Agreed.
Here's a fact (maybe even a FACT*, I've not tried one of those before).
In the last eight seasons (2009/10 to 2016/17):
32 clubs have been relegated from League One (a few more than once).
In only 6 out of 32 cases did any of those clubs get promoted the next season (19% chance). Normally only one relegated club makes it back up the next season.
For those clubs that eventually made it back up, they spent on average 2-3 seasons in League Two.
In 13 out of 32 cases those clubs have never returned to League One (14 if Coventry don't make it through the playoffs).
Sure, various factors will apply in each season (how good each club was, the strength of the division overall, etc). But given most other clubs' experiences, and our inability to win games at the end of last season, I'm not assuming we're definitely going to buck that trend and be nailed on.
* Actual factworthiness of it depends on me having counted correctly.
