never agreed with play offs to get 22 points more than bristol and 21 more than coventry is what league football should be based on , not a 4 way lottery
3 times before we were 3rd by a margin and missed out

Derby did well after getting blackburns manager , may challenge for a change next season, may the football gods shine on pride park

It worked for us the other season though when we scraped in.

still think its unnecessary, its a reward for playing 46 games and out scoring your peers points total, not lets give teams who got 20 points and more less a chance to go up .it demeans what being higher in the league means plus IF it was still 3rd autmatic we would already overtaken the number of season wednesdays total number of season s in the top flight and prem, no , it has
nt worked for us

I think its a necessary evil to make sure teams aren`t "on the beach" by Feb.

I do think they need to look at skewing the playoffs towards the teams that finish higher. But fear this is never likely to happen as everyone likes the $$$$ that the current set-up generates...

The league would have been over by March, the EFL needs to keep it interesting. Hopefully we win them this time and prove that the 22 points means something.
