They seem to be reasonably good at coping with real challenges.

Was there many people suggesting that?

As soon as their promotion from the National League was confirmed they were the bookies favourites to get promoted from League 2 the following season, and around 3rd/4th favourites to go up from League 1 this year.

If they do go up this year it will be interesting to see which will have shorter odds next season, promotion or relegation. A lot depends on their activity in the transfer market but Id hazard a guess the opening odds for them to go back down will be shorter than their odds to get promoted.

Likelihood is they would finish comfortably mid table. Id imagine theyd need a LOT more investment to challenge the big teams at the top end of the championship though.
