Reading 1 2 Burnley
Reading 2 1 Middlesbrough
Watford 2 0 Huddersfield Town
Watford 1 1 Ipswich Town
Wigan Athletic 3 0 Blackpool
Wigan Athletic 2 1 Reading

Maybe I'm being generous in us winning three and drawing on the final day, but I have us to be 3 points clear of Ipswich.

If we get to the play-offs I worry most about QPR. Austin is back & that spells danger

Whatever happens, it's gonna be ridiculously tight I'm sure! Could definitely do with a few goals as it could potentially come down to GD.

That would mean a massive upturn in form for Reading.

I have us piping Ipswich on goal difference. Squeaky bum time me thinks.

Everyone seems to be under estimating Huddersfield.

Despite their recent form, I think this will be a tough test than Forest who are in disarray and will have zero to play for on the final game of the season.

I'd be more than happy with a point tomorrow then two home home wins and see what's needed from Forest away.

Middlesborough will be tough opposition for Reading next tuesday. If I was laying a bet on that one i'd go away win on current form. Plus I feel Adkins has given his players a ready made excuse to under-perform with his recent ramblings regarding their injury list/phone book. Strange for a guy who usually comes across as fairly astute. Clearly has no confidence in his team. He certainly has no Rickie Lambert.

Indeed. I just don't think they're going to roll over and die that easily. Maybe (like us?) they've had their bad patch and they'll have a decent run in.. who knows! Hope I'm wrong of course.

One thing for certain though, we do need to score a few goals... amazingly (and although we'd all take it to keep in the race) I don't think our classic 1-nils are going to be enough. Going to be immensely difficult today though, as [MENTION=17583]The Camel[/MENTION] says, a point might not be such a bad result, but a 3-0 away win would be perfect! ;-)

Well, after much deliberation I have decided to raid the piggy-bank and have a solid 50p at 11/8 before today's matches. Hope it doesn't jinx us!

At least we should shift a few more Blackpool tickets than we might have done had results not gone our way.

Of our run in, the one I am most concerned about is Yeovil. I still think they are doomed, but they have a habit of producing shock results away from home. i.e. todays draw at Blackburn. They will be a pain to break down and the key is to get an early goal. If that happens and we play smart, then the floodgates could well open. If they remain organised, they could nick something on the breakaway.

I actually fancy Watford to do us a favour tomorrow. They are fairly solid and organised at home. I could live with a draw in that game if Watford can't beat them. Reading have a tricky-ish run in. They are wonderfully inconsistent and hopefully that form can continue into their last games. Ipswich (on paper) have the toughest run in. As long as we can beat Blackpool, a draw between them and Bournemouth on Monday wouldn't be too tragic for us.

I'm going to stick my neck on the proverbial block and say, we will make the play offs.....I think? ???

All going to (or better than plan) so far ... win the next 2 and then get a draw at Forest and we'll creep over by 1 point

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect Watford to get at least a point tomorrow. So if we can win our 2 home games, we have a week of knowing that a win at Forest will do it for us. What a bloody painful, nail-biting binfest of a week that would be...

It's going to be close but if we can't take 6 points in the next 2 games we don't deserve to be in the top 6.

Very much this.

Blackpool are hopeless. The worst team in the division by a huge margin. If they hadn't started the season with a ridiculous winning streak they would tailed off in last.

It's a must win and if Brighton can't beat them they don't deserve to be in the play offs.

Thanks Greens :(
Just looked at the table, and it confirmed my feelings that we are too defensive

Only Burnley have conceded fewer goals than us, and only the bottom six teams have scored less than us

= dull footy
