Not for me it wouldn't. Better than last season but not a successful one. I guess it would also lead to us questioning would we have finished top 4 without these extra games. There's no way to tell but surely much better chance. Top 4 trumps this trophy and the Carabao Cup. But I think we can still finish top 4 and win the Carabao Cup. Top 4 and Conference League would be much tougher. At least the Carabao Cup would be finished with a couple months left to close out the season though.
I agree with you in this post, but I just wanted to point out the contradiction in saying "The important reward is silverware" while also saying top four is more important than a trophy.

I'm disappointed. I was looking forward to a little tour of Albania culminating in us winning a European trophy.
