Not sure Rafa wanted to win this one!
We only had one regular first-team player in the side we put out.
Promotion has to be our priority this season

But surely he wants a winning team! Any sort of defeat can have a detrimental effect on the players' confidences.

Agreed NTH but as Bugs said he played the second team against a team with a notorious home ground and the home fans behind them. No sympathy but Rafa obviously feels that this wont be a setback in reaching the goal of the premium league. Time will tell

Can't affect the confidence of our first eleven Nellie as ten of them had the day off!

Some of us would prefer a Boro v Lincoln final! Cracking goal from Stewart Downing, but the rest were woeful misses!

How about a Blackburn v Boro final, and then we could both go.
It's a pity that Newcastle didn't get thro' and then drew Blackburn as we'd have had a great chance of winning!!

Yes, that would be a good one. War of the Roses all over again! Mind you, we would have to trek to Wembley, although I think I could manage that for FACup final!
