No. I just see a bunch of medium quality third division players who need the confidence that winning on a regular basis brings. I think the "only trying in the cups" is a complete red herring as my judgement of them is that they are incapable of taking a side on with constant aggressive intent (which is what they need to do to "lesser" sides in this league) but who can "shut up shop" against better sides and catch them on the break. The whole philosophy is more acceptable against better quality opposition as the crowd don't expect anything other than a dogged fight, something they find far less acceptable when confronted by the likes of Fleetwood and Rochdale.
I see a third division club who will sacrifice its better players at the drop of a hat and see the real need for off-setting cup money that may allow that not to happen once in a while.
I see a club that hasn't got the patience to see the job through anymore and who think starting again every season is the answer. Having "started again" with the set back that always involves, I refuse to just sit through a year of dull as shit league games without the odd hope that we can actually thrust our name into the public domain once again and perform at something like the level, and against teams, that we know, deep down, we belong with.
Less than two years ago we were 45 minutes away from a Wembley Final and that's the closest we've got to anything like success in my 50 years of watching. I really don't know why people bother going at all if they can't get excited about that sort of thing. Each to their own though . . . . . .
