The Play off's

[Andy S]

We could well be one of the sides involved in the play off's at the end of the forthcoming season. Whether we like it or not they are here. But how must Burnley feel after beating QPR by 5 points in the league. Yet failing to gain promotion in the Play off final?
Watford suffered the same fate to Crystal Palace the season before again the gap was 5 points.
Even the club that finishes 2nd does not get the Plaudits that the play off final winners receive. I feel that the play offs were a good experiment but should now be scrapped and promotion should be on league position alone

The playoffs help a team that gained form late and is not an indication of relative team strength. I think it helps keep the latter part of the season interesting and should be kept.

The first bit isn't always true.
