Does 2022 put any doubt over 2020 to bed?

[CAMiller]

Does the fact that after a 'dodgy' spell we were able to turn things around this season and seal automatic promotion put to bed any doubts we had about our 2020 PPG promotion? If not, it should.

General consensus back then was that we were 'collapsing' and were lucky that COVID came along and rescued us when in reality what we went through in 2020 pales into insignificance compared to what we overcame this season. We lost 3-0 at Rochdale (admittedly it was a poor display) but prior to that we had drawn at home to MK Dons and away at table topping Coventry. In fact in the 8 games before the season was prematurely ended we had won 4, drawn 3 and lost just 1 (1.88 PPG compared to an overall 1.77 PPG over the full 35 games)

Nobody knows what would have happened in those un-played 11 games so let's stop feeling we got promoted via the back door. We earned it back then just as much as we did on Saturday.

It's a good point to make CAM although when covid ended our season, we had just lost our 2 most important players to injury, Icky and Barlaser, but yes our wobble in recent weeks did mirror that particular time and we have come thro it so it's a good point to make that we could quite easily have come thro it back then.
Just to be pedantic CAM we lost 3-1 at Rochdale in that last match before the pandemic stopped the season and not 3-0 😉 UTM
