just got to beat Forest? Not exactly Huddersfield away or Blackpool at home that one. Although if they are out of the race then maybe. Reading I expect to be ruthless and win their next two games.

We're much better this season against the top sides. I was far more confident going to Leicester away than Blackpool at home.

Big shout for Donny as well today. If it comes to the final day anyone got Ashley Barnes for a 90th min equaliser which puts Brighton into the play offs at Readings expense?


i will have barn-door-Barnsey to miss 5 sitters and get booked for petulance.

Whatever that thing is, ignore it, it's stupid.
I know what you mean, but needing one goal less can only help. If we score, we'll sit back and get pounded anyway.

Just so long as we go for a win that'll be a good start (thinks!)

It really doesn't matter what happens apart from the Reading game. Unless they get dicked by Donny about 3-0, whatever happens we have to win at Forest.

If Reading win, then it could be that even a win for us at Forest isn't good enough.

If Reading lose by 1, they'll need to win against Burnley to overtake our GD, meaning a draw against Forest should be enough to finish above them.

True, although a 3-0 final win for Reading is not in the realms of pure fantasy. What happens when GD is the same?

I really want Forest to be out of it.

They played Leicester at home on the last day of last season with the winner taking the play off spot. Leicester sneaked it with a 91st minute winner.

My issue is that scenario is unlikely to happen again, in a "lightning never strikes twice" sort of way, therefore I'd prefer for them to be out of the equation.

Reading would get in the play offs as they have scored more so we need them to lose about 3 - 0 today then a draw would probably be ok as there would be a GD of 5.
