Three wins and we will still go up

[papereyes]

6 draws and we're up.

[Archie's penalty]

6 draws and we're up.

I like your attitude.

BELIEVE.

[floyd__streete]

Come on Reading!

Four wins from the last three games and we're going up!

glass half full said

I would love it, I would really love it (to quote KK) if we thrashed Barnsley!

Like I said 'written all over it' and now a few quid better off. Still lovin' your positivity though!

[earleyroyal]

Last year 'we'll stay up easily, second season syndrome doesn't exist, Sidwell is no great loss...plenty of time, all we need to do is win the home games against our rivals...Tottenham have nothing to play for, we'll beat them'

This year '3 horse race...best squad in the league...we're going through a bad patch, once we hit top form we'll walk away with it...all we need to do is win our games in hand'

I look forward to the 2009/10 'win our last six games and we are staying up' thread 'because our squad really does look stronger than those around us'

THIS

Read it, digest it, work it out


(I had a soft spot for "its only been X games, give them time to turn it around" where X slowly but surely increased from around 10 to 38)

You do realise you misery guts are doing exactly what the others are doing but from the other angle? Is to hope such a crime?

[Rex]

No - but to have blind faith in being taken up with the current team and on this run of form (and all its variations) means that there will be a number of dashed hopes this season. Sitting around me are a number of people who are stating they will not renew their S/T. The smell of coffee is strong.

[Archie's penalty]

It's the hope that kills you as they say. I've basically given up now but when you lose hope sometimes inexplicably it turns round. Right that's enough cliches for one night.

[Rex]

Palpable frustration.

If one was being miserable simply for being miserable, then yes, you'd be right.

[papereyes]

btw I've not found any reasonable travel back from Derby.

but given that we're pretty much certain to be playoffs but not automatic, I guess I'll see you for the Norwich game?

[Archie's penalty]

I take your point Papes. Our form can't help but make one feel miserable. And yes I think Derby is too much of an ask. See you at the borefest that will be Norwich.

Come say hello if you see a little baldy struggling to blow up a 6 foot inflatable palm tree.

And lend a hand.

Astoundingly with Sheffield losing tonight the jar is still a tiny bit open for automatic promotion. We need to win all three and have a few results go our way but stranger things have happened.

I know I will get the usual abuse for posting this but I for one will not lose hope til it is mathematically impossible.

I personally think it will not be possible after tomorrow but if we do win tomorrow then we just need:-

Cardiff to draw one of their last 3 (highly possible)

Shef Utd to draw one of their last 2 (playing Swansea saturday- so a must win for the swans and then Colin's lot on the last day of the season...so again highly possible)

Brum to lose their penultimate game( 5.15 K.O. Saturday, against Prston - a must win game for Preston so slightly possible).

Us to win our last 2 - nO F**KING chance.

Play offs it is then!!!!!

If all these things come to pass (unlikely but they could) then we'll be playing Brum on the last day, three points behind with a win taking us up. I'm sure if these miracles happened the team would be well fired up to turn Birminham over.

Call me a fool and dillusional, but I have just placed £20 on Reading to finish 2nd and get promoted automatically. Thought it was worth a punt at 50/1.
