The point is not that we don't want to be champions; we don't want to wish for results to help us win the league, if they jeopardise our chances of promotion. Sounds contradictory, but today's results were an example.
For winning the championship, Stockport losing would have been good, in that they'd be unable to overtake us by winning their game in hand. But that would have meant MK Dons entering the fight for top 3, and making it 4 teams for 3 places. So it was perfect that they beat MK. We want 3 teams, then a big gap to 4th. Not 4 teams slugging it out.
Ideally we'd simply pull clear of our rivals and leave them to fight it out. But it looks like we're struggling a bit and need help from them.

I respect what you're saying, but surely we want promotion on our own merit, and not relying on results for those who around us? If it's a 4 way fight then it's a 4 way fight, we should be able to rise to these challenges, much like Stockport did yesterday. Not just whimper across the finish line. Yesterday was really frustrating, we should be seeing off the likes of Colchester with ease if we've got aspirations of competing in League 1 next season. I've already got a feeling of dread about the Tuesday night Forest Green game, because I can see that being a nightmare too at this rate. It's not so much about winning the title for me, more to be promoted in convincing fashion, to build momentum for next year.

Maris and Clarke to start next at Wrexham if both fit
