Charges are being brought against the club by the Football Association after they fielded Gary Liddle whilst he was suspended for accruing 10 yellow cards.

The midfielder featured in the 2-0 win over Brighton in April when he should have been serving the first game of a two-match ban.

The club has 28 days to appeal.

    Puts them 1 point above the drop, away to Brentford on Sat, I think.

    Jeff Stelling won't be happy about that! How can a club not know a player is suspended?

    If only Leeds had done the same!

    Hartlepool will be safe unless Exeter and Tranmere both win. Or if Exeter draw and Hartlepool lose 6-0.

    3pts deduction for fielding an ineligible player? Shame the PL didn't do the same to West Ham ........

    He'll add it to his statistics of points thrown away from winning positions

    Silly idea. Don't you know West Ham have different rules? And that points deduction could've relegated them. ;)

    Very harsh, I bet they go down now on the back of this. Give Exeter another reason to beat Huddersfield anyway.
