Being the only unbeaten side across the four divisions has a nice ring to it, but it's a matter of fact that winning a game and losing the next (or vice versa) is more beneficial than drawing both.

What would you rather? Be unbeaten today, as is still the case, or won one/lost one of the last two away games and have an extra point to our name?

Points win prizes shirley? That hypothetical extra point could make the difference between making the play-offs or not, or automatic promotion or not, or - heaven forbid - relegation or not. So...I'd take the extra point any day of the week.

I'm enjoying being unbeaten, in fact we haven't gone behind in a game yet.

That will change (probably tomorrow), but, for now, it's good and morale boosting.

If you want to talk hypotheticals...

What if we'd BEATEN Bolton and LOST to Wolves, and we have one extra point, but ultimately miss out on a play off place to Wolves, who get TWO extra points...

Rather be where we are currently.

I think the pride and confidence built from being the only unbeaten team in England will win us more points in the short term than the other scenario.

Obviously we will draw tomorrow which will be disappointing because Cardiff will equalise in injury time. When the same thing happens in the following games we'll be saying 'stuff the unbeaten record, let's WIN A GAME!'

An extra point would be nice - but losing can easily become a habit. I'd rather try and keep the habit of not losing.......OK, I know it can't last for ever, but the longer the better.

I think the unbeaten run is great, but it becomes a bit of an abatross. Definitely take the extra point.

Quite. The unbeaten run will go at some point, guaranteed. It's a nice-to-have while it's there, but it's no substitute for points on the board. I'm genuinely surprised that anybody would think otherwise.

No brainer. Come the end of the season nobody will remember who was the least team to be beaten, but they'll recall who got promoted. Points on the board are what matter!
