Fair-someone mentioned Walsall………We’re 1/3 to be promoted, stop bricking success.
How much of a gamble is it though? We're clearly the best team in the league and would potentially need only 42 points from our last 34 to make the play-offs from here. That's bottom 8 form over the course of a season.So, we were having a debate at the weekend if you were offered a guaranteed playoff place at the end of the season-would you take it now or take the gamble to stick as we are and hopefully cement a top 2 place?
Couple said playoff-the majority said stay are we are.
We have plummeted before after being top around this time of the season. (2015/16)How much of a gamble is it though?

And it doesn't feel different? A team of teenage loan players in 15/16 v the most settled high functioning squad in the Championship. Then some of the worst signings ever made in January 16 in the history of transfer windows v the high likelihood of recruiting 2/3 players in the Matt Grimes quality bracket. We also had 5 less points at this stage in 15/16.We have plummeted before after being top around this time of the season. (2015/16)
Exactly.Gamble on automatics. The thought of another play off makes me feel physically sick
but we could be in premier league and Europa league -Exactly.
We need to fuck the F.A. cup off as well this year, we dont need any distractions.
Exactly.

No. To progress in the Cup you have to win and winning is the best thing for camarderie and our team are great on that, just look at us at the moment "cloud nine".Exactly.

Have we not learnt from our previous F.A. cup exploits? Getting to the semis was brilliant, but it has to be a factor in us failing to get to the playoffs.No. To progress in the Cup you have to win and winning is the best thing for camarderie and our team are great on that, just look at us at the moment "cloud nine".

The extra games means more fatigue, not to mention the extra risk of injuries.
Imo, we stay lazer focused on the task of getting promoted.
We might never have a better chance, and why risk it on a cup we arnt likely to win anyway.
We have a manager who spent most of his career competing at the top end of the table and working for managers who wouldn't accept second place.As we are. This is our best shot at autos since relegation from the prem. you don’t give that up. And we all know what a lottery the POs are.
The EFL's scheduling of the Hull game so soon after the semi final was a large part of it. That and starting Sheaf and Thomas when they were clearly knackered. If we had to start our strongest team for appearances sake we should have done what Savage has done at FGR this season and subbed them off after a few minutes.Have we not learnt from our previous F.A. cup exploits?
