Well, we've been in touch with the people at Football Manager 2020 and asked them to simulate the remainder of the current campaign.
They kindly provided - so scroll and click through the pages to see where Jonathan Woodgate’s men finished in the second-tier table following the simulation. It makes for interesting viewing:
