I would have thought we need about 74 points to have any chance. So we're probably looking for something like 8 wins and 2 draws from 12 games. If we were to daw against Reading and win against Birmingham things would remain improbable but by no means impossible. The Reading game will be revealing. We should find out if the players are genuinely up for a spectacular run in to the season - or if they don't really believe their's and the club's propaganda.
Even on our good run I wouldn't have been confident about getting a result here, just something haunting about us and playing here. Not expecting anything but don't see why we shouldn't be able to win this.
Bearing in mind we have only won two on the bounce once this season and beyond, anyone with confidence we can win 8 or 9 from 12 clearly are on something non prescriptive.
I would prefer us to lose this and win next Sunday. Ideally I would like us to win both but I can't see that happening.
EI EI EI o up the football league we don't go.
"Can you hear the Reading sing, noooooo, nooooooo......"
To be chanted as we take a three goal lead into the half time break.
