Luton and Barnsley look good for promotion.lottery for Sunderland in play offs but they’ll probably go up.
If they don’t we have the prospect of them, Portsmouth, Bolton and Reading challenging for the championship.
Could be a very hard league to get out off next year if we manage to stay in L1
That’s not forgetting Ipswich
That will always be the case though and whilst the aim should alway be Automatic promotion let's be blunt we have been a million miles away from it since we got back into league 1.
people complain about our manager/recruitment but just look at the some of the teams mentioned above and their resources and they will always have first pick of the better players.
Time people lowered their expectations and started to realize we are a third tier team, the Lottery of the play offs give a false picture of where clubs are really at, yes they were introduced to keep the season alive and more interesting but when you're around 28-30 + pts from the top table it shows how far behind you really are and the difficult task of maintaining higher league status even if you scrape through the play offs.
