Wembley or Survival

[colincramb]

If you had to pick one, what would you choose? Survival in league one this season or a chance to win the EFL trophy at Wembley.

[ncRover]

Easy, survival!

[Scooter]

Both (survival obviously)

[anton123]

Lucky for us we just about have 2 evenly matched sides so they can both focus on there tasks in hand

[Stewmaiden79]

Survival. The thought of league two football and Refs again so soon. Please no.

[Reg of the Rovers]

It has to be both. We’re not talking about an 18 game champions league campaign - there’s a couple more games before Wembley. We need to be taking the next round very very seriously. Players and fans don’t get many chances for a trip to Wembley. Got to go for both full throttle now.

I have never seen rovers at Wembley (wasn’t living in the country in 2008) and by the same score, that’s nearly 20 years ago which suggests it’s a such a rarity. Relegation would be bad, but I’d edge my bets we’d be in the top 3 the following season.

[Upton Rover]

No brainer survival all day long, over a pointless egg cup

[Reg of the Rovers]

I agree with the sentiment Upton, it is a no-brainer - longer-term sustainability over short term excitement.

However, I think the one thing can lead to the other - JPT victory in 2007, playoff final victory 2008? A trip to Wembley will bring in loads more fans, loads of buzz round the club and help us keep building. But I agree, all that's for nothing if we go down.

But let's be greedy and have both!

Would we really take many down to Wembley for an EFL cup?

[Albert Trousers]

Didn't we take 20k to Cardiff for the JPT v Bristol Rovers, I reckon we would match that at Wembley.

[Donnybax]

It was a much more respected competition then though wasn't it. Still think we'd take a few to Wembley if we got there though 

[Padge_DRFC]

Didn't we take 20k to Cardiff for the JPT v Bristol Rovers, I reckon we would match that at Wembley.

Less than 10k would go. We'd be lucky to get 20k in a playoff.

[andy didcott]

Survival definitely.

[foxbat]

I would go ( and bring 3 with me ) .

Our form in the Vertu trophy need to be carried over , as players who have taken part may not always be regulars , it does show that we have players who relish the opportunity of not having to compete for league positions, it’s this mindset that need to be seen as lack of confidence in getting results in the league. With the new influx of player bolstering our goal scoring , I can see a final in the wings , though a possibility of a playoff  place may well be too far off , but if the confidence returns and results improve our League 1 place should not be a concern. We’ve done it before !!!
