"Counterfactual history" was popular for a time but it's pretty pointless. Best left to Hollywood SF movies.Indeed, a good question. There is an alternative universe somewhere where Josh was sold in January; three of our narrow wins ended as draws instead and we lost in the play offs. And some people would (understandably?) be saying that selling Key in January was crazy, lacked ambition and cost us promotion.
There is also the real universe when Watkins stayed in the January to help our promotion push, on the understanding he would go to Brentford in the summer, but we still didn't go up. He then went to them, for less than another club had offered, but the rest is history...
