Empty vessels (such as the fans on twitter you spoke of) make the most noise and should know better. Unlike DM who has gone on and on about finding some kind of backdoor to get into the Championship (while dragging other teams into his schemes), we've been very calm and collected through this whole arduous process of learning the fate of League 1. In the very beginning we were ready to play out the season. But as days have turned to weeks and weeks potentially to months, it seems sensible to find a way to end the season in a fair and just manner where more than 75% of matches have been played. That's not called being scared. That's being practical. With so many other leagues ending their season and finding a way to determine who is promoted/relegated, our expectations for League 1 to do the same is only natural. It's not like League 1 will be the only league that rewards those who deserve it and punishes those who don't. At some point we've got to draw the line, find closure and give credit where it's due. This cannot drag on forever as the financial repercussions of that are far worse (as more teams fold or lay off staff to keep afloat). For teams/fans who feel aggrieved that they didn't get a shot at promotion/playoffs (assuming there is no playoffs or that their team wasn't chosen for it), all I can say is that life isn't fair sometimes. We've had more than our fair share of pain and misfortune over the years (I think there's even another thread on this forum about that). So if we get promoted based on PPG (weighted/unweighted), I really think we've deserved it this season. We were on a 14 match unbeaten run at the time the season was cut short. I think we could have even extended that run (especially after beating Portsmouth, Sunderland, Ipswich and getting a respectable point vs Rotherham). So I don't buy the argument about being scared. We halted Portsmouth's winning run, Ipswich were in freefall after January, Wycombe lost their way after we hammered them in Dec, Sunderland even found a way to lose to Bristol Rovers just before this COVID-19 crisis to ruin their playoff chances, Rotherham lost to Rochdale in March just before this crisis...We were the team leading the form tables as well at that time. All things considered we damn right deserve to be promoted to the Championship as we've consistently been the best team throughout the season and there cannot be any arguments about that.
