But, far from being a hindrance, Blues boss Lee Casswell welcomed games in the FA Cup, FA Trophy, Staffordshire Senior Cup and the Doodson Sports Cup saying, “I’m delighted with our progress in the cup competitions because it has enabled me to give chances to the whole squad.

“These games are an opportunity to give players games and are a good thing for the squad strength”.

Blues have played no fewer than 15 cup games so far this term with at least two more to come in the Staffs Senior Cup and Doodson Sports Cup.
