Ipswich, Tranmere and Gillingham all scored 5-0 over Bolton which is unfair. Rochdale also had a 3 goal advantage and Wycombe 2 which all benefits their goal difference.
The chances are the EFL will make us still play the game and we will face the best team Bolton can put out.
Even if Bolton get a 3 point deduction, that will benefit every club in the league, including those that ALREADY benefited from a significant goal difference.
We have drawn the short straw and I don't see that the EFL will address it. We can only hope we still beat Bolton and we score enough points over the season that the goal difference would not adversely impact us.
At the MTO meeting Gavin said that we have commented to the EFL and he expected a response soon. That was a week ago since he said it, so all we can do is wait and see what happens. Personally, I don't think Bolton and Bury should have been allowed to start the season. They have both messed us all up and no-one will be happy. Even teams who have not faced Bolton's children will feel they have lost out. And the table is corrupted by the number of games played.
