I guess those facing relegation, might want to play the same card as the bottom 6 in the PL and argue that they shouldn't be replaced by clubs that haven't completed the full season. Self interested poppycock of course, but they make up only a minority in the Championship, so I don't think it...

If circumstances work out that we do play Villa next season, I hope its after BCD games are all done and dusted.

Hiwula's head drops when things go against him and he has a tendency to hide a little when it does. When others have poor games they can still offer the side something by their team ethos, but Hiwula didn't seem to have that in him. He also missed a lot of costly sitters in his first season with...

We have no choice but to accept it for what it is. So many of our fans on here seem to take this viewpoint as a personal slight on our team, but it is not. So much of being a football supporter is shared moments and experiences, and celebrating those good times together, particularly when they...

Try reading the post above mine!!!!!!!!!!!

Trying to work out a solution covering the supposed strength of teams you have to play is fraught with problems, and no such solution would be able to factor in enough variables to provide a reliable outcome, particularly given results are often contrary to expectation towards the end of a...

For me it won't be the same either. I'm glad we are going up and of course I think the title is deserved, we were fantastic over the course of the season that we played, but not having that definable moment when someone has that glory of scoring the goal that clinches the title or promotion...

Fair enough - just don't think he's better than Godden.

Just on Mo Eisa. I have only seen him in spits and spats, and while he did score the late equaliser against us earlier this season, he was pretty ropey otherwise. He failed to make it in the Championship previously too, and I suspect Godden will score more in the Championship than he would, and...

It is true that the timing of this and the impact on the lower leagues means it is even more crucial that we get promoted at this time. This is also where I have some sympathy for the bigger clubs left behind, because I don't believe we would have been happy to wipe out next season if we were...

I had always suspected that null and void would rear its ugly head so today's news reads well for us. The make up of the league means that PPG looks nailed on now. Even if it isn't I am very confident that we would still win promotion and the league anyhow, so it feels like we are in a win win...

Is null and void definitely off the table? Have the EFL publicly stated that is the case, or is this just rumour and urban myth built up by wishful thinking on our part?

I've obviously explained this really badly. I thought I had addressed the financial issue by teams having the option not to play on, with the point per game avenue there for the purpose of not over penalising them for taking that stance against other teams wanting to play. Your second point is...

I am working from the premise of accepting that the greater interest of the game is for the likes of Accrington and Rochdale to not go out of business. If we don't accept that and it truly is dog eat dog, then ok lets just play out the season and let them face the consequences. If we want to be...

Every team has those games to play though. Bar the season resuming in its entirety, this is the the fairest way, as it effectively evens things out, while minimising the risk of sending those teams with nothing to play for out of business. Look at the projected League table in this scenario...

They are the games we would have left to play. The other 6 unplayed games would be declared 0-0. 6 + 34 = 40 doesn't it?

Unworkable idea and will just encourage bigger clubs to bend the rules. Clubs need to take individual responsibility, and to work within their individual means. The likes of Sunderland and Portmouth will clearly operate different wage structures to Accrington and Rochdale, trying to pretend...

Yes, in theory. Like I said though, I personally wouldn't want to see us do that.

0-0 - its the only way to do it and have any semblance of fairness.
