Doncaster 2. Portsmouth 3. Reading 4. Hull 5. Wigan 6. Cheltenham 7. Aldershot 8. Carlisle 9. Scunthorpe 10. Accrington Stanley and incase anyone cares the biggest under acheivers are.... 82. MK Dons 83. Shrewsbury 84. Brentford 85. Leicester 86. Luton 87. Notts County 88. Man City 89. Coventry 90. Nott'm Forest 91. Woves 92. Sheff Wed So, are we setting our standards to high looking for automatic promotion, should we be content with our League One status, or is the Championship our rightful place? |

I think that the club are being very thoughtful to the supporters by winning one year and losing the next, giving us the chance to visit different grounds each year!! Imagine the boredom of supporting "the big four" and going to the same away games nearly every year? Never a dull day following Scunny. |

I never said I want us to be a yoyo club just that I think it's the best we can achieve. If we have a few seasons in the championship then great but realistically we're more than likely to struggle in all of those season. Do you want to see us struggling every season? |

He talks about 'our football club' and he has been here for a long long time so surely that means he's got some committment to us. Plus we've shown faith in him by giving him a chance to manage so perhaps he'll show faith in us now. Cant see him wanting to jump ship at the first opportunity to come his way unless it was a more attractive option than Huddersfield (no offense to them!). |
