If all results stay the same at the bottom it'll be all but done, Reading will be double figures points ahead of all the bottom three with five to play.

If Reading can win today and Derby lose, a Fulham win next Friday night against Derby confirms their promotion and Derby's relegation. I'm going to that match with the Fulham supporting OH, so that would be ideal

 

Edit: FFC also need to beat Cov tomorrow.

Derby are down now, Reading have hit form, no discussion anymore for me.

 

Derby have Fulham and QPR next too.

 

Bottom three as it stands will go down.

Reading losing to Cardiff now...

[Yes]

They’re still gone, not making up a 9 point gap in 5 games.

Forest vs. Bournemouth on 3rd May could be a huge game.

 

Forest are gonna win the POs I reckon.

I wouldn’t rule them out for automatic promotion yet. This feels very reminiscent of Reading in the 2011-12 season when they started off really shit and then just became unstoppable, winning almost every game in the last few months and stealing promotion. 

[Asha]

Reading should consider themselves outrageously lucky that there have been 3 even worse teams. 
 

Sounds like they’re in real shit anyway though, with barely any contracted players for next season and I wouldn’t be surprised if they finished 24th next year.

Gonna be tight, both Forest and Bournemouth have tough games plus they are both playing each other in May.

 

Huddersfield have the easier run in (on paper) but it's not always how it goes. Fulham will get promoted this week.

Rooney is right to say Derby should have had a penalty but also Swansea could have done and also seen the Derby keeper sent off too ?

Our Nige is very fortunate to still be in a job down in Bristol. 1-1 at home today against the bottom club with 10 men. Fans are not impressed but he's still got 2 years left on his contract and the club can't afford to sack him. Seems that his stock has never been lower. 

[Wymsey]

Was quite bitter for sure towards certain other rival managers at times, but fair play to him for career that he had.

Absolute shambles from Fulham today. Cov doing the double this season. Cov FFS 

 

They're still getting promoted and as Champions but double defeat to Cov. Cov of all teams.

Shows how much he misses and relies on shakey being by his side.

The heck is going on with this Luton/Forest coverage

[goody2028]

Sky are having a right mare here aren’t they 

[Happy Fox]

Lovely to see Forest getting riled  cannot see them getting promoted

[OntarioFox]

forest, hope the wheels just came off with that

[kingfox]

The thought of Kenilworth Road being a potential Premier League ground gives me nightmares.

[FoyleFox]

Well done Luton

 

Off to Pride Park tonight, hopefully a shoeing for them and promotion for Fulham.

[Guest Manini]

Up the hatters!

Behave, it'll be absolutely fantastic 

[Happy Fox]

Sheepshaggers getting relegated today hopefully 

[Fox92]

Reading winning at Sheffield United, happy days hopefully Middlesbrough make play offs instead.

 

Cov winning at Birmingham which is big too. So tight for those play off spots.

Would it pass as being fit for purpose ?

 

Them and Huddersfield putting good pressure on Bournemouth.

 

Play offs as ever a lottery .
