    I was about to post the same. Last time I was all for survival. But then when it sunk in what we had missed out on by losing to Cardiff, and the (un)likelihood of us ever getting another crack at the final versus the fact that sooner or later if relegated we would come back up (and on historical evidence it would probably be sooner), I would have to go for the FA Cup. Maybe not the semi alone, but I'd take the cup final if it meant going down. Then again I'm absolutely confident that if we do drop then Flicker will bring us straight back up. Didn't have the same faith in Davey.

    Cup run to generate some much needed cash, which will enable us to get a better calibre of player in on loan till the end of the season.

    It's not one or the other mk dons could knock us out and we could still go down.

    I'd pick cup run


    And who knows gained confidence from cup run could keep us up!

    I'd say survival, but for me, we're just prolonging the inevitable. We simply can't compete in this division on our budget, and until a takeover happens, if it ever does, then I think we'll either just be staving off relegation, or sooner rather than later, suffering it.

    We haven't won anything for more than one hundred years, and probably never will during our lifetime (unless there'll be some dramatic changes in football or at our club)... I'd choose the cup win any time!
