That's exactly it. There's a player in there, and Tonda clearly wanted him to get some minutes in, and boost his confidence. Playing him off the big man should have taken the pressure off a bit as well. Fair to say it didn't go well.
If we get back there, and improve the squad, we've got much more of a chance if a cup win than we've got in this league. We ain't winning the cup as a championship club, and a promotion push would never be sacrificed for it.
