CREWE ALEXANDRA v DERBY COUNTY FA Cup #1 | |
1445 Sunday 5th November 2023 | |
Just when we get a good one match momentum going, along comes a distraction which serves to derail us or does it?
The perennial question arises, is it better to get knocked out of a cup and expend more concentration on getting promoted or would you like to see a decent cup run? Some feel quite strongly about the FA Cup but to me, it lost its 'magic' when Man Utd were allowed to defer the 3rd round in 2000-2001(?).
So, to win or to not be embarrassed? Good contingent of Derby fans travelling on Sunday - lets hope we are still one of the balls come Monday evening.
