Reading will need to win to guarantee staying up...

Great result but Reading being hammered today means that they re only two points above the drop zone. Unlikely, due to Fulham etc, but they'll be more up for it... Oh but so will we!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :bluebird: :bluebird: :bluebird: :bluebird: :bluebird: :bluebird: :bluebird:

But realistically 3 of the bottom 5 (the three below them) all have to win. They have some tough games.

Reading 19th. Cardiff away.
Brum 20th. Fulham home.
Barnsley 21st. Derby away.
Bolton 22nd. Forest home.
Barnsley 23rd. Preston away.

I think Reading will feel confident they're safe. Although they lost 4 nil at home today! Hopefully they're on the beach!

Other way to look at it they may need to go for a win after half time if results going against them! So leaving gaps for us to exploit. :thumbup:

This is very important as Reading only have to match Brums result whereas Brum have to better Readings result.

Brum will have to pressure Fulham all match.

I wrote a post about it somewhere but not sure it makes sense.

Our fans have wrote City off continuously for months so that means nothing. Its going to be a tough game with huge pressure.

They are all tough games mate but it's also interesting to read how our squads resilience has broken down Fulham fans spirit.

Correct. Birmingham GD is -32 and Reading’s is -22

Reading need either Barnsley or Burton not to win. Also if Birmingham lose they are aright. That is a pretty long shot treble.

Reading must feel pretty safe as all the three sides have tough games.
