League Table

[BlueValour]

The BBC have us below Middlesbrough whereas, with an identical record, we surely should be above on alphabetical order? Not very important, I know, but just curious.

Middlesbrough have been the most successful team since 1992 when football was invented so they go above us based on that.

So do the EFL ?! Strange.

They also show Hull above Bristol and West Brom above Swansea despite those pairs having identical records 🤔

If everything is equal it goes on latitude...

Just had a look at the EFL rules on this - it's because Middlesbrough have scored 3 goals away from home compared to our 1.

9.2 If two or more Clubs have the same number of points, goal difference and goals scored the highest placed Club shall be determined by the respective League records against each other, taking into account in order of precedence, points gained, goal difference and goals scored.

9.3 If the above procedures do not separate the Clubs then the highest placed Club shall be determined by reference to the following criteria, in the order prescribed:

9.3.1 number of wins;

9.3.2 goals scored in away games; or

9.3.3 in accordance with the provisions of Regulation 9.4.

Town are only 5 points off the play offs as it stands even though  they are currently in the relegation zone

If we were in the play offs how far would we be of the relegation zone?
