Based on our League position? No. There's more important things to concentrate on. Palace have different aims to us this season - and besides, they'll only get tonked in the final if they make it that far anyway. The FA Cup - that's a different kettle of fish, but not the League Cup. Next season, if we make it back to the Premiership, then give it a crack.
The League Cup does need re-vamping though - God knows how, but most managers use it as a chance to blood squad players or youth. Perhaps a better reward at the end of it or better financial incentives.
