Pepe the Horseman Stranded So due to the fact we are the only game on Saturday, we'll know where we stand before we play.
Friday's games
(3pm unless stated)
Huddersfield v Preston
Norwich v Fulham
Sheff Wed V Cardiff
Newcastle v Leeds
Can see us still being 4th and having at least a 5 point gap to 7th before we play although Newcastle's record at home against the top sides is awful, but Leeds' away record against the top sides is equally bad.
Probs been covered elsewhere, but why are we playing on Sat?
Who knows. Aside from the PL and one game in Division 3 all other games are scheduled for the Friday so presumably Villa moved the game to Saturday deliberately as can't see the games being scheduled for Saturday and everyone moving them to Friday.
As I can't see any club electing to move game and get one day's less rest before a game on Monday (Villa are at Fulham), I presume this is something inflicted on Villa by the police and once again Reading happen to get the short straw having already been done over at Sheffield due to the incompetent fixtures program. Therefore let's hope the game has the same result as at Sheffield....
