I always remember the season that Shrewsbury spent an eternity in the top 2 bar the last day... How, when we supposed to have taken their 2 star players, I will never know!

Talking through my shirt, I would rather hit the top at a late(ish) stage of the season like we have, unlike being there from September and almost trying to hold on until Spring.

I think what is most striking about this and what still shocks me is that in 2013/2014 Russel Slade was in charge of that Leyton Orient team. Christ.

Pedantic point time - we took Ogogo and Brown the season after Shrewsbury's brilliant season. :)

I can see us and Pompey getting promoted automatically. Rotherham seem to be drawing a few too many games right now - it’s such a scrap up there because you can’t rule out Sunderland either.

Every game really is a cup final for us for the rest of the season.

Noteablly Wolves and Bournemouth did not hang around long in the Championship and took their momentum to propel themseves into the premier league.

Whilst spending an absolute fortune.

I think you're better served looking at last years promoted teams, to gauge how we might do if we go up.

We all but beat Brum on their own muckheap, and largely outplayed them. Less pessimism and more optimism needed.
I have no doubt the squad being built is with an eye to a higher level. One or two players in is all that would be needed. Bournemouth had to rebuild a squad to compete.
Football can not be judged on what other do or don't do. There are far too many variables.

I've done a quick piece of analysis on the final 2 months of last season and it's interesting to note the limited change in positions in the top half of the table and the massive movements in the bottom half, with Oxford, Rochdale and Wimbledon showing top 6 form. Just goes to show that no team should be taken lightly at the stage of the season!

Agreed! The teams in the bottom 6 are often pretty dangerous at this point of the season - fighting tooth and nail to stay up. Tranmere, Rochdale and Wimbledon will be difficult games for a few teams.

Your mid table sides with nothing to play for are often the best pickings.
