Have to feel that this season has been a massive opportunity missed

A couple of strong sides, but no one really standing out or running away with it in the way that we have in the past, or Leeds, or Burnley etc.

If we'd had our house in order from day 1 this season, we'd have a very strong chance of getting promoted.

Can't help but think it won't be quite so easy if the likes of West Ham or Forest are in the division next year.
