If you had to choose between:
a) Win the cup game and lose the league game (3rd round payday?)
b) Lose the cup and win the league game (Onward and Upward)
c) Two draws (Keep the cup dream alive and a credible point against one of the favorites)

Which and why?

Prefer the League if had to choose. More beneficial to long term future of the club

Not an option. (But a possibility)

League for me although the prospect of a 3rd round payday against a prem club is exciting, the league has to be the priority for me.

Anyone who says Cup needs their head testing. I'll never understand how this can even be a question unless the league was already decided.

I would say league but if a big third round payday was guaranteed I would certainly consider it.

Would normally always go league but a big 3rd round away day could give us soon room to improve in January and end up making a bigger difference come May.

Would take a 7-0 defeat in the cup if it meant a 1-0 league win. However we should and will be aiming to win both games as they’re at home. The FA Cup 3rd round would be fun but anyone prioritising that is crazy

Both, get Man United away in the third round, out of the million quid gate money Sepalla might lets us have £100k.

Kick lumps out of them in the cup, giving them major injury problems.
Then beat them in the league.

They might do that to us if they play their second string on Sunday and we play more regulars. Hopefully Wycombe will nail a few of their players tonight (hopes the partisan side of me!)

This question is a non event. League all day. Points or a chance to scream at the tele?!?

these type of questions are odd, like the winning both isn’t an option.
Like when arsenal fans or whoever get asked finish 4th or win the FA cup as if they’re mutually exclusive

Mass changes for Ipswich I would imagine for the cup game a match we should really expect to win!!

That draw'd pay for enough players to more than make up for three lost points.

Then lose to them in the league because so many of our players will have been suspended after being sent off.

Even then. How would an absolute pasting help us?
And I wouldn’t be in a rush to go. Genuinely wouldn’t care.

Unless I could manufacture some sort of all dayer out of it.

Yup. Much prefer a winnable game against slightly less illustrious opposition, than the half and half scarf big boy games.

Except, get drawn away to Tottenham, I would enjoy that. Another ground off the list.

The cup match is first, so saying league you are giving them a "free defeat"

Just read that James Norwood (Ipswich) got booked for protesting a disallowed goal against Wycombe and so misses the league game against us a week on Saturday (also means they are more likely to start him in the FA Cup game). Sooner it was that way round if I'm honest.

Depends on the circumstances - I would rather go as far as we can in the cup in our current situation with some trips to the bigger names - getting promotion is obviously a target but in our circumstances is unrealistic with no ground and unsure of what type of budget we would have for the championship - I certainly would not like to be beaten 5-0 every week as there is a big jump from League 1 to Championship as Luton and Barnsley are finding out

I understand what you’re saying, but that viewpoint from fans and football managers is helping drive the drip drip reduction in status of the FA Cup. A great shame.
