WBA 3-0 down. don't look anything special at all. Stoke 2-0 down, Rotherham will fancy their chances Saturday, Bolton 2 down. they are gone.

3-2 Brizzle now. They look pretty poor as well, though only been watching 15 mins

With six games to go and with so much at stake, i can guarantee you the form guide will go out the window!!! These last six rounds of fixtures will be a lottery especially as it goes down to the wire.
Yes, there will be games that go to form, but no one will want to be playing the teams at the bottom fighting for their lives and shocks will be aplenty.
Its time to role up the sleeves and go to battle!! and we should be asking ourselves do Reading as a club have the ability, the mental strength and the sheer fight in them to stay up?

Ability - Yes
Fight - I think so
Mental Strength - This scares the hell out of me!!!!

On a more positive note Swansea are finally hitting form and Danial James is on fire. If they beat the fakes on Saturday they will play Rotherham at the Liberty on the back of four straight wins and unbeaten at home this year.

What's everyone's thought on Millwall QPR tomorrow? QPR win and they'll be safe, and it'll drag Millwall right into it. But Millwall win and they'll still be in the dogfight, but also dragging QPR into it. Still think Millwall will be safe regardless but QPR have some right mid table fodder after this so difficult one to call

Think Millwall will thrash them tbh, so matters little what result I think would be better...

A draw is always preferable where two rivals play because it's a total of two points gained across them rather than three if either win.

QPR have the easier run in on paper but are in freefall. Anything but a QPR win would be good as it would keep both of them in the mix.

Cracking result for Boro last night. Hopefully Villa can do the same tonight with Rotherham.

We can expect anything from Norwich this evening. It’s all about the local ‘derby’ with Brentford this Saturday. Cannot wait!!

Ok absolutely huge a the weekend now, Rotherham at Stoke, Millwall at Sheff Utd and Wigan host Norwich on Sunday. a win for us could be massive.

Agreed, Saturday is now a massive game and if we win and results go our way we could be in touching distance of safety. However, this is Reading lol.
Would be nice to see 20,000 on Saturday, what with the importance of the game and being a derby game to-boot.

just looked at Wigan's remaining fixtures :shock:

I'd be shitting it, if I were them.

IF we win Saturday AND results go our way. I can see a two way fight between Wigan and Rotherham. That point last night was very important for us.

wonder if anyone will actually consider them going down now. THey've been my pick for weeks.

Manager not exactly rallying the troops after the game either. And unlike us, and to a lesser extent Rotherham, they have been on a shit run of form

Not according to the Sky "experts" yesterday (ie the ex Stoke long throwing bloke and captain of perennial bottlers Derby)

The 2 late goals last night (Hull's & ours) were massive. To get above Wigan is a massive boost esp as realistically not sure if they will get more than 1 point from Norwich, Leeds and Preston. Wouldn't fancy them at Brum either.

This weekend is massive - we have an incredibly winnable home game whilst our main rivals have the following:

Sheffield United V Millwall
Stoke v Rotherham
Wigan v Norwich

We can only focus on ourselves but can only see Rotherham getting anything there so a win will open a gap over 1 or 2 clubs ahead of Easter.
