Points per game approved

I think you can both critique Parkinson for his abject run of form this season, that was far worse then Ross managed just before. While also thinking the league is unfair.

The game before lockdown we lost to Bristol Rovers, who had won one in 18 and just lost to Southend. Parkinson should never of lost that.

we didnt even 'just' lose it. we were absolutely dreadful for 90 minutes and actually made them look like a good, in form team. i know its always results driven, and when you win and play poorly you can get away with it for a while. and when you lose and play well you can look on the bright side. but the way we play (win or lose) is generally always absolutely shite

Cant see how a team who votes to end the season can then go on and play further matches in play offs....

 

[MackemMagic]

And even worse that a club can vote for the season to end forthwith yet expect to play in play-offs.

This. It is fundamentally wrong

That’s truly outrageous mind. Utterly embarrassing.

 

[timeforheroes1]

hopefully whoever plays wycombe in the play offs absolutely butchers them first leg and the tie is effectively over

 

[Tasman]

That’s not unfairness, that’s just the financial system that football utilizes. Hardly relevant to the discussion at all in my opinion.

well its a parachute payment that paid by the premier league to a team playing in league 1 which not only disadvantages teams in league 1 but rewards failure its totally the same inequity in the system

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not happy when we lose any game. I’m more than happy to criticise the manager and players for losing games.

However, we have been denied the opportunity of promotion by the EFL (and many of the teams in the league), not by Parkinson.

Breaking on BBC football, waiting for vote on ending or going with points per game. In chippy queue so can’t post link.

pass my regards onto Terry

Yep surely if you vote to end it by PPG you should be removed from the playoffs as you don't want to continue the season?

Be interested to see how the vote went if that was a rule.

They are voting for their preference though, not issuing an ultimatum. Plus the regulations that have been voted through this morning are that the end the season on PPG scenario includes play offs. If we were currently sitting in 5th or 6th we’d happily be wishing for PPG to guarantee our play off spot and supporters of the teams that would be missing out would be calling us every name under the sun.

Brexiteers were still allowed to vote in the last European elections.

I’d say to fans that attend away matches. Just remember the clubs that were happy to end the season, they’ll happily accept your money next season for tickets, pies and pints when we sell out every away allocation.

 

[Bugsy]

We’ve only ourselves to blame, I just fear where we go from here

 

[gipetto]

We wouldn't have been promoted anyway but this idea is laughable. Just shows how tinpot League One is and by proxy how tinpot we've became.

We had as much chance of being promoted than the few teams above us. None of them looked particularly good.

 

[Billy Batts]

They'll all be along in a minute to gloat as if we'll all be throwing our toys out the pram, when the truth is a few fair of us were a bit "meh" about the whole thing. The owners need changing before anything else. That and the fact we're pretty shit and we know we are.

Wycombe, Oxford, Fleetwood and Portsmouth in the playoffs ahead of us. This season has been a complete shambles

I disagree as Rotherham don't deserve automatic promotion and second place was very much there for the taking.

 

[Super Mario]

Well there's fuck all we can do about it now, just have to hope Donald sells us or starts investing in players for next year, the longer we stay down here the bigger the risk we go out of business.

 

[Steesafc]

Its a fitting end to this League One season. It began as a farce with Bury, continued to be a farce with Bolton fielding a youth team for two months and it has ended as a farce with this vote.

We would of been promoted under this same system has we not lost to Gillingham and Bristol Rovers. You cannot say that it is entirely the EFL and not at least, in part, a problem of our squad and manager.

Put some curry sauce on mine mate

Keep reading this, yet a maximum of 3 playoff games is going to cost a lot less than it would for the season to be finished, Wycombe for example can afford 3 games but not 9, makes perfect sense.
