very much doubt if any other team can match our squad if they were all actually playing at their peak. | | | |

Sorry, was being sarcastic. I don't think Lambert should rotate but he will and you're right, the EFL did give a chance to other places without (supposedly) affecting the league side. | |
