Agreed. They were utterly woeful at the Amex, very lucky to score nil.

That's just dull though. The playoffs are very much a consolation 2nd chance prize for the 4 teams that arn't quite good enough for automatic promotion. Now there should be more advantage for finishing higher within the 4 teams, but the general idea is a good one.

Huddersfield were excellent at their place when we played them, but truely woeful at the Amex so the obvious conclusion is that they are very inconsistent !

I've just got slight suspicion that playing to avoid Fulham in the semis will backfire and they'll get knocked out by Massive or Reading anyway.

Well Birmingham will keep the points, but although it's very unlikely, it is still possible Huddersfield will be docked points.

Which rules out a points deduction how ?

Maybe a points deduction to engineer Mighty Leeds into the playoffs ? ???

If Huddersfield rested players then I think that's squad management and fair enough. If they deliberately lost to engineer avoiding Fulham over 2 legs then that's more serious. Evidence of intention though is not really possible.

Don't see anything wrong with Huddersfield's team selection. Forest and Blackburn need to look a bit closer at themselves in their previous 44 games to see where their problems may lie. Birmingham lucked out with the fixture computer but so do all teams with respect to suspended or injured...

Yep. Big advantage now as the semi final could be as little as 6 days after the league season ends. Those playoff games are now the focus for Huddersfield, the 2 remaining league games are practice matches. Genuinely best wishes to you. The season is over in an instant if you don't get to Wembley.
