17 P45 51 Points -15 GD Huddersfield
18 P45 50 Points -14 GD Middlesborough
19 P45 50 Points -19 GD Birmingham

20 P45 48 Points -11 GD Charlton
21 P45 48 Points -29 GD Luton
=================================
22 P45 46 Points +01 GD Wigan
24 P45 46 Points -22 GD Barnsley
23 P45 45 Points -27 GD Hull

Wednesday

Birmingham v Derby
Brentford v Barnsley
Cardiff v Hull City
Leeds v Charlton
Luton v Blackburn
Millwall v Huddersfield
Wigan v Fulham

Barnsley need a miracle win at Brentford and hope that Wigan don’t win, Carlton lose or Luton fail to win.

Could happen if Brentford choke again!

Wigan can go down with a positive goal difference if Luton beat Blackburn and Charlton win at Leeds. (Cough).

But Wigan (if -12) have to beat Fulham to stay up.[/quote]

Gonna be an interesting night!

Old Man Andrews The jealousy on show here is amazing. Every Reading supporter wishes our club were more like Leeds, being bitter about their success is really childish.


That's a ridiculous statement

In terms of winning the league and squad we do. They are a top side, nobody can deny that no matter how much you hate Leeds as a football club.

In reverse then, did every Leeds supporter wish their club was like Reading during the mid-00's-early 10's :shock: Because we were a top side and they were shite.

Absolutely, we were the envy of all Championship sides at one point. It is a normal human reaction to be jealous of success, especially in football and because of where Reading are as a club. We'd love to be doing what Leeds have done and have their pool of players, most clubs would at our level.

Potentially have to add in Sheff Wed to the mix, if they get -12 on their current total they would sit bottom on 44 points and be relegated, as they'd be 4 points adrift of Luton/Charlton

Even if you're celebrating it's far too early to be drinking

QPR have made a £2m+ bid for Kieffer Moore. Would like to see us get involved with that price.

He's got an attitude. Steer well clear. Only 82 goals in 250 games mostly in the lower divisions aswell. Simply not good enough for our division.

Can't see us chucking much money around. Free signings and loans mostly.

I have created a really good list of young Premier league players that we could be able to get on loan, would you like to see it?

Saka is not in it.

yeah too much that for Moore. Was thinking more around the 500k mark would be interesting

Morsy is the one I'd try to nab off them. But i suspect we won't be alone in that

I'd like us to have a look at Hugil on loan next season, he is a decent target man. In saying that I would only be interested in another striker coming in if we offload Puscas.

They've got Kieran Dowell who I really have rated and followed about for a while. Good player.

yeah was keen on him coming last year to us as well. Guessing his wages would be high though and prob a big loan fee

I see QPR as a club relative to us in terms of finance and financial issue so if they managed it then we should too, especially with us offloading players for reasonably large fees.

Wouldn't mind taking a punt on Elliot Lee if Luton go down. He's out of contract. As is Jordan Rhodes, Dave Nugent and a Mr bodvasrrson.

Jake Forster-Caskey is out of contract at Charlton. No idea how good he actually is, but the shirt sales would pay for his wages.
