They have 33 points , there is then a 4 point jump
If we and indeed the others in the death rattle at the bottom are to stay up its the wurzels who should be our scale
A win on Saturday and positive results around us could bring us right up back in the mix
That we are actually going to go out and start winning games is the rub
A defeat Saturday and we could plunge into the sea of death
It's all great fun
Splash!
As I see it presently we're probably favourites for relegation. Getting well and truly thumped 2 or 3 weeks and then sneaking a win is probably par for a relegation side. We're different. We can't hit the side of a barn door. I can't remember when the opposition keeper had to pull off a save. Get that right, we stay up, but the whole team act like clowns in big shoes when confronted with a chance. How a manager addresses that is anyone's guess..
In fact, Wigan, Huddersfield, Blackpool and Rotherham are the favourites for relegation. City are fifth in the betting at 7/4.Quote:

C'mon let's support the boys ..
reading could get sucked in, they had a very good start, but since October they've been as crap as the rest of us.
probably don't need much to keep clear of trouble, but you never know
I hate to say but I agree, we look like a shambles on and off the pitch and as a neutral you'd back us to go down all day long.Quote:

according to this - it's very tight
The leagues so tight plenty of teams can be dragged into it, but I don’t like that we’re so short in some areas (full back for example) and young players like Colwill, Davies and Bagan, who all weighed in with goals, assists etc. have made no sort of contribution this time, but, of course, we’re down unless we start scoring soon.
I also think we’ve got a tough run in.
What teams, with our shocking run of form , have managed to turn things round at this stage ?
Plenty of games left to grab a couple of wins to pull us up
But we are completely crap and look unable to score
Maybe the stattos can help
We need that win .....then another very quicklyQuote:

Let’s give the new manager and striker time before jumping off that cliff of despair.Quote:

Let's at least be able to say we've done our bit even if the players and board ultimately can't.
I reckon 50 points will see us safe so we need another 13 points.Quote:

I wish we did only need 13 points! How did you figure that one out? 51-29 = 21. We need 21 points to hit 50.Quote:

This leaves us needing at least 6 wins from the rest !
I can't see any way we can survive and I expect Wigan and one from Blackpool, Huddersfield, Birmingham or Rotherham to join us.
Rotherham have confirmed that Morrison's out for the season (think this was rumoured a couple of days ago) https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/64505552
That’s his career coming to an end. Once the injuries start to rack up it’s only a matter of timeQuote:

They were but they weren’t at Reading.Quote:
