Heard Wagner and the local media talking absolute bollocks.

The one they both said and repeated was that once the 4 teams get in the playoffs they all have an equal 25% chance of getting promoted.

Would we say that if Norwich played Rotherham at home they both have a 50% chance of winning.....of course not.

If this kind of joke math was true you could just bet on every underdog and win more money than you could ever need.
