I truly hate watching games on the farm field pitches........divine technique players running the ball off the pitch is painful. lol

I truly underestimated Maidenhead, it's been a busy week so I did not research enough. They had a rating in the 40's last round and I was 2-0 down at half time, then brought on 4 players at 2-1 down and within 3 minutes went 3-2 up. The match ended with them equalising right at the end......4-4. I scored a goal to make it 5-4 and hung on in the end. Next round I will have to make changes as my trainees looked weak tonight despite being better than last season.

Arse. Now I've got to play one of the seeds.

I don't think there are any easy games from now on tbh. May have to juggle my side about a fair bit.

I went 4-1 up, then at half time they brought their big guns on, but I held on to win 4-3.

Chuffed with that result.

I managed a respectable 4-0 loss to Anfield. I also had more shots and better ratings. Working on buying a new fw trainee as severely lacking in that position

Comfortable win. Didnt expect that as my only firepower (Nev Bruce) carrying a hefty slight injury. Happy with that keeps trainees easy to train for another week.

Camus next round who hit mid 60's. I will have to start playing some bigger guns to stand a chance.

I saw that coming a mile off.

Your team is a lot stronger than last season so I will have to choose my lineup carefully :)

I've got Legia Będzin next. I don't think I can win that one lol

Elmstead for me. I won't divert from prioritising training so near certain to be heading out.

Anyone think they should make the prize funds a bit juicier in the cup (per round) to make the decision to train over prize money a little more tricky?

I think you should get a bonus the earlier you exit the cup, to cover the lack of income, when playng in friendly leagues haha ;) I say that cos im generally out and 2 or 3!!

On a serious note, I tend to agree. More money, more incentive. However, how much were you thinking? I have always sacrificed training over a cup run. Not saying I'd get much further, mind you. There's never enough of a financial carrot to make me switch to a cup over training, so if there was a decent size prize fund, I might try harder!
