That Marriott chappie scores a lot of goals. Maybe we could put a bid  in for him. £100k?

Apparently, he's poo. The  running  round aimlessly into midfield and out wide to try and get the ball, has no effect on a striker who scores most of their goals within 8 yards of the goal at all.

New defender to go with the new goalie signed the other week, a player on loan from Chelsea, Tom Ince and Andy Carroll for 5 months .  Embargo my arse.  Can we have our centre half back who we had to give to Stoke please- the ones who've just been allowed a 180 million FFP get out of jail free card.  bankers

It's fingers crossed time now that we're on the home stretch.

So if Fulham win their next 3 matches, they will probably have mathematically clinched promotion by the time we play them at home.

That would certainly put a slightly different perspective on what on paper looks a pretty tough game.

But we are at home and I think we can beat anyone at home

From the Barnsley forum:

"It’s not as though Reading deserved anything in the sense we were under relentless pressure from them .
The amount of room and loose balls we gave them and they didn’t / couldn’t make most of them because they were almost as rubbish as us . Two rubbish teams and we were far rubbisher than them . Could be both going down if Derby gets any consistency imo."

Been looking at the numbers.

It's now all about the IFs.

IF we can win 4 out of 6 games but get nothing from the other 2 then we will have 28 + 12 = 40 points.

IF Reading only win 2 out of 7 games and lose the other 5 then they will have 34 + 6 = 40 points.

IF Baaaaaarnsley only win 3 out of 7 and lose the rest then they will have 29 + 9 = 38 points.

IF all the above happens then we stay up on GD, probably needing to win and for Reading to lose on the very last day.

The final IF is therefore this.

IF Reading win 3 from 7 then we need to win 5 from 6.  IF they win 4 from 7 then nothing but 6 wins from 6 will keep us up.  IF they win 5 from 7 we are down whatever we do.

The signs from yesterday are that Wayne and the team know how to tactically adjust to get in front and then stay there.  Whether that will be enough now depends to a great extent on what Reading do.

Last season we were down and then were saved by Marlon Pack of Cardiff with 10 or so minutes remaining.

I suspect that on May 7th we will be in a similar situation, needing to win and for Reading to lose to stay up.

It ain't over yet!!!

If somehow we get down to the last game of the season with a chance it would be amazing - let’s hope

Its all about what Reading do IMO and I think anything more than 3 points and they stay up.

What would be the odds of all of those first 3 scenarios coming to fruition? 

I'd say low to mid hundreds to one conservatively
