They face a home league game with Radcliffe on Saturday.<br /><br />But he says he is still determined to reach the final, even if it means another fixture being added to an already gruelling season.<br /><br />"It would be going against my own beliefs if I put out teams I didn't think could win games. It will give me a chance to see what strength in depth we have and with all the games coming up there are some players we need to save.<br /><br />"We showed at Goole that we can bring players out of the reserves who can win matches."<br /><br />United kept their title hopes on track with a 3-2 win against Newcastle Blue Star on Saturday, leaving them nine points off leaders Skelmersdale with five games in hand.<br /><br />And while promotion remains a priority for Marginson, he is still dreaming of making the Premier Cup final.<br /><br />"It's important to the fans," he said.<br /><br />"Everyone loves a cup final, especially United fans who have such a great history in cups."<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17775103-6515937802175295263?l=punkfootball.blogspot.com'/></div>che liveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17002690662369975949noreply@blogger.com
