Tuesday evening Huddersfield v Reading

[Surrey Phil]

Just a Reading win please. Huddersfield much the better and more dangerous side... we have a game in hand on RFC and got them at home. No brainer...

Totally agree!

 

[drew]

Not sure but think a Reading win would be good as that will leave us with a game in hand and, if we beat them next week, we'll be 8pts clear still with the game in hand. More importantly, it will put the brakes on Huddersfield's surge which I think is more of a threat.

Reading win, knock Huddersfield confidence we then beat Reading taking us 8 points clear of them and a game in hand.

Great minds think alike we must of wrote this at the same time

 

[Mackenzie]

Huddersfield win would be the worst result for us, any other result has it's merits.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Draw. Then Reading come to us needing to win, have to attack us and we pick them apart on the counter.

Put like that it seems so simple! But yes, a draw ideally, failing that a Reading win.

 

[Rugrat]

Can't see a Huddersfield win in preference to either of the other 2 results surely.

Probably the least favourable but a Hudder's win would see off Reading once and for all and maybe give us additional advantage in our game v them (Reading)

If Reading were to win then it would be 2/4 instead of 2/3, that changes the odds considerabely I guess

 

[Official Old Man]

Huddersfield may have a fixture pile up soon.
I've gone for the draw, point dropped.

 

[WGull]

A draw is optimal because both sides drop points, however if one side has to win I would rather reading than hudds as the game in hand and form they have is scary, also with a reading win the might be less desperate for a win at ours

 

[Mellotron]

All this chat makes me more and more confident that Hudds will be two up after 10 minutes...

 

[Caveman]

Scrappy draw with a couple off sending offs and niggly injuries?

 

[SUIYHP]

Reading win will give them a big confidence boost going against us
A huddersfield win will keep them within arms reach, and they shouldn't be underestimated unless they falter.

If one was going to win, Reading, but I'd fancy a draw

 

[Billy the Fish]

Reading win.

In this particular case I'm not accepting the mathematical answer that a draw is best. Huddersfield are flying at the moment and I expect them to drop less points than Reading during the run in. Reading are capable of halting their momentum, I'm not sure too many others are.

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

In order of preference
Draw ( both effectively lose ground on us and is preferable to a Reading win giving them a boost before our match against them)
A reading Win
Huddersfield win

 

[BensGrandad]

I say Reading win, being confident that we can then beat them at our turf. A draw would also be fine.

That is the best scenario

 

[albionfan37]

I think the best would be a reading win as long as we beat them Saturday Huddersfield really need stopping in there tracks a draw would also be acceptable

 

[studio150]

Draw

 

[Trevor]

Draw is probably best. If either of these sides catch us then we have a problem. 2 points dropped by both is probably best

 

[Triggaaar]

I am quite shocked at how the Huddersfield manager seems to be relishing this cup run whilst aiming for auto. Very refreshing

Didn't they rest a load of players?

 

[Icy Gull]

Didn't they rest a load of players?

No idea but all the other Championship pacesetters seemed very happy to bow out with a reserve team. Was that a reserve Hudds team today?
