In the result of QPR not receiving a points deduction, the four teams which look like they will be competing in this years Play-Offs are Cardiff, Swansea, Reading and Nottingham Forest. We all know that Cardiff and Swansea cannot meet in the semi finals of the Play-Offs, and the same goes for Reading and Nottingham Forest, but I have still included their results of previous meetings against each other this season in the statistics below just incase they do meet at the Final.

Before the Play-Offs we obviously have to get Burnley out of the way first. But in my opinion going by the statistics I think we would have a very good chance against Reading, I know we have drawn against them Home and Away this season with the Home draw coming from the last kick of the game, but I would also fancy our chances because they also haven't been playing as well of late and our team is a lot better than theirs imo. As for Forest I wouldn't fancy our chances as they have beat us Home and Away this season and are now starting to pick up some form. But this is the Championship and we all know that anything can happen. C'MON CITY!!
