I apologise lads/lasses if this has already appeared in another thread...

But I thought it was interesting for those who hadn't seen it, to view this post-Lockdown Championship Table.
Hopefully it posts, the way it was saved, on this forum?

Interesting eh?

Now don't get me wrong, I've offered lots of criticisms of Steve Cooper during this season, so I'm not sold on his coaching style and many on here, better qualified to pass judgements on him than me, have raised significant points, as to why we didn't do better than a P/O place.

However, after that pulsatingly exciting end to the season last night, a season when most of us felt we'd probably struggle, especially without Oli and Dan. You have to say the results of the 9 post lockdown matches, shows our record is pretty damn good.

By that I mean, 9 matches, times 5, = 45 matches (plus one more) which makes up a season.

So, our 17 points, times 5, = 85 points over 'a season,' with one match left to play. Automatic promotion form undoubtedly.

Have we collectively been a tad unfair on Cooper, it is after all, only his first season in professional football.

Anyway, let's all enjoy the Play-Offs and thrash those Bloooooturds in the Final Wembley showpiece.

It wouldnt be auto promotion due to the fact that 4 teams matched or bettered our post lockdown totals
