We had a similar experience in 2011. Finished 16 points above Bournemouth, but only scraped through on a penalty shoot out. But then got beat 3-0 by Peterborough in the final, who we'd finished 8 points above.
Is it time to make it more advantageous for the highest finishing team? It doesn't seem fair at all that Sheffield Wednesday have the same status going into the play offs, despite their 19 point superiority in the league table. The only advantage Wendy have is having the second leg at home.
Other competitions, for instance in Scotland and our National League have a much clearer advantage for finishing in the higher league placing.
Would it be better for the 5th and 6th teams to play a one legged game at 5th's ground, with the winners playing the 4th away, and then the winners of that meeting the 3rd place team at Wembley?
