With just one automatic spot and six clubs thrown into the mix via the heavily seeded playoff lottery it was always going to be a big ask get out of this division at the first time of asking.
Six or seven ex EFL clubs wanting to get back there and at least four are going to have to wait until next season.
Who knows, next year it may be three up. The cliche “it’s a marathon, not a sprint” seems particularly appropriate at the moment. And it looks like we may have hit “the wall”!
