If you look a the money up for grabs for winning this round, plus the lack of potential funds from a big name due to a lack of fans in the stadium, I wouldn't be adverse from giving some of the youngsters ago. If the defence is fit, then play them as it's clear they need to the time to develop an understanding, but anyone that has a knock or half fit should probably give way to save them for the league.
Agree fully with this, get the squad rotated where we can and give some of the Youth some game time. Interesting to see how KC plays this one.
