It certainly wouldn't be the end of the world, 2 points would be decent, I just thought you were saying you'd be happy with 2. Even though it wouldn't be bad, I wouldn't be happy unless we got more. Maybe you're just happy with the playoffs, which is fair enough.

Stupid IDIOT
Interesting stat for Huddersfield if by chance they get to the FA Cup Final then the Championship play off final then it won't be played till Saturday 3rd June. Doesn't give a lot of time for a team to prepare for the following season.

Most if or fans savvy enough to not want a Huddersfield win now. Unlike when they played Leeds at home and some of our fans in a pub at Brentford were cheering them on to win
Alright chaps, long time lurker on here (since that amazing / horrific 2010/11 season in League One... anyone else starting to feel like this could be similar...:////)
Just wanted to say thanks for all the great comments on this and other threads about our team. It's clear that a lot of you understand the journey that we've been on, and aren't surprised by the impact. Obviously none of us thought that we'd do this well, this quickly; but the groundwork was there for all to see, that wanted to look, last season. Throw in a load of players that understand and want to play Wagner's way, and you've got yourselves a special mix!
I would love it, love it, if the two of us went up 1 and 2...and I think we're actually starting to believe that this isn't impossible. Like has been said in the Newcastle thread, they were absolutely dire last night, lost Gayle again to a hammy, and have a very difficult run coming up. Combine that with the pressure they're already feeling (anyone seen that ridiculous Colback interview about us being 'irritating'), and how close 3-4 of their players look to getting sent off each game, and things start to get a little bit more exciting.
That said, we've got to keep going on this run we're on,with the focus now being on Reading - often our bogey team, we have no reason to not be (humble but) confident about getting a win tonight. Not sure how much you looked into the team that we played against City at the weekend at all, but we essentially used it as a training game; an opportunity for our harder working players to get a bit of a rest (/come on for the last 30 mins for a bit of a run), and a chance for some of the fringe players to state their claim on the first 11 spots. Mission success! And it might sound strange that we're happy about the replay, but we will play the same team again as an opportunity for more competitive minutes in their legs, so they're ready to drop into the first team when required int he run-in.
Tonight - we owe Reading one. In the away fixture we had a man sent off after 26 minutes for dissent (VLP wont be doing that again!), yet completely dominated them in the second half and were so unlucky to not come away with anything. That will have hurt Wagner, and he'll make sure that we put them away early tonight. Expect a similar first half showing to how we ran at you lot - it should be a similar game actually as Reading don't have a totally different style to yourselves...which is exactly what we like to play against. Something to get in the faces of
That said, there is such a long way to go and it could / probably will go all tits up over the next few weeks.This is Town after all. Regardless, I'd reinforce my point that I would absolutely love it if we both went up it the top 2, and Newcastle had to fight it out in the playoffs with the Massive and the Scum. It's just a shame that we aren't playing again - it'd be nice to do the whole guard of honour thing again.

Getting to the business end now.
What are we all worried about? If town win, then that is fine.....they have a very tough Tuesday/ Saturday run in for the next few weeks and also cup replay to cover....if they win every game they deserve to go up......however it is all in our hands. We carry on as we have been apart from the blip and we will go up automatically.
As another famous northerner said.....keep the faith.

Very much this. I'l take what ever crumbs our opponents can throw our way, but in my opinion this team has what it takes to see this thing out, and potentially early too. Next two home games provide the perfect opportunity to stake our claim regardless of what others do.
Draw or Hudds defeat btw...
madinthehead
I have changed this
I have gone Reading win.. Hudds look good at the moment, so I would like them to take a knock to their confidence.. Reading would still be 5 points behind us, having played a game more and having a lot worse GD. Anything apart from a Hudds win would certainly relieve a little pressure...

A draw with red cards and injuries galore is the only sensible outcome anyone supporting the Albion can hope for.

Ugly draw with mass brawl when Reading get a last minute pen, 4 red cards

Ideally a draw, but cannot see anything other than a Hudds win at present.

I want the team who has a better chance of beating Leeds in the play-offs to LOSE tonight. I cannot bear the the thought of Leeds fluking their way back to the top flight via the play-offs.

I think Huddersfield will win this, their blip will come later in the season against mid-table teams
Likewise, but it seems the FA have decided they'd like Newcastle to be promoted.
I looked. 10 changes from the game against us. Annoying.
I don't think that's the way it works. You can't just put teams away because you want to.
The game was obviously terrible for us, with a similar result to the last time we played Kayal and Norwood in the centre together. With Baldock also missing, it was a perfect storm. You'd be mistaken to think you'd usually be able to outplay us like that.Expect a similar first half showing to how we ran at you lot - it should be a similar game actually as Reading don't have a totally different style to yourselves...which is exactly what we like to play against. Something to get in the faces of
I'd wish you luck, but obviously I don't want it at our expense.
