I'm far from convinced the decision to postpone was correct but nothing was ever going to come from any challenge when health and safety is mentioned.

The comment on the poor communication is quite interesting.
It's not a case of getting a sanction to benefit us. It's about getting a team who cynically postponed a game at their own whim due to injuries, directly affecting teams in and around the playoff spots sanctioned which would disincentivise other teams from considering doing the same thing in the future.

It's about correcting any possible advantage Derby now gain over thoe teams around them.

"Poor communication" is merely an absolute cop out by EFL as an excuse to avoid getting involved in having to sanction a team in the playoff spots.

What this ruling says is that ANY other team can pull the same stunt in the similar circumstances, following precisely what Derby did and only get a reminder about communication. The fact that plenty of the evidence had little to do with communciation has been overlooked.
