    would 3rd or 4th be better, my reckoning 3rd will play 6th and if 6th sneaks inn at the death they will be right up for it. maybe 4th would be a little better.
    just my reasoning.

    We sneaked in to 6th 2 seasons ago. We were right up for it. The team that finished 3rd wiped the floor with us.

    Injuries to key players and poor management decisions did for us, nothing to do with final placings at all as I remember.

    Didn't say it was only to do with skill. They played us off the part in whatever manner they needed to.

    This unfortunately, there’s many ways to win a game of football they played to their strengths and we couldn’t cope on the day

    I don't really care where we finish. It's more about momentum in the last few weeks of the season, so we need to be going into the playoffs on the back of a winning streak, playing well with confidence.

    I don't think there's a best position out of 4th, 5th and 6th.

    Whoever finishes 3rd will be on a bit of a downer though, especially if its close and they bottle it final day.

    I think we stay 4th tbh, being the best of the none parachute clubs isn’t a bad place to be given the way we ended last season, we’ve as good a chance as anyone over the 3 games, bring it on
