Yep - and as you say, if we aren’t regularly beating them, there’s no point anyway
Like under Wagner - great to finish 6th and be in the play offs but largely pointless given how far off Leeds we were.
That said, always better to be in there than not even if it’s a punchers chance only. I wouldn’t have given hull a hope in hell, and didn’t Sunderland lose 6 in a row at the end of the regular season.
Fortunately though, it’s not clear cut which teams are good and which are not given how the championship ebbs and flows and how many points are dropped by everyone. Especially those outside the top 3 or 4. There’s plenty of opportunity to win games without being THAT good, which I think we saw a lot of second half of last season. Don’t get me wrong; we were good, but we weren’t outstanding like a farke side. There are a lot of pretty mundane championship sides that will finish top half.
