Although we're most likely to draw them all, assuming we're assuming all 4 results will be the same.

Which would pretty much see us in the play offs.

Four wins. Hmmm.

You've got to go back to the 9 of bloody January for our LAST four wins!

I'm pretty sure quite a few couldn't live through that. Can you imagine relying on penalties to go up?

Looking at the remaining fixtures I think it is possible, if we come out of the dressing room in the right frame of mind and play like we know we can we can beat any team in this league. If by miracle we get the 4 wins, I can see the others hopefully dropping points from these fixtures:

Saturday, 18 April 2009
Preston v Cardiff, 15:00
Reading v Barnsley, 15:00
Watford v Birmingham, 15:00
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monday, 20 April 2009
Burnley v Sheff Utd, 19:45
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuesday, 21 April 2009
Charlton v Cardiff, 19:45
Derby v Reading, 19:45
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Saturday, 25 April 2009
Birmingham v Preston, 17:20
Cardiff v Ipswich, 15:00
Sheff Utd v Swansea, 15:00
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monday, 27 April 2009
Norwich v Reading, 19:45
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sunday, 3 May 2009
Crystal Palace v Sheff Utd, 13:15
Reading v Birmingham, 13:15
Sheff Wed v Cardiff, 13:15

We can all but hope!

Agreed. Winning a penalty shoot-out to get to the Premier League would kill me violently. Not before I started crying though.

This is more like it. Remember this time in 2002, when we frittered away a large lead, drew 9 out of 10 games at the end of the season, but clinched promotion at Brentford. I could handle it!

Yeah but that didn't involved an emotionally crippling penalty shoot out at Wembley

4 more wins and we will be up. Definitely.

As long as only getting one in the next 4 games is enough to make the play-offs.

We need to be positive. Until it is mathematically impossible, you still have to believe!

Sorry to intrude on private grief, but I thought I would collect some downers before taking the biggest UPPER later today!(Hopefully,touch wood etc etc) who would of thought Reading would be the team to fall away out of the top three? certainly not me, good luck in the playoffs, should you make it!
Hope you get at least ONE win in the last few games, at home to Bloose, break their sorry Brummie hearts!

Maybe not in the way you mentioned, but it is possible. If we win our next 4 games then we may well return to our devastating form from before Christmas, and if that's the case then the play-offs could be ours.

Note the words such as: maybe, if, may, if, could.

Correct me if I'm wrong but is it now all but impossible for us to go up automatically?

So much for 'its in our hands' :|
