Baggies Deducted Two Points - Ipswich Town News
Town’s Saturday opponents West Bromwich Albion have been deducted two points for breaching the EFL’s Financial Fair Play rules.
The Baggies say they disagree with the EFL’s Club Financial Review Panel’s verdict and are considering whether to utilise their right of appeal.
The deduction sees the Midlanders, who the Blues face at the Hawthorns tomorrow afternoon, kick-off 12.30pm, drop from 18th to 20th place in the Championship, six points off the relegation zone with two matches to play.
However, Albion still look relatively safe with their goal difference six better than Oxford’s in 22nd and four better than Charlton’s in 21st. A point from their final two matches would absolutely confirm their Championship status.
Following their game against Town, the Baggies complete their campaign away at long-relegated Sheffield Wednesday, who are yet to win a home game all season, next Saturday.

West Bromwich Albion 0-0 Ipswich Town - Match ReportThe Blues drew 0-0 with West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns to move back to second and three points from promotion back to the Premier League. The Baggies, who secured the point they needed to confirm their Championship status, had the better chances in the first half, but the visitors were on top in the second - former Albion defender Cedric Kipre having a goal rightly disallowed - and a draw was a fair result.
