The comparison ends there. We were a very average side in 2004 and still got through the play-offs - shows what a lottery they are.

Absolutely - in fact we were second best in all three games, and still got through.... well, especially the Swindon games, but we weren't terrific on the day in Cardiff either - but we won so who cares?

I think Brian Owen tweeted earlier that it's something like 1998 the last time the 4th place team won the Championship play offs (it was Charlton, whatever the year was).

Impressive what you can achieve when you don't pay your debts.
Like not paying your tax bills and spending the money on a Ferrari then arranging a debt repayment plan. You still have the pictures of you owning a Ferrari but can you ever be proud of it?
