Ian Royal Next couple of games are absolutely huge with all four play off teams playing ones chasing on Leeds' coat-tails.

Then Cardiff play QPR, We play Leeds and Norwich have a local Derby.

Win the next two and I think we may actually make second, because from then in, it's relatively easy.

Agreed, beat Leicester and Leeds and I'd back us to snatch 2nd. I can't see us missing out on the play-offs in any circumstance.

Only problem is needing Cardiff to drop at least 3 points and Swansea & Norwich to drop at least 2.

I can see it needing all the remaining games to be won, certainly we can't really afford to drop points in more than one game.

Come on, Brendy. Did you really believe it when you wrote it?
of course i did, though ill admit the edge is taken off it a bit that id put the same results next to any twelve reading games you could possibly imagine.
Ive just got a tweet from shane long, he said the whole squad are doing it for me, and all the other rtgers.
and iVE decided that if we go up it will eclipse the championship season. Just because that season was over by march.this march we were right out of it,
Amazing scenes.

Here's the final five rounds of games:

Norwich City v Nottingham Forest
Burnley v Swansea City
Cardiff City v Portsmouth
Reading v Leicester City

Ipswich Town v Norwich City
Leeds United v Reading
Cardiff City v QPR
Portsmouth v Swansea City

Swansea City v Ipswich Town
Reading v Sheffield United
Preston NE v Cardiff City
Norwich City v Derby County

Portsmouth v Norwich City
Coventry City v Reading
Cardiff City v Middlesbrough
Millwall v Swansea City

Burnley v Cardiff City
Norwich City v Coventry City
Reading v Derby County
Swansea City v Sheffield United

Two highlighted games for each rival, seem the most obvious point-droppers.

I think it's fair to expect Cardiff to lose at least one and Swansea / Norwich to draw at least one... But that still needs us to win all 5. Which is a big big ask. That then means we need all of them to drop points in two games.

It's going to be facking close... and we seem the least likely to bottle it right now.

Imagine if we needed a win against Derby to guarantee promotion on the final day? My ticker can't handle it. :lol:

Another disappointing win against Derby would annoy me. It'll be all Pompey's fault, mark my words.

This season cannot disappoint me now. Fantastic. Never did I think we'd have 69 pts let alone with 15 left to play for.

I just hope at least we remain unbeaten for the next 5 so we are in form for the play offs.

I hope not! I must confess I would now be disappointed to finish on that.

I would like:

Norwich City v Nottingham Forest Please!
Burnley v Swansea City (Swansea aren't great away, but Burnley have "blown"
Cardiff City v Portsmouth (Probably Cardiff, but Pompey's best-11 can win anywhere)
Reading v Leicester City (I think this could be tough. Good players but Leicester aren't as good away from home)

Ipswich Town v Norwich City (Ipswich are hitting form, and it's a derby game)
Leeds United v Reading (Frankly, could be anything. IMO we just need to beat Leicester and draw at Leeds and it's done. Of course 9 x W would be brilliant)
Cardiff City v QPR (Please be brilliant QPR)
Portsmouth v Swansea City ((Dave Kitson to score the winner!!)

Swansea City v Ipswich Town DRAW PLease
Reading v Sheffield United (United are effectively down and are an inferior side, but beware "already relegated" teams)
Preston NE v Cardiff City DRAW PLease (Preston are playing very well recently
Norwich City v Derby County (Hard to see anything but a comfortable home win)

Portsmouth v Norwich City (Come on Pompey!)
Coventry City v Reading (Another one that won't be easy, but to DESERVE automatic, we need a result)
Cardiff City v Middlesbrough (BORO are bang in form)
Millwall v Swansea City (Come on Millwall DO 'EM! Henry Brace)

Burnley v Cardiff City (Cardiff will do well to win there, even if Burnley have given up)
Norwich City v Coventry City Easy win?
Reading v Derby County (Hopefully a serious, convincing win)
Swansea City v Sheffield United Easy win?

Not sure anyone actually cares what you would 'like'.

I would like you to fuck off and stop spamming the team board but that doesn't seem likely to happen any time soon.

If we don't quite make it then it's Shane Long's fault
