The replay will bring added pressure – and cost

No one really wants to be playing a cup tie on a Tuesday night, and fans were right to be annoyed at the scheduling from the FA and BT Sport.

Now a replay will have to be contested, again in the middle of the week, and fans can either shell out to go and watch their side or stay at home and watch the TV coverage.

In one of the most financially punishing months of not only the football calendar, but also in general, you cannot blame people for staying at home.

Not only that but with the fixtures coming thick and fast, Martinez will not be keen on another one to deal with.
