The play off merry go round

[Simster]

A BIG BIG two nights coming up:

Brighton V Derby
Hull V Southampton
Leeds United V Nottm Forest
Peterborough V Reading
Portsmouth V Birmingham
West Ham V Middlesbrough
Cardiff V Coventry
Blackpool V Leicester

I know we've heard this before but on PAPER we have one of the more favourable fixtures of the night. Cardiff ought to beat Coventry, but it is handy that NONE of our other play off rivals have a more or less guaranteed 3 points.

But Albion, PLEASE just beat Derby eh! We can't afford another Millwall or Cardiff where we find ourselves behind to sucker punch goals. Given the fact that we are in the half of play off chasing teams who have played a game more, we simply can't afford to drop points in this one.

As pointed out on the Albion Roar. It is MIDWEEK - we are doomed ...................

A draw or loss tonight could dent our confidence big time I reckon.

Considering we are playing tomorrow id say either of those results tonight would be a catastrophe.

Definitely.

May only bump into Brummys on my way down tomorrow. Can live with that.

Brighton 2-1 Derby
Hull 1-1 Southampton
Leeds United 2-0 Nottm Forest
Peterborough 1-3 Reading
Portsmouth 1-1 Birmingham
West Ham 1-1 Middlesbrough
Cardiff 2-0 Coventry
Blackpool 2-2 Leicester


I'm more worried about our inability to beat top sides and win away than the lack of wins in non 3oclock k/o.

Brighton V Derby - Brighton WIN
Hull V Southampton - Southampton WIN
Leeds United V Nottm Forest - Forest WIN
Peterborough V Reading - Doesnt really matter
Portsmouth V Birmingham - Pompey WIN
West Ham V Middlesbrough - West Ham WIN/DRAW
Cardiff V Coventry - Coventry WIN
Blackpool V Leicester - Leicester WIN

Thats the best we could hope for, if we win we could do with a few goals in the process to boost the GD - but its a midweek game
