Normally, I like a good cup run, but on this occasion I simply hope that we avoid any injuries before the Sandwell Town clash.

Difficult one really. If it was next week after our clash with Sandwell, I'd hope we'd field a relatively strong side, because I think we could beat Everton, but as it is, I think CP should put those on the fringe of the first team out.
It should still be a decent game, as Everton or any of the PL sides won't prioritise this competition at this stage.

This is the scenario I questioned a couple of weeks ago. I thought it would be better for our League chances to lose in the Cup, so we reduce the extra double week games. I don't like to lose, but I will not be upset if we field our backups for Everton and bow out.

Agreed, it's highly unlikely we'd win the Cup anyway. I'm just hoping we do play a weakened team because, as stated, we really do not want any injuries before Tesco's. ?
