A welcome three points for caretaker, Jimmy Shan, and his team puts the 2019 challenge ahead of both the 2001 and 2007 teams that finished in the play-off positions, and also ahead of Tony Mowbray’s title-winning team.
Game 38 saw Megson’s team drop points for the penultimate time that season – eight wins and a draw in the last nine games for this season’s team would match the 2002 points total of 89 points, which would be some achievement!
