On a positive note both Blackburn and Watford drew from winning positions, And Bournemouth failed to win at Yeovil

Can't see past Brighton TBH. Think Bournemouth & Forest were the 2 that blew it today especially given Bournemouth play Ipswich away soon.

Being objective & trying desperately to ignore our poor form...if we get something on Monday AND beat Wigan I would say it's a straight fight between Wigan, Reading, Brighton & Ipswich for the 2 spots.

Really praying Wigan hold onto this lead now so they have an extra game to worry about!

Yes.....a Wigan loss on penalties wouldn't be the end of the world.(a bit heartless of me I know!)

I wouldn't want to face Wigan in the playoffs, the way they perform at Wembley.

I wouldn't either. We won't make the playoffs but I suspect it will be QPR v Wigan.

Charlie Austin is back for QPR now. If it were a QPR v Wigan final, I'd actually fancy QPR more.

Everyone on here has pretty much written Reading off now...just imagine if we were to win on Monday and then get a gutsy point or 3 off Wigan?

It's not the despair that kills you........it's the hope

Think it will be Ipswich for me, coming up on the rails with very little in the way of hype around them. McCarthy knows what he is doing there too so probably appreciating being under the radar and keeping the pressure off a touch

Got to beat Leicester anything less is curtains. Wigan are a much better side than us. Probably need 10 points from remaining games. Tough. No excuses now.

Derby or Wigan to go up via play offs.

Nt to mention the fact we can still get 12 points if we lose to them and he thinks we only need 10.

A draw against Leicester and we are back in 6th. Agree that 10 more points should be enough for the play-offs, just can't see where we are going to get them from ?

Ipswich are the one to worry about pinching the last place

A demoralised (and knackered) Wigan still need to play Reading at home, and Burnley, Birmingham and Blackburn away...

I think we'll be lucky if Brighton drop any more points, I think we need to win every game personally.
