Think we will squeak the playoffs

But don’t think we will be troubling the EPL fixture computer

In two minds as to whether that’s a good thing. I’m of the view that in previous years we’ve perhaps been promoted before we were ready, with disappointing results. And we aren’t ready now either. But I look at who might come down this year and just think ‘If not now, when?’
