Come off it,footballs about winning not finishing runner up,the finishing line is in the distance but its getting closer by the day,for what its worth i think promotion is a stone cold certainty,i also think we are now favourites for the title.....settle for promotion..you can count me out.

[Cartman]

so you will be upset if we go up but not as champions?

more melodrama!

As long as we go up I am happy, would be great to win the division but it's not the be all and end all

[JonB]

Would be nice to have another trophy but i'm not going to be overly disappointed if we dont.

[Goku]

I'll be very disappointed if we don't win the league. In my eyes we have the best squad in the league capable of playing the best brand of football therefore we should be winning the league.

Automatic promotion is minimum. Added bonuses JPT and Champions.

[RN Blue]

Promotion is and remains the aim of this season, how we get there matters not - as long as we do.

[BlueSince74]

Yes I would. Champions would be great but promotion is a must. Just look at what League 1 could look like next season.

[brianclose]

I would definitely settle for promotion and so would Paul Cook.

In the lower leagues the title is a bonus, a 'nice to have' if you will.

Rotherham only scraped third last year and look how they are doing now. Who won the title will be forgotten come August.

Promotion is THE Cake. Championship would be the Cherry on top!

No, but say Scunny went the rest of the season unbeaten and just pipped us at the post - you wouldnt begrudge them the title or be that disappointed then would you?

As an aside, I noticed last night that Ladbrokes have us odds-on for the title for the first time (could still get 7/4 at betfred). They are generally seen as the shrewdest of the large bookmakers so maybe they know something that some of us more pessimistic fans dont!

Well it wouldn't be soul destroying but I'd be disappointed we couldn't beat a side who have looked nothing but ordinary both times we've played them.

its not melodrama though is it its just a desire to see our team win,i think its a very modern day british attitude to just accept something as just being good enough,of course promotion is a job well done but that wasnt the question was it,the question was based on our current standings would you just accept promotion or would you take a chance on winning....so i will ask again cartman

option 1) promotion today but not as champions
option2)The chance for the best team in the league to prove themselves champions and go for the title.

We looked ordinary on Saturday but I dont think Wycombe are thinking they should be above us in the league.

As it stands at the moment with automatic promotion looking more and more assured I would suggest that both options are covered in any case!

[calvin plummers socks]

Title please!

Although I still feel after the last title there was a massive underwhelming feeling as we were so bad in league 1.
All that hard work gone to waste .

That's why I value the JPT win as better for me that the list title (in terms of personal rather than the actual achievement)
