Well getting straight 3 points is way better than actually playing though especially in your current position where you need to reach the top 4 for promotions
Yes, in my situation is really a bless, and not only for the 3 free points but also for the +3 in the goal diference wich gives me a +10 in the overall, is super important the goal diference at the end of the season when you are fighting for spots.
I only hope B1gabudge is in good condition and nothing had happen to him.
