Leicester v Birmingham
Donny v Reading
Cardiff v Hull

Home wins in the first two games would be good, although I can't really see us catching Reading. A Birmingham win would really not be very good at all for us.

Cardiff v Hull is an odd one. A Cardiff win means that they would overtake us but that Hull couldn't overtake us with their game in hand. A Hull win means that we stay 5th but that Hull would overtake us with a win (or maybe even a draw) with their game in hand. A draw would mean a point dropped between two rivals but Cardiff would go above us and so would Hull if they won their game in hand by more than two. So not sure what constitutes a good result in that one.

Leicester v Birmingham - Leicester WIN
Donny v Reading - Reading WIN or DRAW
Cardiff v Hull - DRAW

What i think anyway, Leicester winning and the other 2 being draws would be the best case scenario, would mean dropping to 6th though but thats still the play-offs.

I think a draw between Cardiff and Hull would be the best result, both of them dropping points. It doesn't matter what the table looks like in Mid-March, only at the end of April, and I think them taking points of each other will aid us more in the long run.
