    We play on Saturday but they don't play 'til Monday night so they know just what they have to do.

    No

    They'll know they'll need a win regardless of what anyone else does...could, if anything, work against them if results go against them

    No, not at all.

    You could have said the same this weekend, but that didn't help them. We play twice before they play again too, don't forget. Potentially we could even be safe.

    I don't care what they do so long as we win. It's in our hands.

    not really Ady matey

    if we beat Coventry on tuesday I think we are safe...and at the best a draw against Wolves would be all we would need as long as we beat Coventry...also I allready reckon Wolves have got not only promotion but also winners of the championship. But they only need a draw with us to get the honors ...I am now beginning to think we will be ok...ooops did I really say that......bugger :D

    Correct

    Win our next two and we're safe, no matter what. Four points and Norwich HAVE to win their last two games full stop.

    I remember when us and Leicester would've both been safe with a draw at Oakwell.

    Leicester ******* beat us 1-0 and we had to rely on Dirty Leeds getting beaten to stay up!

    in a way yes mate

    if other results go as planned reading will know they are guaranteed a play off place and may ease up. was hoping we wouldnt be working all these things out this season and that we would be safe by now

    Leeds drew mate

    but also Leicester were in deep do dos themselves. Wolves are all butChampions unless they lose their last two matches 4-0 and Brum win theirs 1-0 (or other permutationsif brum win both by more) hopefully they'll be having an 'Oxford' week !!!

    RE:Yes in one small way

    If Reading win mid-week and Swansea and Preston both lose next Saturday (all very feasible given the opposition) then Reading would already be in the play-offs and would be able to rest up (which they probably need).

    On the other hand if Reading win mid-week, Swansea and Preston both win, and Cardiff drop something, Reading will be needing a win to keep faint automatic hopes alive.

    All the games should be at the same time with two to go but that's the price paid for TV controlling the scheduling.

    The bottom line for us regardless of when the others are playing is that it's in our hands, so we've just got to go out and perform.

    Not really

    Even if our results go right for them they would still be under massive pressure.

    Maketh no difference either way IMHO unless both teams playing the later game have some benefit from a specific result i.e most likely a draw.

    It's in our own hands and has been all season.

    I think so, yes

    Given that Reading's team selection could be based on Saturday's results..

    Probably not

    But that's exactly what we've got to go for. I don't see an alternative.

    Teams like to keep a winning mentality going into the play offs

    I doubt there would be any easing up no matter what readings position.

    They will be looking for wins to build confidence back.
