Should a club like Cov have made the playoffs by now? (1 Viewer)

[OyJimmy]

Are we the only club in this league that hasn't made the playoffs?

I don't think Doncaster, Peterborough, Watford or Barnsley have

 

[Otis]

Watford have. They went up to the Premiership.

I thought it was actually that we are the only team who hasn't either reached the play offs or been relegated while we've been in the championship??

 

[Otis]

Nope. Think that refers to us being the only team out of all the divisions that hasn't been involved in a play-off at any level.

Yes we are the only team never to have been in a play off in any division. Rochdales promotion to Division One 2 seasons ago means we are the only team in any of the four divisions not to have had a top six finish in the last 40 years.

 

[derbyskyblue]

Never finished in the top six since 1969. A truly pathetic record.

 

[Houchens Head]

I thought this was a well known fact guys? I've put this statistic on these threads a few times now.

 

[Mr T - Sukka!]

Should we have made the play offs by now? No not really. We have not been good enough since being in the championship,

Thats why the crowds are so low. No hope of us achieving anything.

Its worrying really, during the premiership days, weren't we the fifth longest serving top flight team. I don't know, but we must be close to that achievement in the Championship. Perhaps we could aim to do that in all four divisions. It's worth thinking about as a goal, it'd be attainable and more importantly cheap!

 

[Mr T - Sukka!]

Tom, you are right City are now the longest serving team in this division. This was due to Prestons relegation.

 

[OyJimmy]

I'm sorry but a club like Cov should be doing better. This shows really clearly that Sisu just arent doing their job properly.

 

[Paxman II]

Yes we should have made a promotion bid in the prevailing 10 years at some point. So yes we have under achieved.
That does not rest solely with SISU. The previous incumbents have all shared that responsibility!

We were the 4th longest serving team in top flight. Arsenal, Everton and Liverpool were there longer. Liverpool were up there longer by a couple of seasons longer if I remember right. Man U got relegated after we went up but went back up the next season I think.
