Exiled in Texas Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Bundesliga has playoffs between 3rd bottom and 3rd top, so it's not unheard of. If you want the best quality teams in the upper division then this makes sense. Who would be better for the PL next season - Hull or Huddersfield? I like the drama from today but have to think that Huddersfield are overmatched Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 LO, looking back at their end of season, Huddersfield didn't win any of their last 8 games, and won one in 11, yet still promoted. They beat Wolves away at the end of April. Yep, they then proceed to draw three and lose two of their last 5 fixtures, "drawing" all three playoff games, that's 8 games by my maths. Your maths are s*** then. They played 2 league games after their win over Wolves, then obviously the 3 playoff fixtures. That's 5. I was about to call you out for being your typical arsehole self but you are right actually, the beeb site where I got that information from was including the playoff games. My apologies, still pretty woeful form of two wins in ten. http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/tables Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the Premier League club has the big advantage of having a team that was built for the Premier League, and all the money associated with that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually saying that, the play off are not fair, it's just a way to keep most of the teams interested and from that standpoint it works. It's always been 3 up and 3 down and hopefully it will always stay that way, if you finish in the bottom three of a 20 team league, you should be relegated, not given another chance.

afar Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I don't dislike Wagner at all, think he's a future great, think he'll be off back to Germany in the summer while his stock is still high, would probably be the smart thing to do, it's going to be an incredibly tough job to keep Huddersfield up next season.

huss9 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I'm sure Huddersfield's staff and fans couldn't give a flying f*** what their form is like They did well over the course of the season and earnt it. They only dropped from 3rd because they were rotating and resting players. Lets not all sit here like we're the kings of the world, this tinpot rugby club were a Derby equaliser away from putting us under huge amounts of pressure. ive detected a lot of arrogance on here recently, i agree 100 % with this post, the table tells a story of it being easy in the end, it was far from it and if that Derby equaliser had not went in it could have been so different.....some say we will easily be mid table though on the other hand, if that late leeds utd equaliser hadnt gone in at sjp.....

Yeah, we can all point out to parts where we were unlucky at certain stages but i do know what he means. Watching that Derby game just after our poor defeat to Ipswich, that was the first time I actually thought we would be pipped. We were on the back of 2 wins in 8 and had they held on they would have been 5 behind with a game in hand with them playing at home before our Monday game to potentially go 2 behind (and 1 game) having played the same amount of games. That Butterfield goal was absolutely huge at the time and did give us that buffer of being able to afford another defeat, but yeah, 3 days earlier if we hung on it would have been the same position anyway.

At what point is this just lowering value of the 38-match season? I enjoy the novelty of the one for the third playoff spot, but less is more in this circumstance.
