Or impossible to know?We might have struggled to win yesterday if we'd have the runaround from Leicester on the previous Saturday I'd tentatively suggest. Extra rest compared to Sheffield.

Extra rest compared to Sheffield.They had most of the possession and all of the best chances. They looked sharper and fitter than us for most of the game. That they played an FA Cup a couple days prior had zero affect on their energy levels. We won it with a piece of magic. They could have won it much earlier had Sam Johnstone not decided to become Gordon Banks.
So we have no idea whether winning or losing a cup tie makes a blind bit of difference to your league results. Who'd have thought it? Mind you, if someone out there does know there is a cause and effect maybe we shouldn't enter cup competitions and we certainly shouldn't charge to watch them.
I feel that this is going to be a never-ending loop of cup disrespect. We go up and we will need to 'cement' our lowly status in the Sky Wanky League, we stay down we will need to 'prioritise' our next promotion 'challenge'. Unless Tony comes up with the billions so that we can become an obnoxious marketing tool like Citeh. :-(
When we establish ourselves where? 😲
