Our aim has got to be 12 points and 2 goals better than Reading. The rest is then academic.
Keeping The Dream Alive.

I like our chances and I think with home games against Yeovil and Blackpool then - despite the fact the table has us 7th - it is effectively back in our own hands.

I'm hoping for a repeat of the home game v Blackpool from last season. That being, us absolutely SPANKING them to help our goal difference.
Wigan will limp over the line like Palace last season. I think us and Ipswich will battle for 6th place until the final game with Bournemouth coming close. I can't see how we can do it with less than 10 points because there is much competition for 6th.
Burnley will already be promoted, and their players will be drunk. Easy game for Reading.
Exactly.
I'm not in the Wigan might be knackered camp. They've coped well with Europa league and cup run, have a great squad, and if they had got rid of the clown Coyle earlier then I think they could have finished in 1st or 2nd
They also have a load of Wembley experience too and they're strong favourites in my book for promotion
Hoping they royally stuff Reading

I agree with you, they've only won 2 of their last 8 tho. It will be interesting to see if they can get their minds back on the league now their cup run is over: if not they could be drawn back into the mix with a 1:4 win ratio!
If they beat Ipswich on Sat then they are in contention. If not they're out of it. I think them and Blackburn both need to win all their remaining games to have a chance.

If we have genuine play off aspirations then we need to be beating huddersfield. A team in very poor form with nothing to play for. All of the games are "must win" one feels but this is a true litmus of our resolve.
I hope we don't go into the Forest game only needing a point. If we need three points to guarantee a playoff spot, I reckon we'll get them; if we only need one, I don't reckon we'd get it - we'd set up to contain them and lose 1-0 to a goal on the break.

Will be very interesting if Blackburn are still in with a shout on the last day and playing Wigan.
