BonBoh This is now a knock-out competition
We are good at those with BMD at the helm.


True, but we're at the semi-final stage now - that's uncharted territory :wink:

It's all mind games...we are hardly going to come out and say our key threat is fully fit and raring to tear into Cardiff...

Because ONLY teams that begin with a B or a W can beat Reading in the playoffs or get promoted when playing us.... i think!

As no B or W teams are in the playoffs it must be our turn.

Bolton 1995 - Promoted
Walsall 2001 - Promoted
Wolves 2003 - Got to Playoff final and were promoted
Wigan 2005 - Promoted
Birmingham 2009- Promoted
Burnley 2009 - Got to playoff final and were promoted

and it seems only Teams beginning with B's and W's get mixed up in the Premiership relegation zone so that must mean we're nailed on for a champions league place .. :wink:

What about us beating Wigan in 2001? And Cardiff beating us in the 'lottery' of the FA Cup semis?

Because the day of the Cardiff game will be 16 years to the day since we last qualified for a Wembley final.....

Doesn't say much about winning it.....but that's a pretty nice omen for at least getting through

Basically we have to beat Cardiff because we always lose to the eventual winners and that is quite clearly going to be Swansea.

Because I am going to both the home and away legs and have previously only gone to the home games.

The FA Cup semi was at Wolves' ground though so there's the W influence.

Because we are the form side of the POs, better than Swansea/Cardiff over the last 31 games.


And the whole of England is behind us.

Both times we've qualified for the finals, one leg was 0-0.

Every time i've been to both legs, we've qualified, every time I haven't, we've lost.

On the downside, we haven't scored a goal in the play offs for upwards of seven hours :(

FFS! Why are we arguing over trying to predict a one-off game against a team that has been the virtual equal of us in all recent matches.

Its so close and so impossible to call you might as well be arguing over whether the ref's coin will land heads or tails.

Just one dodgy decision, one error or one piece of brilliance could decide it all - and that could come from anyone.

Err.........because it's a message board and they tend to be rather dull if people don't post their thoughts.
