Which scenario would you take given the choice:

1) draw both games

2) win Reading lose Newcastle

Would depriving Newcastle of 2 points be better than gaining the extra point ?

4 points fro the 2 games is a must I would say, win and a draw either way around is all good.

Shirley it's all academic as the season is all but over anyway.

Barnsley will hopefully be up for this one and get at least a draw v Hudds. Then a win for us, 6 point gap going into Tuesday, I'd feel happier.

I had a specific question for this thread. But it seems to have veered off course !

Neither, win both.

No disrespect, but what a ridiculous question.

If anyone would prefer 2 points to 3, they need their head examined.
I don't think it's a ridiculous question. And I still can't make my mind up which I would prefer. Obviously 3 points is better than 2 but preventing Newcastle from getting 2 extra points would surely be more beneficial.

Well, clearly we're going to lose both games because we're 'not a two 2 side'...

EDIT: Sorry, not top 2 MATERIAL.

We don't want to lose to Newcastle, unless Newcastle then beat Huddersfield.

Worst case : Newcastle beat albion, Huddersfield beat Newcastle.

Need to beat Reading to mitigate in advance against this.
