There's a bit of a trend here, though.

Lennie Lawrence took over in 2002 and took us on an incredible run, playing great football, just missing out on promotion. We had a great start to 2002/3 which fizzled after Bristol City stuffed us at home. We were lucky to scrape into the playoffs yet got up.

Dave Jones first few seasons saw us play some great football. His last few seasons saw the good football decline.

Malky's first season again saw us play good football, then that disappeared as we won promotion.

It appears that playing good football and winning promotion has not been hand in hand this side of the millennium.
