I?d imagine Nuttall would play the full game due to him not being able to play against parent club Oldham on the 11th

What about if Rochdale lose on pens to Wolves?I'm missing something here... we're qualified unless Oldham win or Rochdale win. Regular time or penalties.
If they both lose the last two games we're in the next round. If that isn't the case I'll need someone with a maths degree to explain why.
How terrible is it? Having to rely on other teams who also could not give a flying f**k about getting through to not get through... sh*t the bed big time last night.
Also with note to the fact Parky is on board or pro this cup. I don't know what about his sly digs about the comp or yanking lads off after 15 makes you think he respects it in any way shape or form. He's as pissed about wasted minutes in legs as any other sane person is.
I was hoping we could have shut the door on this comp forever after last night and yet here we are. I can't wait for the club to continue to devalue our main product with free tickets to mid season friendlies... It's well good to see it, from a die hard perspective.
If Oldham and Rochdale both lose then the teams they play get the points. Oldham play Man United which will put them on 12 points and Rochdale play Wolves putting Wolves on 8 points with a better goal difference than us.
No maths degree here just a bit of football knowledge
No maths degree here, and you're clearly not as knowledgeable about football either... but thanks for chiming in.

I wholeheartedly believe we can?t win the league with him in charge. He?s not bold enough away from home and his in game management is very poor. Of course I hope I?m wrong but my head and my heart are conflicted on this
The National League North was uncharted territory for him - yet he got us out of it in two seasons.
With the exception of the first year full-time (and we downed tools after the Trophy defeat) we've improved season upon season.
Yes, the in-game management is so frustrating - bloody infuriating - but you could say that about most managers, including those at a much higher level.
He knows a thing or two about Sports Science, and we do tend to get stronger as we head into the spring - so I'm happy to calm down and trust the process.
They were poor at the back but our team selection suited them.
No idea why Parky keeps playing a CM in that ever so important 10 position.
We are not getting anywhere near enough points away from home.
He needs to take more risks, our tempo isn?t great away, often on the back foot.
Need to stick with Linney and Newby central, with two wingers, one of the wingers having pace ( Reddin, Amulazor or Weaver ).
I feel that was two points dropped.
This is why I?ve said in the past that we can?t win this league with Parky in charge. No doubt he will come out and say ?managing minutes? with the defence changing AGAIN! If all are fit then it?s Banks Cooper Baines Golden. All great teams over the years are built on a solid foundation. 1-0 to the Arsenal was created because they were so solid at the back. Fergie wouldn?t rotate Bruce, Stam, Ferdinand, Vidic (different eras). Mourinho had a solid and unchanged back 4 at Chelsea.
Scoring 3 goals in a game shouldn?t be seeing a 1 point return. Stop tinkering with the team
Parky is the reason we?ve gone anywhere near being promoted out of this league. What an odd thing to say. Managing minutes is what you have to do sometimes, we don?t have the budget to put out 2 first team squads like a Chesterfield or Wrexham did and even York don?t quite have that depth. They tried to do it against us and got turned over. Clearly every manager thinks it?s necessary or they wouldn?t do it.
