I agree. We have them back in their box for now. I think on balance i'd prefer

to avoid them in the playoffs and hope someone else knocks them out.

I'm not sure we would necessarily avoid defeat in one of the games if we play them 4 times this season and whilst obviously knocking them out is the dream scenario and would be amazing, the alternative of being knocked out by them and them ending our 15 year run is pretty horrendous to contemplate.

      - Last 10 games - 2.2 points a game = 101 points (n/m) (NCFC) - Legacy Fan, Apr 8, 10:27:17
        
        Does that include 6 home games and 4 away by any chance? (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Apr 8, 10:29:39
        
        If so, 3 pts a game home + 1pt a game away = 2 pts a game, 92 total (NCFC) - Legacy Fan, Apr 8, 12:55:27
