Looking at league 1 table Sunderland, Pompey and Ipswich all out of the play off places. The league looks a lot stronger than we won it. Only really remember seeing Rotherham and Peterborough and Sunderland as realistic title contenders for most the season. We done well to get out of it when we did.
Wednesday and Ipswich are closing the gap over the last few weeks wouldn't be surprised to see them over take Plymouth and WycombeWednesday as well.
Though Ipswich and Wednesday in good form and I think they'll make a real challenge for the play offs, Sunderland look like they're going to blow it again.
Just because they're big name clubs, I don't think they're necessarily of a superior quality to the top 6 when we were in the league. Peterborough pissed it last season and look where they areLooking at league 1 table Sunderland, Pompey and Ipswich all out of the play off places. The league looks a lot stronger than we won it.

Bigger clubs have fallen further than that lot…can you think of any?Just because they're big name clubs, I don't think they're necessarily of a superior quality to the top 6 when we were in the league. Peterborough pissed it last season and look where they are
Wigan didn't get relegated last yearTop 2 (comfortably) this season, were both relegated from The Championship last season. Not inconceivable that the other team (Sheff Wed) might come back up too !
Didn’t they lose 3.1 to Burton last week?Bolton are the one to watch. With the form they are on no reason they couldnt finish in the play offs
Yeah but have won 7 of their last 10 and are top of the form table over the last 10 gamesDidn’t they lose 3.1 to Burton last week?
I can’t remember any easy games. Every match was hard fought. I don’t understand why anyone would want to down play our achievement in winning that league, particularly by making comparisons that are hard to quantify.There was a lot more easy games when we won the league, there’s about 12-15 really competitive teams in the league this season
Both Manchester clubs and Everton and Chelsea were way down the leagues before the big money turned upBigger clubs have fallen further than that lot…can you think of any?
Very true. One day we will win at Shrewsbury for example.I can’t remember any easy games. Every match was hard fought. I don’t understand why anyone would want to down play our achievement in winning that league, particularly by making comparisons that are hard to quantify.

Not forgetting that City followed a similar path before dipping our toes into league 2Quite a few ex Prem teams in there including Charlton, who don't seem to have made much impact in that division.
Easy games ? Isn’t that statement just typical of a Cov fan We were by far the best team in the division especially once we got into our stride, Rotherham, Sunderland, Pompey & Ipswich we’re all put to the sword and had the season gone on I’m convinced we would have won the lot in front of us.There was a lot more easy games when we won the league, there’s about 12-15 really competitive teams in the league this season

Wigan didn't get relegated last year
Looks that strong that Rotherham and Wigan, 2 middle of the road clubs in it are absolutely breezing it .
Big club doesn't equal good team , the league is shite
Sunderlands starting 11 today compared to 3 years ago on paper is alot weaker
Wigan didn't get relegated last year
Sunderland have brought in Alex Neil. Good manager.
Once he gets settled, I think he'll get them back into the play offs.
