Compared to getting out of this league making a few quid out of a cup run is an irrelevance and probably would end up being a distraction.
Butler picked exactly the right team today to give players minutes who are an injury or a suspension away from being needed in games that really matter. He probably hoped a team with 7 back up players would have enough to see off a side 2 divisions below us and I suspect he is quietly furious that they were not up to the task today.
I would put the same 11 out to start on Tuesday.
Thankfully Scarborough suffered a similar fate today so now face a tricky away game Tuesday.
