Not surprising though. You have 24 teams, playing 46 games. So you'll have atleast 4 teams in there that simply don't belong there and so many matches that at some point it just comes down to luck and conditioning or squad depth.
It is just to much for lesser teams, you even see some top teams struggle late in the season if they are involved in cup and european matches, how is a Championship team supposed to handle this?
I agree entirely Alex, 24 teams is at least 4 too many, add in that there is no winterstop (like in the Netherlands and Germany which have similar winters, probably a bit harsher) and there are two cups for Championship teams to take part in (League and FA) and it is just silly. The leagues below even compete in three cups (Johnstone Paint) and have the same amount of league matches.
I love going to Hillsborough on a Saturday afternoon though, 20,000+ people all singing the same songs and having a good time despite what the team do on the pitch!
