Whilst all true it was a different league back then.
Wolves went up and straight into Europe anarl didn't they??
It’s amazing how recency bias clouds people’s memories like. Nonetheless it’s a cracker and certainly up there… but the greatest? Not a chance
True.
And in every era extremely rare to for a playoff winner to finish in the top half, crazy odds back in August.

Fuck the mags
To counter your point I'd argue that the Premier league is the strongest its been for years in comparison to European leagues. The fact that English teams have reached major finals of all European trophies proves this. Just cause the title rave hasn't been great, the standard of the league is the highest standard by a margin

Or am I meringue
Did forest and leeds not win league straight after promotion

Going forward, with the distortion caused by PL money vs Championship, this may not be topped by another playoff winning promoted team.
Would be stunned if Hull is anywhere near 7th next year.
Aye but they were Salbutamold up beyond all recognition
Not counting start of campaign when it was alphabetical.

Forest did Leeds won it in 2nd season.
True Dawn, not False Dawn.
One for the ages.
Basically you’re asking a team to compete and place higher than teams with 10X resources, just not going to happen very often if ever again.

What you have to factor in is that it’s only 4 years since we won the league one play off final. We couldn’t even finish in the top 2 of league one.
From that joyful day at Wembley in May 2022 to today. Quite a progression.

And I haven’t forgotten the heroes at every step:
McGeady, LND, Pritchard, Embleton, …
Roberts, Clarke, Neil, …
And of course the current crop.
Special kudos to Luke & Trai for the first goal today, symbol of continuity from our League One years.
