We tend to get well beaten when the opposition have pace and power up front
Barnsley and Rotherham dont have that, so our relatively slow defence can manage them in the same way they handled league 1
so Stoke are 12th
if we could beat them we are 5 points behind them
would not be a bad return from the 1st season back
Also - Every season, MR has finished strongly, so why did we ever doubt it
12 team league. Same fixtures each week. Minimum away crowds. Probably interest for only 3 or 4 after the first few games of the season. Tv audiences will quickly dwindle.
