And from today, we would have to have a game every 4 days to finish before June 30th... Now let's consider training for a couple weeks, we are looking at a game every 2/3 days... It just cannot happen
Not what they’re doing in the premier leagueIf they tried to go down that route it would only take 1 player to test positive for Covid 19 and the whole thing would go pear shaped anyhow. There would be the players team, any teams he's played against and any teams that those teams have played against going into lockdown for 2 weeks. Bear in mind the tests take a few days to come back. It's not going to happen.
They're going to coup them all up by the sounds of it and keep them away from people. Again though, It'll only take one or two cases and it'll cause issues. I know they'll throw more money at it but its like a house of cards waiting to come down in my eyes.Not what they’re doing in the premier league
Yes, it needs to be the most simple method that would most fit the existing structure/rules. Otherwise, the "what if" formulas become almost infinate.It does t matter though as two go up so it has to be done or you are now basing on a different argument to PPG
Then Tranmere can argue the same and demand a playoff with Wimbledon
If the base rules are tampered with more and more holes will appear and the whole thing will sink
Why are we even bothered, they won't stop us being promoted. The playoff teams should be made to field the same players they had available when it all stopped, and not bring in any injured/recovered players to boost their squads.
maybe even restrict it to owned players and not loaned ones, that should shut the feckers up.
If I were Pboro fan i would be saying having spent so much money why the fuck are we outside the play offs with only 9 games of the season to play? then i would be looking at the games we lost as a result of why we are there!Some of our fans are so annoyingly bias lol
If we were in pboro or some relegstion thrratened teams place no way you wpuld be moaning if we were fighting void ppg decisions
I think that Rotherham are quite catchable by the pack behind
Whilst I agree in principal, It does not take into account for want of better words the 'six-pointers' teams will have teams around them that they have to play at home. We know from experience winning that game and leapfrogging a team can have a massive effect on morale. No one is going to be happy in this scenario. I feel sorry for the likes of Charlton, who went into the bottom three on the last weekend, and have a home game to Hull which if they won could lift them clear. This is no happy scenario. I do think that Rotherham are catchable and if there is a 6 team play off, they should be a part of it. I think in reality, we would have gained automatic, we would have had to have been piss poor to blow it, hence me not saying that we should be involved in it. I think everyone agrees within football circles that we should be awarded promotion. The clubs will not go for a voided season. Some chance of going up is better than no chance, that's why there will be promotion and relegation.

Exactly what I was wonderingSo what time are we expecting an EFL statement what doesn't really say anything
Carl HeneghanThat’s the anti-lockdown guy, right?
Not if thy use PPG! their away form lets them downThey are 6th
There is no fair solution other than playing it out. PPG is the least shit option as it ranks based on performance so far. wPPG "predicts" how you might perform in future games and should be avoided at all costs otherwise why stop there. Why not look at strength of opponents etc. Look at the Premier League - West Ham and Bournemouth both have the same games played, the same number of home games played, the same number of away games and the same points. West Ham are ahead on goal difference (and thus rightly so on PPG) however on weighted PPG Bournemouth are saved. That means that we are "predicting" future results rather than just looking at who has done better so far. Sorry Peterborough, it's tough but you are 7th if we go with the standard 2+4 route. I've no issues extending the playoffs to 6 or 8 teams..
So what time are we expecting an EFL statement what doesn't really say anything
Is it confirmed as today? Or Friday?
For me I think you do need to look at things like that. If one team has to play the top six the other the bottom six but just using PPG thus far would see the team with the easier run in relegated doesn't feel reflective of what is likely to happen in reality. If you've got the same PPG as another team but you've played more difficult fixtures against better teams then again you have a reasonably strong case to argue you've performed better than them so far.
Then you get into all sorts of moving parts though. We’re they the better teams when you played them? Should points against Bolton at the start of the season be worth as much as they are at the end? What if you played them when on/off form? It just becomes a mess.
Maybe that is why Parry is being patient.In just 41 days, a huge portion of footballers within the football league pyramid are no longer under contract and have the option to play on or not themselves...do people really believe we can train, Then restart and finish the campaign in 41 days? It's all nonsense
Because if deadlock is still the case when the absolute absolute deadline is reached, doesn't null and void then apply, as the female Pallios pointed out yesterday? To avoid null and void, the League has to decide something, it can't do nothing.Why are we even bothered, they won't stop us being promoted. The playoff teams should be made to field the same players they had available when it all stopped, and not bring in any injured/recovered players to boost their squads.
maybe even restrict it to owned players and not loaned ones, that should shut the feckers up.
We don't do weighted league tables at the end of the season so why do one now
The longer this goes on the more sympathetic I am to a strict reading of the rules that says all unplayed games are void and the season ends as it is.
Today is EFL meeting with themselves. Friday is vote
So what time are we expecting an EFL statement what doesn't really say anything
There is no such thing as an easier run though is there. That's just on paper. At this stage of the season, teams fighting at the bottom can be the hardest teams to play against.For me I think you do need to look at things like that. If one team has to play the top six the other the bottom six but just using PPG thus far would see the team with the easier run in relegated doesn't feel reflective of what is likely to happen in reality. If you've got the same PPG as another team but you've played more difficult fixtures against better teams then again you have a reasonably strong case to argue you've performed better than them so far.
They are 6th
I don't think I'll ever be convinced of that in a season where most sides have 9 or fewer games remaining out of 44. Either finish the season or do straight PPG with tough beans to those who narrowly miss out.

I don't think for a second shmmeee was suggesting to void the season... he was saying to void the remaining games...
NEXT week? This is getting very silly now.
