You fear for Fulham if they don't go up as they have quite a few players that will attract a lot of attention.
McShane seeing red will help though.

I'd like Fulham to go up but if they don't then I'd like us to try and sign Cairney

Reading down to ten, Reading to win then.

Petulance from McShane.
Surely he should know better than that.

League table suggests otherwise

So you keep saying but that doesn't tell the whole story. Fulham drew too many games but the goals scored and difference are quite telling. Reading have mixed grinding out results with getting hammered. Fulham have been more gung-ho and paid with too many draws but have much better individual players and much more attractive style of football.

How can you say the table "doesn't tell the whole story"? The table does not lie, that's a fact. Reading are better than Fulham this season what ever your opinion. I agree Fulham are a good attacking team but they are not as good as people think they are. They only just got in the play offs.

This season the table did lie as there's no way Reading were the 3rd best team. They seem to have had an endless supply of good fortune

Fulham were top of the table for the second half of the season, averaging over 2 points per game. That says recently they have probably been playing much better than they did for the first half of the season, and suggests their current level is very high. In that respect, the table doesn't tell the whole story and suggests Fulham should be strong in the play-offs.

Yes form through the season changes all the time. I agree that Fulham are in good form, as are Sheffield Wednesday. The facts are clear tho, Reading are a better team than Fulham this season, that's a fact what ever your opinion on the matter.
Yes, clearly no guarantees.

What a load of tosh.....Reading finished 3rd and were the 3rd best side in the championship it's that bloody simple.
Reading 'deserve it' for finishing 3rd.
Massive 'deserve it' for performance over 2 seasons.
Fulham 'deserve it' for having a significantly better goal difference over the season.
Yes, Huddersfield 'deserve it' as well for putting most pressure on top 2 in Feb and March.
Looking forward to Huddersfield v Massive at 12 today.

They weren't, they were third across the last 23 games, with a PPG of 1.91. Reading just 2 points behind them over that range (1.82 PPG) and 1 point behind them in the form table over the last 6 games approaching the playoffs.
