    In the 26 seasons since the Premiership we have gone from 31 games to Promotion 3 times
    In the worst of those 3 we had 45 points after 31 games 3 of 26.jpg

    Do you have the 15-game run to look at from season 15/16?

    I think most of us are realistic about our promotion chances now. The gap to 6th isn't the problem. You can make that ground up in no time with a good run. It's the fact that we're heading int he wrong direction and playing as poorly as we are. I can only see the gap getting bigger.

    Difference is we had a squad who'd run through brick walls for Barnsley in 2006, asa lot of them were local lads. 2016 we were on a meteoric rise and gaining momentum. 2019 we never lost at home and played brilliant football with a brilliant system.

    This year we're in the middle of a managed decline. It'll take an absolute miracle if we're playing Championship football come August.
