Perfect night all round really.
Invaluable experience for Golding, TG and McGinty, good minutes in the legs of Jones, Bates, Brown and Gorrin, and enough minutes for some of our form players to keep their form ticking over. Good to get Brannagan off the mark. Prem clubs in the next round so could have a fun little away fixture. Tasty.
FWIW don't know why people get so vexed about using the cups for a bit of squad rotation. It's nice to have a cup run, sure, but really I'm more pleased with the minutes in legs tonight. Make it through a couple more rounds and it will start getting excited - at this stage though, with no prize money, it's not worth much more than a competitive run out for me.
