Play-Offs

[Shrimper83]

So when we get promoted! Surely our first move is to sign Pearce lol

 

[glenmaster]

Have to feel sorry for York given the season they have had but those are the rules. Two teams should go up automatically with a third via the play offs

I agree. Heart breaking for any team to get 96 points and not get promoted. Rules really do need changing.

 

[Bratislava Blue]

Desperate stuff from York. They are truly rattled. As said above, I hope FGR are the same tomorrow.

I think this could also be a lesson for FGR. Not to replicate a York style performance. I hope I'm proved wrong.

 

[Crowstone Crevette]

8,153 in attendance tonight

A real shame for York, but that’s the play off lottery. Absolute nailed on favourites next season surely?

Between Oldham, us and them I’d say.

Unless Oldham or us go up, of course.

 

[Swiss Tony]

It's cruel given how many points ahead they were.

It’s an unfair system that’s for sure,but we can’t deny Oldham their place in the final, higher sourses must have a look sooner or later.

 

[londonblue]

Oldham goalkeeper hasn't had to make a save all evening!

And yet he still goes down injured.

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

I agree. Heart breaking for any team to get 96 points and not get promoted. Rules really do need changing.

Three in the Prem, three in the Championship, and four in Lgs 1 and 2 get relegated, but a measly two get promoted from the NL, and only one automatically. Why?

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

And yet he still goes down injured.

'injured'? Bringing off the keeper like an outfielder when 'injured' can't come soon enough.

 

[kentblues]

As has been said should be 3 if not 4 up given the current comparison between NL and L2. If that failure leads to York finishing second on the points they got and not getting a ‘deserved’ promotion then this should embarrass the EFL- but it won’t.

Yes more EFL clubs will get relegated but it will also be easier to get back. A lot of the dysfunction comes from the EFL money. If the NL was L3 and the money differential closed I suspect the opposition to change would be less.

And the NL are, imho, stupidly only campaigning to get 1 extra promotion place. The precedent is there for 4 promotion places, plus also gives you something to compromise on, ie, 3 up

 

[Avl1983]

The worry is FGR will see this result and up their game not wanting to repeat Yorkshire performance.

Reckon that might be an instant cure of the problem.

I'm sure you are right. Will be hard on the York team to go again next season, I would imagine they will need some new players to keep the enthusiasm.

 

[Crowstone Crevette]

Oldham should have scored their 4th

 

[londonblue]

Reckon that might be an instant cure of the problem.

Or add double the amount of injury time back on.

 

[Tommy2holes]

I wouldn't have said so. Their best players will be long gone. Pierce will be gone within the fortnight. That's 30 goals lost.

 

[GBJ]

The worry is FGR will see this result and up their game not wanting to repeat Yorkshire performance.

Or, it might heap even more pressure on them, which they struggle to deal with mentally

 

[Tony Allen]

I'm sure you are right. Will be hard on the York team to go again next season, I would imagine they will need some new players to keep the enthusiasm.

Also as often happens with teams in any of the leagues that don't go up is they lose players to higher leagues

 

[Strykr]

Blimey didnt see that coming .

2 more games lads, 2 more games....

Im still not daring to dream, but its getting harder to not feel a bit excited.
