FA Cup Semi Final Or Playoffs
#1

Simple question in advance of tonight, if you could either get to the FA cup semis ie winning tonight and against Liverpool. Or make the top 6 which would you choose?

In this scenario, top 6 you have a 1 in 4 chance of promotion. FA cup semi final, you also arguably have a 1in 4chance or winning it. Although obviously it's a lot less than that as would be against Man City or Chelsea probably.

Has to be play-offs - a trip to the promise land can set us up to become an elite club again.

Now then what about FA Cup winners or play offs  :confused:

Has to be play offs every time although the fact that it is exactly 30 years since we played at Wembley or made a major final is embarrassing, I believe just a handful of L2 clubs now have a worse record than us.

That is true SM but I'd rather not played there at all than to have played in the Johnstone Plaint Trophy for example.

I've gone play-offs. It has to be. 1 in 4 chance of getting promoted against teams who we have a realistic chance of beating.

Although if we got to the fac semi final it would mean we will have beaten Arsenal, Leicester and Liverpool. That's not too shabby.

I'd take getting done by Hudders tonight and then beating them in the play-off final.

As I've said on here before, I'll take no pleasure in getting stuffed by the scousers.

Yeah fair enough. The Forest I have come to expect in recent years would lose tonight and finish 7th in the league. I feel good things this year though….

This poll has really surprised me, I thought more would be up for a SF.

Losing in playoffs in any round would be worse than any option!

I would rank

1. Win Cup
2. Cup Final
3. Playoff win
4. Cup SF

Rest are all pretty similar. 

A 1 in 4 chance to get a chance to join Brentford, Watford, Norwich etc in getting crushed by the top prem sides isn't that appealing. Whereas a cup final or win as a championship team would be once in a lifetime opportunity IMO.

It was only meant to be reach playoffs as opposed to win playoffs FYI.
