How many would have not travelled if they knew he was changing 7 players ?
For decades this club has some of the most fickle fans, I don’t know why but we do. So after all the recent trauma people have been working together and gates are on the up, So why put it at risk ? A cup run is vital, you play your strongest team and get the job done. Want to do 7 changes then arrange a kickabout.

Compared to getting out of this league making a few quid out of a cup run is an irrelevance and probably would end up being a distraction.
Butler picked exactly the right team today to give players minutes who are an injury or a suspension away from being needed in games that really matter. He probably hoped a team with 7 back up players would have enough to see off a side 2 divisions below us and I suspect he is quietly furious that they were not up to the task today.
I would put the same 11 out to start on Tuesday.
Thankfully Scarborough suffered a similar fate today so now face a tricky away game Tuesday.

15 quid is a bit of a piss take for the replay, with a few premier league teams on the Box it’ll only be the hardcore down at GP Tuesday.

Jeez, why does it have to be rather have this than this…. why can’t we want both, like we’re not allowed a cup run and promotion, yes if it’s a binary choice of course promotion is number one but do we have to discount a cup run because we not allowed to have or wish for both. We concentrated on the league last year after the embarrassing exit, that worked well.

Tom Jones looked a tidy play for them.
That’s not unusual.

He probably won’t play as well Tuesday as he prefers the green green grass of home.

“Club targeting single punters dropped the price for them, costing me and families more than for a league game 1 senior 2 kids, From being free for kids under 12 last season they now want £5 each wtf.”
Possibly down to the FA rules rather than the club’s decision?

Would be surprised if there were more than 2k there Tuesday.

Agreed, no reason we can’t have a good run in the cup and still do well in the league. Seems to be an attitude that has filtered its way down from the premier league.

I think we’ll win on Tuesday night. 90 minutes hard work by the Newcastle players on Saturday and then most of them will be at work doing real jobs on Monday and Tuesday.
I hope we do get a bit of cup run, but I don’t see the changes Butler made on Saturday as disrespect to the cup or Newcastle town, any combination of our squad should have been capable of a win there and it made sense to rest some players for such a game. Glanford Park on Tuesday night they will put it right. If people would rather watch champions league or Man Utd on telly, or think the gate price is too expensive then don’t go, it’s that simple.1 user thanked author for this post.
