can you explain that playoffs? 4 teams are fighting for one spot? dont really know much about that
we just won our first game of the year 5-1

derby in 8 days
€ 18 games without a loss now

within the english leagues, and a few others ofc, what happens is the first 2 teams gain automatic promotion, and the 3-6th teams, go to a knockout round drawn against each other at the end of the season to get that one last promotion place.
So for my team in the championship it doesnt matter if we finish 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th, we need to perform to stay in that zone, maybe work for second in the league, but more to the point we need to really perform in the 3 games at the end if we do hit the play offs.
