    Would you rather see us beat Fleetwood in the JPT semi-finals and lose our next league game, or would you rather see us get knocked out of the cup but win in the league? And no, winning both is not an option in this stupid poll, even if that would obviously be my favourite scenario. :smile:

    3 points definitely, as good as a day out at Wembley would be it wouldn't make watching 4th division football next season any better

    Avoiding relegation is our number one priority at the moment, but the recent matches have given me some confidence that we'll be alright at the end of the season. For that reason I'd gladly "trade" three league points for a chance to play at Wembley. Winning a trophy would be a massive boost for the whole club (yes, even if it's just the "tin pot trophy") that could be worth a lot more than three league points in the long run.

    If losing three points meant certain relegation, then I'd definitely agree with you. But I think (or certainly hope!) that we'll be ok... Winning the FA Cup might be enough to make up for that, but that scenario is even more unrealistic than this. :p

    The league is far more important.
