I know that all teams accept it as the norm these days and only the teams finishing 3rd would vote against but a league performance is over 46 games, not a two legged match.

How can it be fair that Brighton who finished 15 points ahead of Wednesday look likely to miss out, and tonight Walsall who finished 10 points in front of Barnsley are almost certainly out of it.

Being constructive, my suggestion to give recognition to a teams season long performances would be a 1 goal start for every five points difference in the final tables, so Wednesday would have started at 0-3 and Barnsley at 0-2.

No its not fair at all but alas money and TV talks in this country so its here to stay sadly.
