Definitely. Though some dins on here will say let’s concentrate I the league and bin this off.

Personally think we have more chance of reaching the FA Cup final than the Play Off final.

Definitely agree we go full strength v Arsenal.

Blasphemy to even think this - but if we are getting well beaten, we will probably give up on the match and make subs with the league in mind.

Before the Fulham game i was all for us concentrating on the league and putting out the youngsters but since the victory at Fulham and the showing yesterday i'm all for putting out our strongest side and then only sub our best players off if the game gets beyond us. We have momentum, lets smash those gooners!

It's simply the reality. I'm all for prioritising the Arsenal game but it will come at a cost. We'll have to accept the real possibility that we get trounced by Arsenal AND have to play a weakened team against Wrexham.

The former requires beating significantly better teams

Personally, I think this is pony. 
 

We have to beat the best side in the country, then maybe the second, third or 4th.

Arsenal, yes. But after that Port Vale and Leeds shouldn't be too difficult.

No hope, Arsenal will dispatch us. We still need to be right on our game to make the playoff. Even after the good run we have been on we are still 3 points off 6th and 6 points off 5th. It is relentless. I just get a feeling we have a wobble in us which will spell the end for us. We do not have this luxury, so let’s hope I’m wrong… please! 🙏

Are Hull planning to do an emergency loan of Barcelona's entire starting 11 or something?

Id play the under 15s side against arsenal and give the entire squad a rest. We ain’t winning the fa cup so what’s the point of risking our chances of the play offs. Would really piss off the PL as well particularly if it was on tv.

We’re measurable - but not overwhelming- odds against making the Play Off Final.

We’re massive odds against making the FA Cup Final.

Why would the Premier League be pissed off about an FA Cup game?

If anything, it shows that the Premier League is higher thought of than the cup, if that’s what we did.

We have to win 2 games to make the cup final. We have to win maybe 6 or 7 in the championship then get through another 2 to make the play off final. I know which odds I prefer.

Any other rationale than the potential number of games? Personally I can’t see us getting past Arsenal. I don’t want us to throw in the kids but my priority would be Wrexham and I wouldn’t be upset to see a few changes to manage the squad accordingly.

Why would that piss the PL off? Wouldn't bother them in the slightest.

The only people that'll piss off is a large chunk of the fanbase.

So we hd a better chance of winning the FA Cup this season than getting promoted all along. Before the season started its only 7 games to win the cup so much more likely on your logic.

[Football Special]

First thing we need is Arsenal to get through in champions league this week. Without the distraction of an away 1/4 final in that a few days after our game we'll be stuffed
