When we are Div3 ar as it’s known Div 1 what will the odds be from the bookies f a direct return to the Championship? Is suspect not good, if we keep playing as late.

I expect we'd be about 3rd or 4 favourites - behind Birmingham/Wednesday, Wrexham, and one of the bigger teams who stay down. Maybe about 7/1 or 8/1?
Many on here woudl obviously disagree with those odds but I expect by default most of the relegated teams from Championship will feature pretty high in the bookies favourites for next season - thats just how it goes usually.

My initial question should read “Div3 or League 1 as now known” sorry for other typos also, but you get the message.

I think you're right. We were clear favourites in 1992-93, being a bigger team that lost in the play-offs the season before. I didn't see the revised odds after the first 6 games, though. |

We won’t keep this team but if we did, we’d win the league. No doubt about it.

Don't forget the EFL trophy, mouth-watering cup ties against the likes of Everton under 12s.

We won’t keep this team but if we did, we’d win the league. No doubt about it.  A team with not a single player in double figures for goals, whose centre half is their top scorer. There is a standard drop but to go win a league or a promotion takes goals, this squad doesn't have any even at league 1 level. We would be lucky to make the play offs in my opinion, we can drag a result out now and then in the champ but it's usually extremely hard work and via set pieces and defending properly for once. The top 6 in league 1 would probably be able to muster 9 wins at this level. |

There's a HUGE drop in standard - Jordan Rhodes has scored 15 in half a season and he's a pensioner about as prolific as Danny Ward last couple of seasons in the Championship. FWIW, he's back training with Blackpool again now and targeting being fit for a potential return in the play-offs if they make it. |

Danny ward might get 10-15 in league 1 if he could be kept fit for 40 games potentially but we know that won't happen. The current squad finished anywhere between 3rd and 12th in league 1 I reckon. If we underestimate the difficulty of league 1 we will be there a very long time again. |

Not one single player in their squad gets on our bench. Well apart from that game we couldn’t fill the bench. |

Anyone who thinks this squad will be anywhere near challenging in league one next season are in cloud cuckoo land. Yes we might ship a few out but the majority are still under contract and can’t see anyone rushing to buy any of them. Think we will be languishing mid table next season. Can’t see us been anywhere near challenging sad but unfortunately true with this squad.

We'll find out soon enough, I would be selling what I can and starting again if I was Nagle. We need a whole new mentality to turn it around and make a push to come straight back |

Depends entirely on how ambitious the chairman is planning on being, who the manager is and the recruitment. If we are properly ready to go by August we’ll finish top 6.

If he can do it twice, he starts 😉🤣. |

I reckon we'd struggle to make the playoffs The players won’t stay so it’s all hypothetical but if our current squad and Birmingham’s current squad were currently in League One they would both already be promoted with 100 points. Danny Cowley spouted a load of shite but one thing he was right about is the gap from League One to Championship is bigger than all the other leagues. It’s absolute dog shit. Devante Cole is a truly terrible player and he’s scored 18 goals this season. The only teams i’d fear in that league are the 2 we go down with and Stockport and Wrexham. The other 19 teams can’t afford to actually spend money on transfer fees. |

Just can't see Wrexham doing much in League 1 next season. They haven't exactly dominated Lg2. Stockport look a much better outfit. I know Wrexham have the money, but I think they will be around high mid table. Charlton could be ones to watch, Jones is slowly turning them around. Barnsley, Wigan, Blackpool and Reading will be there or there abouts too. |

We won’t keep this team but if we did, we’d win the league. No doubt about it. I thought that in 2001, 2 years later we were in League 2. There’s no way this squad wins the league. They haven’t got the mentality for it. League One teams will want to come and put it on us and this set of fannies haven’t got the strength to stand up against it. We’d finish mid table if we’re lucky. Obviously we should be aiming to win the league, but realistically I think we should expect to be challenging for top 6. Having said that we’ve seen nothing from the folk in charge to suggest they will get the recruitment right in the summer, so as it stands I wouldn’t be surprised to see us at the wrong end of the table next season. |
