Leeds v Reading is a useful game, would hope for a Leeds win or a draw.
Also would like to see Norwich take points off Villa as still think Villa are much more of a threat long term.

Unfortunately I think most the other playoff contenders will pick up points, but then it's the Championship, so who knows?

Could work out ok for us if we can sneak past Blackburn

Leeds v Reading and Norwich v Villa both look like draws.

Burton could Spring a surprise, otherwise can't see any upsets, wins for Newcastle, Derby, Wednesday and Brum

Norwich v Villa could set back one of them very badly in terms of challenging for top 2.

Leeds v Reading. For 1 night only "we all love Leeds and Leeds and Leeds". Defeat for the smug biscuits would be most welcome.


The rest should be points for our rivals across the board.


Derby and Newcastle will have 'easy' wins tomorrow.


And the BIG FA Cup replay is tonight...

MK Dons vs Charlton.



Most importantly....

Blackburn 0 Albion :albion2: 1

Have predicted a 3-0 win for us - worth a bit of hope.

Leeds v Reading has a draw written all over it which would be nice. Norwich v Villa could be a draw, but I suspect Villa may edge this.

Can't see Wigan doing us any favours at all.

Would like to think QPR are capable of de-railing the Derby charge though.

Would prefer Villa win to a Norwich win as they are furthest away.

Not to worried about any results except Readings. Really need them to drop more points.

There is hope in a few of those games but I'm not expecting many favours. Draw ok for us tonight but with a tough game Saturday be disappointed if don't win.

I'm convinced we can have a good xmas by beating QPR and Cardiff at home so these 2 away games are a real chance to put it right on our rivals.

Win tonight be huge . . again.

Blackburn on a tue , smarting from a derby defeat and in reasonable form = not easy at all.

Brum and Hudds drawing. Not too bad so far.

Brum winning by half-time. That's not so good, but we can take things into our hands on Saturday.
If Barnsley can sort things out, everything else is going swimmingly.

8 points clear currently.

Watching Norwich v Villa, fairly intriguing match up, Norwich seem to be recovering a bit lately.
