Like others I have had differing views about this competition.
Last year I wasn't bothered, but in hindsight it raised the issues highlighted by PTD and others.
We aren't likely to be winning any other cups, so should at least look to win our ties in this competition
This can focus a team, I think Brian Clough cited winning the Watney Cup showed his team they could win competitions.
Then there is the constant changing of competitors, competitors and sponsorship/ naming of the trophy.
Shame we've not had a decent away game, I'd even take Elgin.
I'd say taking it all into account, if its on the fixture list we should look to win it, with the best team available to the manager.
So, TL:DR. A good draw and hopefully we can get through to the next round.
