I heard a "This time next year we'll be Champions" chant at both Stockport and Southampton games so I thought I would provide some food for thought for anyone expecting an immediate return to League One...
We have spent 20 seasons in fourth tier in 6 separate spells including 7 finishes in bottom half.
So if we maintain these averages then it will be 3 years before we get back to League One and we will probably finish in bottom half next season or year after.
And all those 20 seasons have been since 1966 so for many neutrals seeing Southend back in League Two is normal service resumed.
