Can’t see any “contact” sport resuming whilst the current ‘social distancing” measures are being so strictly enforced. That would surely be a bit of a mixed message to send out after all this effort to get it enforced surely? There was also talk recently of the concerns scientists had that having once got on top of the number of cases with these rules that relaxing them could lead to an increase in numbers again. Really not sure how you square that circle tbh. Surely there needs to be more certainty on suppressing this sh**e before something like football is allowed to resume?

I assume that effectively means the season's now over bar, possibly, the play offs for L1.

I wonder if the 4 teams in the playoff positions are still eager to see all the remaining fixtures completed?

Clear as mud from what I can see, watch for a reaction from the great under-achievers in our division

I wonder if the 4 teams in the playoff positions are still eager to see all the remaining fixtures completed? Would have thought so, as they will feel they can still come 2nd. So it would give them 2 chances to go up, instead of 1. Think the play offs were always going to happen if possible. So don't think anything has changed really. Otherwise Oxford wouldn't have wanted to carry on, as they would have went up in third.

You have to feel Coventry and Rotherham were always going to have the two places so Oxford getting a play off space seems a good outcome for them.

The table I saw had Oxford as third as it used weighted PPG, which is what I thought they were using. Now after reading the recent update though, I think you might be right. Depends which method they use though. Not really looked at the fixtures, but a lot of fans moaning that they have an easier run in than Rotherham. So they think they will finish above them. I think Coventry were going up, I think 2nd place was still up for grabs.

Just read the EFL statement and it does say they will be using the unweighted PPG method now. Last week they were talking about using the weighted system, that put Oxford 3rd and Wycombe 6th. If they are playing the play offs, it won't make much difference anyway. Will just change who is playing who and who is home first etc.

They should end it now. Use the points per game formula and if that isn't enough for Peterboro then tough sh**. I personally cannot see a return unto September of 2021 when gates at the Mem will be smaller as everyone has put on weight and we cannot squeeze our usual crowds in

Had forgotten all about Wycombe, explains why Peterborough are so vehemently against the season being ended! Football shouldn't be going ahead in this country at any level, can guarantee at least some cretins will congregate to celebrate winning title/going up/avoiding relegation.

I can't really blame them for wishing the season could be finished, but I'm shocked that clubs can so openly and so strongly oppose the measures which are designed to protect the health of players, staff, fans and all their families, and indeed to protect all the smaller clubs from going to the wall. Posh would obviously rather still go ahead and risk the very existence of Southend, Accrington, Rochdale, probably even ourselves, just to have the chance of getting into the playoffs and making the Championship. Greedy lady gardens.

Another club to add to my list of those I hate
