I posted a video of the last time we beat a genuine big team, it was frightening that was way back in 1966.

Allied with the fact that England haven't won anything either since then and you get an idea of the frustration of being an old PNE (football) supporter. In answer to the question which is more important, I'd say 3 points. As to the likelihood of beating City, there's so many variables (which team they play--we play). Unlikely but not impossible.
 
Beat Man City.

If only to put an end to eternal 'we never have good Cup runs' or 'do Giant Killings' tales of woe that get trotted out en masse every season.

Beat City, I don’t honestly believe we will finish within 2 points of the playoffs. Plus the scenes if we did beat them would be unrivalled

Agreed, I’m sure we’ll comfortably make it more than 3pts ahead of the playoff threshold, but what if it costs us 2nd or 1st place?!

Surely the enjoyment/achievement of beating opposition of that magnitude would be the main thing, not a 'told you so' to other fans.
 
My gut feeling is to take the three points v Birmingham on Saturday. However at 5pm on Saturday....just to allow for added time....I will change my mind and go for a win v City.
 
Beating City. Stadium full of people who rarely attend league games? A giant slaying might just convince them to stay for a few more games. An extra 1000+ on home games for the rest of he season will be worth more than 3 points.
 
If we beat Brum, it’ll not get talked about anywhere. If we beat citeh, the whole world will be talking about it.
I’d still like us to beat Brum though.
 
Beat City.

Packed Deepdale witnessing such a massive victory would live forever in the memory. Football should be about excitement and fun.

And anyway - victory over City, might just boost confidence (even get Trev to splash a bit more cash) - and it might lead to us picking up extra points at a later date.

Wouldn't mind takings City scalp and losing at Birmingham if tbh.

Never seen us take a 'big' scalp in decades.

Plenty more points to play for after the Brum game.

There is no "bigger scalp" than making it to the prem, ie 3 pts v Brum way way more important than a one night success v Man City reserves.

Beating City would do nothing (apart from a rise in confidence possibly) for our prem aspirations but beating Brum would keep us in the mix for at least another week or two, and wouldn't do our confidence levels any harm also.
