We did but over the season we never matched their achievements in any way shape or form. We are a long way from a promotion push under the current regime.
This pretty much has us about 16th or 17th which is highly likely. This is a tough division and there won't be much between 15-21 positions again this coming season.

I recon Brentford's bubble will burst soon. They have enjoyed 2 comfortable seasons but I can't see them sustaining it much longer.
But they keep finding quality players and they also have access to London based players who cant make a 1st XI elsewhere. I reckon they'll be comfortably safe again next season. Millwall, Burton, Bolton, us and even Sheffield United may all struggle
