Middlesboro is at home isn't it?
Feeling a bit like Ernie. Don't see where enough goals will come from. Charlton is a massive one for us. Not 'must win', but lose that and the rot continues as it left off, or win it and there's renewed hope. Is McCann and Enob still predicting playoffs?

Boro is indeed at home, that'll teach me to copy and paste the details from the HDM.
AT AN EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING ON TUESDAY 9 JUNE, EFL CLUBS VOTED ON PROPOSALS IN RESPECT OF CHANGES TO EFL REGULATIONS IN THE EVENT SEASON 2019/20 IS CURTAILED.
Proposals were submitted by Barnsley and Tranmere Rovers alongside amendments to an EFL Board proposal which were put forward by Lincoln City, Stevenage and Ipswich Town.
Following a vote on each by all 71 Clubs, it was overwhelmingly agreed (by a majority of all Clubs and a majority in the Championship) to adopt the EFL Board’s proposal into EFL Regulations, which now means the following applies in the event a division curtails its 2019/20 season or it is ended by any other means.
EFL Chair, Rick Parry, said: “Whilst it has always remained the Board’s position to play the remainder of the season where possible, the decision reached at today’s meeting follows a full and considered consultation period with our member Clubs. The Board has endeavoured to listen to all views and alternative approaches but understands that the decisions taken will not be met with universal satisfaction from all Clubs.
“Today’s outcome ensures that the League and its Clubs remains as faithful as possible to the previously agreed Regulations and that there is consistency in the approach adopted across the EFL in all divisions if required.
“It is clear that the challenges facing the League from the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic are unprecedented and I thank the contribution of EFL Clubs in making this important determination.”

- Final divisional placings will be determined on unweighted points per game (if required).
- Promotion and relegation should be retained.
- Play-Offs will be played in all circumstances but will not be extended (beyond four teams).

Hard not to feel sympathy with Peterboro and Sunlan, both level on points with Wycombe with better GD, but had played 1 and 2 games more....anything could've happened there
Hang on, Wycombe are currently eighth in the table, how the **** do they get in the playoffs?
They're eighth!
Utter nonsense.
Don't babble on about games in hand, they could have lost them both 10 none.
It makes a mockery of having a league.
There's criteria for determining league positions - points and goal difference - just use that.
It's bollocks.
Points is what they did use, points per game, you can't ignore the fact that a team happened to have played two games less when the season was suspended.
You can if you want to. The old 'points on the board, or games in hand ' question now seems to have a definitive answer. A gonads answer though.
