This is not arrogance, but at this point I'd be surprised if we don't get promoted. Ten points clear of third and don't really see us going on a bad run.
People can come back to this if I'm wrong!
But if we do, which two teams do you want to come with us?
I'd like Bradford. Seem like a good club and they have brilliant fans.
The other would maybe be Bolton. They were a top club when Allardyce was there and totally collapsed in recent years. Would be nice to see them back in the Championship.
It's my hunch that we will win the league and Bolton are 2nd. Hope that Bradford get through the play-offs if that's the case.

Oh bloody hell the thought of us doing a Cardiff is burned in to my brain so don't want to think we're already up but if we do I'd like Bradford and Lincoln Come up with us

Bradford and Lincoln for me, Bradford are a big club and fans probably deserve another crack in the championship and I chose Lincoln because I like see an underdog in the championship and they have not been in the 2nd tier in many many years

Anyone but Stockport. Bunch of thugs who came here to foul rather than play football.

Can't see past Lincoln 6 points and two games in hand on Bolton. The playoffs are anybodies for the taking, even Luton and Stevenage have a decent shot

i think its us and Lincoln top 2
then i think bradford
i think us lincoln and bradford are the best 3 teams this year.
i know bradford might struggle but i can't see anyone better than them
lincoln have not played championship football since 1999

If we do it, hopefully Bradford and Lincoln - welcoming towns and supporters

Bradford and Lincoln.
However I definitely wouldn't like to see any team sneaking into the play offs getting through and the expense of a team which narrowly missed out on automatic promotion

This team, with this manager will do alright in the championship as well.
I’ve been watching a lot of champ football this year and it’s not a great standard.

It's a partly hypothetical question Richy.
I did say if.

I still have a sneaky feeling Luton may start getting some form together to make a charge on the play offs. They still have decent players there. But agreed lincoln and bradford have been the best sides ive seen us play. Others have been spirited and had a go. But lincoln play like we did under warnock and can grind out results. Thats what they did against us. Nothing flashy but find a way.
Bradford I am more impressed with as they have tried to play a bit which is more impressive given they came up from league 2 so credit to them for building so quickly.
