It will be a lot harder next season. One of the current playoff teams (West Ham?) plus Leicester, Leeds, three relegated Premiership teams, Forest plus probably a surprise team or two. We have really missed a trick this season in my view as one or two quality players could have seen us top two.
We get everywhere!

looked like he made things happen when he got some minutes earlier in the season.
Doesn't seem to be working for our strikers so why not give him a go?

Why
He's our leading scorer because he's out penalty taker

If Reading go up will they really be prepared to pay £3M for CMS ?
Yes, but we have a season's experience at this level now - plus some strengthening of the squad in the summer

correct me if I am wrong but a penalty when scored is classed as a goal so why the facepalm the facts are that Ashley Barnes is our leading goalscorer in 2011-12.Yes he did not score tonight but it was a great save and I am sorry to say but so supporters like you really seem to have no idea what this player does and bring to the team.Poyet is no mug and Barnes is one of the first names on the teamsheet.Watch Barnes work off the ball the workrate,the defending and then come back on here and slate him.

The 3 relegated clubs from the Premier League will have the parachute payments to maintain a decent playing budget and if the 2 Sheffield clubs come up from L1 there could be a dozen clubs all going for it.
Won't be easy............but we'll be better
Would anyone buy him for that much...?

Can't believe we got three points from that game tonight. You pretty much dominated the whole game bar the odd 10 minutes and if you play like that in your remaining 4 games you'll definitely make the play-offs. Toughest game we have had since the turn of the year and i really hope that you can get in the play-offs instead of the likes of boro and cardiff. All the best for the rest of the season

Thanks. You'll do okay I reckon up there with the big boys next year. Probably better than Southampton who seem to rely on hoofing it up there a lot.

I haven't come back onto NSC until now because it's hardly the time to say anything that could be interpreted as gloating. Yep, I think we all know in our camp that we were at least partially lucky - a strong penalty claim in the first half would have sent you on your way, as would the penalty itself if it had gone in - and despite Federici being a great goalie these things are always a bit of a lottery. Crossbars for both too.
I'd really put it down to 'luck of the champions' or something like ... obviously so much harder than the Christmas game. Why are we more consistent generally in this league second half of season? I don't know really, I think it's purely a mental thing - we feel the need to go up so badly, the imposed standards are so high. I've said the same thing to opposing fans last few games, but after the play-off tears twice in the last three seasons, the squad is really decided it has to go for autos this time to avoid that route - play-offs, bah, we've a long history of failures in those ...
Back to tonight, and I believe you scared us and hurt us more than West Ham did. OK, at Upton Park we started slowly, but once in the ascendency there weren't too many nerves, the supremacy was there. That was never the case today, biting nails till final whistle, so you can surely face West Ham with yours chins well up, and with every prospect of getting a result. I agree with the comments of the other Reading fan - you'be got the makings of a very fiine side indeed.
I would just like to say it's been nice to have sensible and friendly chat with you guys, and look in on RR whenever you like - you've an open space there when you like. Never had any problems with other forums except *cough* *cough* West Ham and Bristol City. Look through our MT and you'll see we've tried to give the NSC forum plenty of good publicity too!! All the best of luck, guys, for the run-in ...

I think this must be only the second League goal we have conceded this season in the first 20 minutes. Otherwise the game plan and result was predictable* (I thought we would run out of steam and I would have expected your goal very late on), except for the Vicente effect (but he cannot win the game on his own if our forwards are out of touch). Albion were missing first choice midfielder Liam Bridcutt and left back Jo Mattock so we were two below full strength as well. (*I predicted it.)
Not that I can predict the matches away to West Ham or home to Birmingham though.
