So no then? You've just decided they and the management team are getting nothing from this game and you think they're being humiliated. I don't. Agree. I don't think this is humiliating, I don't think the management team and the players will either. Challinor is a winner as well - he will be no doubt sat on that bench angry and biting his lip until it’s bleeding that he has had to do this out of necessity. He hasn’t done it because he doesn’t care about the cup.

It's also not all about maximising chances for Blackpool, it's about workload principally. There's a decent chance, if the fixtures had been the other way around, we'd have made lots of changes for Blackpool. Not as many, I admit, but it's not as a simple as you portray. We have managers in the premier league whining about the best athletes in the world struggling to play three games in a week so I don’t know why it’s being scoffed at that our manager in league one doesn’t want to do that with a wafer thin squad which needs to cling on until at least the international break That and that plenty are coming off big injuries and haven't add a full preseason. It's a perfect storm. We need to bring more in, pray that Tanto and Bate (and Hughes) are back for Blackpool, then Fiorini, Powell and Stretton, and continue a root and branch review of behind the scenes. But for now we take our medicine (pardon the pun) and suck it up.

I think being 4-0 down inside half an hour is pretty humiliating for young players, yes. Doesn’t mean they’ve let themselves down, but it is nonetheless humiliating.

Do you just choose to ignore the interviews/ fans forum where he clearly explained where we were in terms of fitness/ minutes in players…? It’s not rocket science that risking players who aren’t up to full speed (which is still a lot of the first team who played on Sat) with three games in a week would increase the likelihood of further injuries. You could also make the case for getting more minutes in the players legs, anyway this one is written off and it'd be the same if we'd lost on penalties. If it was that simple everyone would cram in 10 matches at the beginning of preseason.

I think Challinor has got this one wrong I’m afraid. We’re light on numbers, I get that, but what’s the worst that can happen if we play a few of the better players we do have available? We might lose at Blackpool? So what? There’s a decent chance we’ll lose at Blackpool anyway. Likewise there’s a decent chance we’ll win at Blackpool anyway. I think we’ll give League One a really good crack this season. I actually think we’ll make the playoffs. But I don’t for a minute seriously think we are going to be promoted. Not should we, these things take time. Should’ve taken this game more seriously for me. I agree he's got it badly wrong but he's got so much credit in the bank he's allowed a few cock ups however I think we've been a bit disrespectful to the competition and to the paying customers, Hedley for instance drove from Grimsby for this, maybe we'd have got another knock tonight but we'll have others back. To be fair I think anyone going tonight had a good idea what sort of side we were going to put out.

No it isn't - save Ben! - and I'm getting behind the lads from my sofa and haven't had the pain of the goals going in, but I don't like being suggested that kids are being humiliated when they aren't. 5-1.
