    it gives you food for thought as to our position in the scheme of things.
    We are where we are but watching Burton made me think how it might have been against us. Might not have been 9 but the gulf in class and position between the two sides was frightening. If we ever aspire to that level of football again the dream we have to live would certainly test our very wealthy owners.
    Selling Potts is a minuscule drop in that vast ocean, I can't honestly see us ever reaching the heights again.
    But I do enjoy our modest success this season and wouldn't turn down promotion.

    Certainly does, I dont think its totally out of sight yet, as in getting to the premier league but getting there and competing is a totally different level

    Huddersfield did it. They couldn't beat us at Oakwell a couple of years ago.

    Keep dreaming lads.

    You never know what the future holds - I'd settle, at this moment, for promotion & then consolidation (not an annual relegation fight)
