I can see Reading dropping out and Middlesbrough getting in them Saturdays game is Middlesbrough v Bournemouth could do with a draw in that
Sorry i was looking at wrong date its 2nd April so there next Championship Game. I forgot they was stll in Cup
Reading are vulnerable - don't actually know how they've hung around there all season. Haven't been impressed with them when I've seen them play. Would rather Watford go straight up -- they are looking really strong at the minute. Wouldn't rule out Boro, Bournemouth or Cardiff
We need back to back wins this week to put pressure on Bournemouth for when they return to league action.
They still seem to get results though. I certainly wouldn't write them off and we could just as easily drop out. Other teams will be saying that we should be due a bad run at some point! Remember we played Reading off the park at The Madjeski earlier in the season and Helik got sent off just before HT. Second half they eased to a 2-0 win. Mind ya that was under Struber when we loved to fanny about with the ball at the back and not go anywhere!
In what is arguably the weakest Championship for some time IMO, nobody seems to want to cement a place in the playoffs except us. With the run we’re currently on, we’ve come from nowhere. We might not be playing “champagne football” as our good friend “Willo” puts it. But we’re solid all across the back, got a bit of pace & power about us now up front and we’re getting results. We don’t get bullied anymore like we would have done in seasons past.
We have two huge games this week. Not taking either likely and I'm sure Val will have them in the right mindset and attitude. My opinion is that if we do get maximum points then i will dare to dream.
