I think the standard of League 1 is nearer league 2

Jarvis getting a hat trick on his debut was pretty dubious to me, because he has never shown anything for me in a city shirt. Leeds fans were babbling on about Beckford at Scunny but I really doubt he's the standard to play in the championship, Kandol has proved that for them stepping up

Luke Varney had a good season for Crewe last year and got a respectable amount of goals, but he drops into League 1 and takes the piss out of the division to be on 25 goals now

On an awful run with an awful manager we could still do Rotherham away, and only lost to port vale on pens

After watching Donny and Carlisle and around that time seeing that Carlisle could make the play offs, I was baffled that the standard on show could even live in the championship

        We also beat sunderland 1-0, west brom away, cardiff 1-0 (Other Football) - pants, Apr 3, 12:55:28
        
        We also lost to Sunderland 1-0 a few weeks later and put up no fight what so ever (n/m) (Other Football) - Brom, Apr 3, 12:57:44
        
        not entirely true, we always pulled the odd result out of the hat with worthy (Other Football) - phrankin, Apr 3, 12:57:34
        
        but we win away with Grant, something we never did with Worthy (n/m) (Other Football) - pants, Apr 3, 12:58:32
        
        about the same really (Other Football) - Brandonio, Apr 3, 13:01:20
        
        I'm trying not to use stats as a base though (Other Football) - pants, Apr 3, 13:31:46
        
        true but Southampton this season... (Other Football) - Brandonio, Apr 3, 13:33:52
        
        Yeah, I take that on board, although, I see this season as a blessing (Other Football) - pants, Apr 3, 13:36:09
        
        exactly how often? (Other Football) - phrankin, Apr 3, 13:01:11
        
        especially at home (n/m) (Other Football) - Brandonio, Apr 3, 12:58:08
        
        Basically there's been no realy difference. I think we can agree there. (n/m) (Other Football) - Steve in Holland, Apr 3, 13:00:13
        
        preston 2 nil, Luton 3-2, barnsley 5-1 (that might be the lot...) (n/m) (Other Football) - phrankin, Apr 3, 12:59:02
        
        I'll pull up 2 of these results too, Preston had injury madness when we played them (Other Football) - pants, Apr 3, 13:02:11
        
        and Luton had half a team compared to when worthy played them (Other Football) - phrankin, Apr 3, 13:04:24
        
        But they were away from home! (Other Football) - pants, Apr 3, 13:06:03
        
        Barnsley was a good result - Luton are going to finish bottom (Other Football) - phrankin, Apr 3, 13:07:35
        
        wait did Grant lose to 9 men at home.... (n/m) (Other Football) - phrankin, Apr 3, 13:08:02
        
        reading too much into the wolves thing, especially as we nearly beat them away (n/m) (Other Football) - pants, Apr 3, 13:12:38
        
        well they are in the play-offs. (n/m) (Other Football) - phrankin, Apr 3, 13:14:21
        
        are you now saying wolves are a good team then? (Other Football) - pants, Apr 3, 13:16:11
        
        2 steps forward? maybe.... lets hope he gets rid of the shit (Other Football) - phrankin, Apr 3, 13:19:36
        
        Worthy would have never pulled off the Luton and Barnsley away wins (n/m) (Other Football) - pants, Apr 3, 13:00:04
        
        hard to say really... (Other Football) - Brandonio, Apr 3, 13:02:16
        
        Worthy beat Sheff Utd away last year... (Other Football) - Brom, Apr 3, 13:04:32
