I agree with Dickov on this..The day out at the Millenium was a great day out and I would love another trip to Wembley in a competition we have a good chance in if the draw is kind.We have to field a certain percentage of first teamers anyway..So lets go for it for me...

If the league points/injuries situations are critical at that time, then a re-prioritisation may be understandable.
And winning the JPT last time spurred us on to better things.
Here's a novel idea. Award bonus league points depending how far you progress in the JPT. For example, the winners could get 10 points added to their league tally, runners up 5, regional final losers 2.There's an incentive to go for it.
