Also a bigger club than Sandwell town could be promoted through the playoffs...... Forest!!
I agree with Steve, we shouldn't be worrying about a tin pot club like the Albion. Will be interesting to see the level of investment made during the summer on players as I think next season will be tougher to survive than this. The only significant investment we made on a player was Doyle and week in week out he stood out above everyone else so more of the same is needed. Hopefully we'll have a fit Kightly available from the start of the season too. I think we've done really well this season and made the best of the resources we have. However we must move forward and continue to invest if we don't want to suffer second season syndrome!!
