We should be giving ourselves the best possible chance of winning the game

The game at CR showed the limitations of the squad - the replay was an important game, so look what we did! We were knocked out by a side 19th in the Fourth Division: that makes it one of the most humiliating defeats in our entire history, yet on here, there are loads of people just shrugging their shoulders as though it doesn't matter! I don't get it.
