GD is a secondary factor the obvious must be to attain as many points as possible to avoid the promotion being decided on goals again. In accumulating the points we may improve our GD It is much more important to sit on a 1-0 win than concede a goal late on going for a 2nd and thus only...
last year we didnt improve our GD well enough but if we can do that this season in securing the points that would be a bonus but points are the foremost priority.
I may be jumping the gun and presuming too much but I believe that the 3rd place will be occupied by a team with less points than the top two rather than GD. So we must just keep taking the points and let the other teams worry about catching us.
