Peterborough are probably the best footballing team in L1 and if they hold their nerve they should get automatic promotion. There are many other clubs in L1 chasing a top 6 place and nearly all are capable of beating each other. Consistency is the key in the run in and anyone putting a good run together from here on in has to be in with a good chance. Even Shrewsbury, currently down in 17th place but with games in hand could feature.
You cannot have it both ways complain that LJ had his best players taken away and then claim that it wasn't set up the way I describe, it was very publicly set up the way I described, within the crumbled 5 pillars.
He did have his best players taken away, how I described is exactly what happened. The hope was they would be replaced with equals, which was never going to happen...............as we found out..
The hypocrisy is mind numbing, when SC took us out of league one in our record breaking season delivering a championship for the first time in most fans lifetime, it openly denigrated on this forum as being a nothing achievement.
And why exactly was that? Brentford and Swansea have both managed it comfortably and probably also Reading.
Oh you've forgotten about GJ then!!!! SC's achievement was brilliant as most would agree on here......just couldn't handle the championship
What has GJ and SC in the championship got to do with this discussion? I'm sorry but when discussed about 9 months ago at least 2 posters rubbished SC's championship season by saying the league was weak.
Both Swansea & Reading have had the success of the premiership in recent times and Brentford aren't there yet.. One club out of the championship you've named that's had less success in the past as we've had
1For, you should know by now, if it has the name Johnson attached to it, it gets denigrated by many on here.
Reading were relegated nearly 8 years ago and Brentford exist on a far smaller budget than us but their recruitment far better, they might not have been promoted but they have far closer than us. And the reason is poor decision making.

I don't know about Brentford's budget, but their recruitment of players and managers is the go-to model in the Championship for sure.
You can say that by a load of other clubs that's made the premiership.....our decision making has been poor since the 70s.
Hey FFS don't call me liar, I know what I read on this forum and it was people claiming it was a nothing achievement because it was a weak division.
Well I've never said it that's for sure......but the players we had and brought in at the time were certainly good enough to have a good season.. What they did do was gel and so SC deserves all the praise he got for that..
Likes to be called "Nige" ! maybe it was a time thing , players " whats left of the squad!" are now gelling and getting used to playing the system … comments on here in the past have sometimes highlighted the fact players need time to gell .. maybe fast rotation of games and little time in between has been the problem? we will never know whether the board had held off another couple of games results would have been the same! WHEN WE DID WE SOLD HIM!
