Fifa 10 Manager Mode play off error!

I have just finished my veryfirst seaon of MM with Colchester United in Coca ColaLeague 1.

I finished 5th and i noticed something wrong when i finshed all my games and the only game left was the FA cup final and because i finshed 5th in League 1 i would expect to be in the play offs, but no, it went through everything at the end of the season like the offers screen, player contracts etc....

My question is... Why was i not in the play offs even though i finished 5th and earned my place there?

silly me, i actually finished 7th, i was very tired when i finished the season, but i'm flying high in league 1 with a 10 point advantage at the top!
