TOP 5 TEAMS..... 12PTS CLEAR WITH 5 TO PLAY NEXT 6 TEAMS ........ 7 POINTS CLEAR THEN THE BOTTOM HALF, 13 TEAMS ....10 POINTS COVERING THEM LAst season biggest gap was 7 points covering bottom 3
I said right from the off that this is a poor division in terms of real quality teams, and that has been illustrated many times over the course of the season. Consistency has rewarded Brentford and Wolves, and to a degree Rotherham and Preston, but as for the rest of the 18 teams behind them, they are frankly no better than each other. Even in the top 6 Peterborough have been inconsistent, Orient are now falling away and lower down Sheff U (and us to a degree) found some form too late for it to be of much use other than avoiding relegation. Walsall and MK Dons are also too inconsistent to have been a real threat
