made the playoffs? It's very possible now, Coventry are not far off free fall....last 6 form guide 21st.
Sunderland went from botten end to winning championship a few season back i think - after roy keane took over. Millwall went from top at xmas to relegated as well so in reverse.
Burnley won just 3 of their first 16 games in 81/2, the first season with 3 points for a win. They then look like they won 18 of the last 30 and went straight up, there being no play-offs back then. http://www.clarets-mad.co.uk/results_fixtures/1981_1982/burnley/index.shtml
I've looked in this division for the last 15 years or so and not found anyone come close as far as I can see. Bristol City were bottom 2 seasons ago at christmas and finished about 11th with 58 points. That gave them the momentum to win the league the season after. I think that's probably more important than finishing top 6 this year. Momentum for next year. Sent from my I-Oven using the internets
