But if they make us play the chmapionship has tk play too. Im not having leeds or wba getting promoted when they havent even finiahed their season yet we expected to and go down 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like to see how they manage to get that one done. in league one wycombe are on same points as 6th but outside the play offs and have a game in hand on 6th place.

Or don't play but no promotions/relegations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if football doesnt restart because we have a slight spike or more players have the virus over the next couple of weeks or refuse to play/train in phase two or three of this farcical restart that relegation will happen. You can get your head around it and weakly accept it but I and guess many others wont accept it. Why should we! That kind of mentality is why these governing bodies get away with so much farcical things. Edited May 21, 2020 by nick76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's either completing the season or relegation. You better start getting your head around it. Edited May 21, 2020 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) We had no hopes of survival before the virus arrived. We looked utterly clueless, out of ideas and were heading for 20th. A freak incident have now given us a second chance. We've got McGinn back hopefully and maybe without fans it won't be as daunting for us to play away games. Yes VP won't be the same without the fans but maybe that could lift some pressure off the boys. It's not easy for everyone to play in front of 42 000 people with expectations.

Needs to stop being delusional thinking we can go toe to toe with the big guns. Lambert from time to time managed to get results against the big teams, even beat Man City once because he realized we were a limited team that had to sit deep and try hit teams on the counter.

Familiar surroundings etc Yes but 1) We have more home games left than others 2) Most out our points come at home so we are one of the ones most effected Back to EFL as far as I see it teams can now do the maths and see where they get on ppg and vote ,so Championship may still not actually play to a finish .If your Leeds and WBA you will vote to end it as pointless playing games that could see you g out of top 2 when PPG guarantees staying there .L2/L1 can't really afford to play it needs 51% vote across 3 leagues to not play I wouldnt be surprised to see them get that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
