Wigan v Reading best result

sllugaes · Apr 16, 2014

Looking at the table would it be best for wigan to beat reading, so reading stay on 64 points, and we win on sat to move to 67 points, leaving reading trailing, although wifan stay solid in 5th.
Or hope for a draw wigan move to 68 points, us to win on sat thus 67 and reading 65, thus closing the gap between wigan??

A Reading win would be the worst result. Anything else is alright.

5th is still achievable! (probably unlikely though)

Win at Hudds. All we need to worry about.

carteater · Apr 16, 2014

the best result would be for reading to win by 1 goal and us to win by three goals, making the table look like this

Brighton +15 67
Reading +14 67
Wigan +13 67

but to be honest, if reading lost or drew, and we won, it would be good for us

also it would be nice if watford beat ipswich

Or perhaps Reading beat Wigan, and we beat Huddersfield by 2 more goals than they win by, leap frogging Reading and reeling Wigan in, going above them both

Wigan win is probably the best outcome. By the way, see you at the Huddersfield game on saturday.

The way I see it, so long as we beat Huddersfield then whatever the outcome of the Wigan v Reading match will have a positive aspect.

Albion & England forever.

Dare I use the words Goal Difference!

It's starting to get very tight and it could come down to Goal Difference, so a BIG win for us and the rest is out of our hands!

On the basis that we just need to get into the play offs and not worry about getting 5th as 6th position will do, i hope Wigan win 3-0.

Lets get 3 points at 'udders and worry about the other results later.

Wigan win, think it`s unlikely that we will catch them so it`s a four way fight between us Reading, Ipswich and Bournemouth.

Gazwag · Apr 16, 2014

Whatever happens it doesn't matter if we finish 5th or 6th we will get a home leg first, maybe 5th is marginally better as we will get an extra days rest, but so will the team we play.

At the end of the day we need to aim for 6th and let Wigan worry about 5th - a Wigan win would be best IMO

This, but as others have pointed out the key is for us to win.
I'm still of the view that draws are the best result when our rivals play each other, as then collectively they have two points, as opposed to three for an outright result. But this all depends on whether we think Wigan are nailed on for fifth place, or whether there are two places up for grabs.

Wigan still have a game in hand , the crucial result is us winning at Huddersfield.

Only a guess but I reckon you'll be pretty lonely at Huddersfield on Saturday

A draw would be best, as neither side would be able to take any confidence from a win into their next game and neither side would get away from us. I'm also mindful that we're 11/10 for the win at Huddersfield, so the win is viewed 50/50 at best - could see that being a 1-1 draw.

This.

If we lose tomorrow, then we have to hope Reading lose too (and Ipswich, and Bournemouth!). If we win or draw, then a draw in the Wigan-Reading game suits us nicely. I think we can catch Wigan going into the final day fixtures.

While it's nice to start to think about who we'll play, and where and when (QPR please - just for the transport impact of a week-day away game)), let's concentrate on winning this Friday. I know it's 'out of our hands' now but if we get 12 points from our four remaining games, there's a chance someone else will slip us and let us in.

Onwards and up-the M1-wards.

Pavilionaire · Apr 16, 2014

How is it out of our hands? We're just one goal behind Reading with home games against Blackpool and Yeovil to come. Reading have Burnley and Wigan to play, so whereas we have the scope to put 3 or 4 past two sides Reading have no such scope against any of the sides they have to play.
