Promotion contenders thread

[rhroyal]

With most of us playing at different times this weekend, here's a thread to follow Norwich, Cardiff, Swansea etc. this weekend.

Naarwich 1-0 up at Ipswich. I still back Ipswich to peg them back. At home and in good form, won't want to let their rivals go up.

Good call on the thread. Currently listening on Reading World. C'mon the tractor boys!

[RFCUK]

FFS 2-0

It appears so Floydster. We need an Ipswich fightback.

Norwich still have to play Pompey away, and karma dictates that Pompey owe us one.

[West_Reading]

This is fine. It will deflate Norwich even more losing from this position so that even the playoffs will be too much for them. Good thinking by Paul Jewell.

Hmmmm.....Relying on Pompey doesn't fill me with me much hope.

[philM]

Screw hope. At this stage it's all about BELIEVE!

One day, just one day, this man may utter something remotely positive about RFC.

Norwich to drop points tonight was a bit of a must for us really.....still, at least it means that QPR must beat Cardiff on Saturday to confirm promotion.

[Ian Royal]

Hmm, that's second pretty much out of reach without an Ipswich fight back.

Norwich are unlikely to get complacent with Cardiff running them close at the moment and us and Swansea not far behind. The chances of them dropping 2 points from any of the other three games is pretty limited and I'm still not sure we can actually pull off a 12 game winning streak.

We could still finish 3rd realistically as Cardiff have quite a tough run-in in comparison to the rest of us contenders. Here's to hoping for a points deduction for QPR.

drop points tomorrow and the dream of second is all but mathmatically over. It was always a big long shot.

This.

Also means a Reading win at Leeds is a must if we want to remain in the hunt for auto.

This weekend endeth our chances.

Roll on the Play-offs.

[West_Reading]

As John Abruzzi once said in Prison Break, 'Ye of little faith'.

[Norfolk Royal]

3-0

[West_Reading]

BTW, does anyone know why the tannoy man said before the Leicester game that 'the good news is that OUR future is in OUR hands', when it clearly isn't. Unless he was never believing we were in the auto promotion race.

[PEARCEY]

3-0

You posted that scoreline with an air of triumphalism Norrers. Are you with us or agin us?

[West_Reading]

3-1.

Freiburg lose at home to Hannover.
