    Agree with the late goals, I was surprised to see how soft you lot were.

    For a Saturday 3pm game in February all these would be valid points. However Sunday will be absolutely unprecedented. Biggest ever crowd, unparalleled tension.

    Even if we go 1 up and news comes through Fulham are also 1 up the tension will rise and everyone will become edgy. If we haven’t scored after about 10 minutes it will be very very tense!!! Tension does strange things to teams- and to referees!

    Nobody is saying reading will turn up and play us off the park but there’s every possibility it could all go very wrong. Football is most popular sport in the world because of it. Margin for error is tiny in a one off game. Early red card, penalty etc..... and it all flips on it’s head.

    We as fans have to do our best to not let the atmosphere get edgy and nervous, it will be hard but that's our part to play. We score a lot of late goals and must stick with the team until the final whistle.

    If it was a test match that couldnt happen of course. Over the full 5 days the best team will win, or at least not lose. You wouldn’t have amateurs beating top players in test match cricket- it could never happen, never has and never will.

    However in football upsets like that happen all the time.

    Absolutely. I’m just making the point the circumstances are unprecedented so making any predictions should be done so with that in mind.

    For sure, a trip to Fulham or boro, polar opposites. Villa can stay down for a few more and derby can go to hell

    We pressed very poorly at the Madejski, one player would go but nobody would cover the space he left behind meaning they could just play a one-two and they were running at the defence

    Of course. I just hope we can really back the team and help push them over the line, they deserve a fantastic atmosphere.

    The two late goals masked what was a really poor performance, probably one of the worst of the season

    We'll have to be a lot better on Sunday

    I might do the same, every time I have backed Cardiff they have lost, I changed my mind on Saturday and never had a bet, might bet on them on Saturday

    Warnock’s record against us is dire with just 5 wins in 29 games.

    Nevertheless, we (and Believe Warnock) had poor records at places like Norwich and Hull, but form prevailed. I do hope the same can be said for this weekend, but wish you the best in staying up which barring a mini miracle, shouldn't really be much of an issue.

    No doubt you will be posting an image of the betting slip, you gutless coward.

    Yep if we stay up and you go up I will be happy

    To be fair, if we go up I won't be giving 2 shits about who wins the play offs.

    I love the playoffs when you've already gone up automatically.

    You're clearly thick as sh1t as a £1 bet would probably have the same affect if you're that unlucky.

    This Fulham chap has been decent enough, but this reverse psychology type post and dismissal of reading in a one off game is rather stupid.
