'Dull' City are whinging that they feel like 'victims' in this Championship play off farce as they were quote...mentally prepared to face Southampton, not Middlesbrough. If I were them I'd stfu as they only scraped into the play offs, ending up 10 points behind third placed Millwall! 😏

That’s the problem with the play off system. Teams who are going off the boil at the end of the season lose out like Millwall, it happens every year. The old system of top two go up and bottom 2 go down was a much fairer system but it doesn’t bring as much revenue for the Football League

I still think of Accrington Stanley missing out on automatic promotion to League one, about 10/11 years ago, when we lost to eventual winners of the final Wimbledon who just scraped into the play offs on the last day of the season. Accy who'd been in the automatic promotion places for most of the season ran out of gas in the last few games, dropping into the top play off place.🫤 Even a some say intentional floodlights failure in our second leg home game couldn't save us, as someone annoyingly managed to get the lights back on!! 🤨 😉
