Let me first say that i am no great fan of Chris Wilder or Sheffield United but it was disgraceful, the result yesterday. Any team that finishes 14 points ahed of any rival deserves some form of recognition. In my eyes that should be automatic Promotion. In fact any team 3 wins (9 points) deserves some advantage.
It is a travesty and incomprehensible that a league competition should be be decided by a knockout competition.
I feel for the man today, even in the game I thought SheffU were the better team. I hope the EFL enjoy their payday (I bet the profit does not trickle down) for yesterday they perverted the course of Justice.

Fair point leodis. I agree.
Sunderland are crap.
Problem is wilder is an idiot.
Should be top 3 auto.

It should be top three auto promoted but the EFL want their money. £200 million quid they make from the play offs.

Totally agree Leodis!

Despite the heartache it generates, particularly for us, I like the playoffs. Makes the league much more competitive right to the end.

Remember gladiators where they would compete through challenges to gain an advantage for the main event at the end. Exactly what that advantage could be other than goals headstart I’ve no idea. Does seem unfair in my opinion too that Sunderland come up.

As always in football the rules are favourable to the team that benefits from it and condemned by teams that don’t.
Like ourselves the playoffs have appeared to be very unfair like last season but try telling that to a Southampton or Sunderland fan.

I agree playoffs are far from fair, however they make the leauge interesting, give a lot of teams something to play for, generate money and can create some cracking games and entertainment/ drama so overall the good out weights the bad plus as a fan o bet nothing is better than a playoff win.
I controversially like Chris Wilde, o think he is a great manager and I like him as a bloke (he can take what he gives out and I respect that) and like farke it’s is time for him to prove me right and like farke take sheff up at champs next season no questions asked, that’s what the great managers do, just ask any leeds fan.

Like leeds last season Sheffield had a dip in form at the wrong time.
We wobbled but had a few games to recover.
Just proves a team that starts strong and leads for a good portion of the season isn't always the winner in the end.
