    Same points, same GD, same goals scored. Surely our superior ranking in the alphabet counts for something?

    I think

    The next thing used to seperate teams in a situation like this is points gained away from home. I think they've got a slightly better away record.

    What happens if 2 sides have identical performance at the end of the season

    There has to be a process to decide the order - especially if they are tied for the last promotion/relegation/playoff place
    Anyone know what it is?
    Does head to head count - it probably should if not but logic doesnt always work

    Even if it does what if the head to head still has sides level?

    I think

    The absolute last thing they use to rank teams if they are inseperable using all other possible methods is the toss of a coin.

    the sides concerned have to do a play off match

    but I think they only bother if it has an effect on Promotion/playoffs/relegation
