sidcow Posted April 26, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 26, 2019 Fortunately Boltons last 2 fixtures are dead rubbers anyway so awarding 3 - 0 defeats is pretty uncontroversial. What a sad sad time for their fans though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I guess if it is just players not playing then it should be a standard 3-0 forfeiting of the games. The winding up thing is a different issue I suppose. Also they are playing Brentford and Forest I believe so shouldn't impact the playoff places if the games are forfeited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the last 20 years the playoff winners finished the season in the following league positions: 3rd 9/20 (2.25 x av) 4th 2/20 (0.5 x av) 5th 6/20 (1.5x av) 6th 3/20 (0.75 x av) Average = 4 So 3rd of 5th are the most common. Makes sense, as 3rd have been the best of the rest over a whole season, so will probably have the better squad and 5th tends to be the team with momentum who has broken into the top 6 during the second half. Average is 4? Of the 20 teams promoted via the playoffs, the average number of teams promoted from positions 3-6 per position is 4? 4x4 != 20 Show your work. See me!

It could, but they are almost certainly going to roll any consequences now over into the off season given our proximity to it. In any case the winding up order is unlikely to be enforced given they have an agreement for sale in place. I say all this, but then it is the EFL and HMRC who have hardly covered themselves in glory throughout this... ever times.

AVTuco Posted April 27, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 27, 2019 Can we somehow win all the rest of our matches and still stay in the Championship? I like this winning all the time thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Derby and Bristol draw would be good result for me. Although I'd prefer they were motivated for the west brom game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
