What's the point of playing a weaker side .We have Arsenal in the tin pot trophy then the game at Lincoln next week is cancelled. So any fringe players can play Tuesday. Any injuries probably means they will be rested.That apart it will be our strongest side as they get a rest next week anyway.If Evans plays weak team : Gills 1 (Akinde) Woking 2
If Scally pushes for strong team , for the much needed money - Gills 3 (Akinde 2, Graham ) Woking 1
100% agree Chris (see FA Cup thread) - but Evans may have prepared the squad with a weak team, and let a few like Demps, Graham go off on a weekend break, before the Lincoln game called offWhat's the point of playing a weaker side .We have Arsenal in the tin pot trophy then the game at Lincoln next week is cancelled.

Short sighted to field a weakened side .Losing is not a option. The Gillingham team Evans plays simply has to be good enough. Attendance might not be possible but future revenue isn't going to be helped if we lose.As I have said there is a chance to rest players after this game.Matches produce injuries and the money to be made from the Cup this year isn't as good.
I imagine they don't see it as worth the risk with 2 players already out for the season.
I'd love a cup run but it's not the same this season so I get it.
