Yes i don't understand the "weak championship" theory.

Yes there haven't been any teams absolutely run away with it (in the fashion of Leeds and Burnley last year)

But we made the playoffs last year in 67/69pts i can't remember, and thats already not enough this year with two games to go.

Sunderland finished a comfortable 4th on around 76pts last year, and that might only just be enough to scrape the playoffs this year.

Reserve judgement on the "parachute teams being shit" argument until season has ended.... but its still possible that one goes up automatically and the other via the playoffs

67 would've been enough last season. Which I think is just a reflection of how the top 3 ran away with it, Sheff Utd getting over 90 points and coming third is very unusual.

From memory Leicester got decent crowds last time they were in League 1.... certainly better than we managed. But can see them struggling to repeat that after falling so quickly.
