Well, even if we do win against West Ham today I'm still not sure whether we will finish 2nd. If we win today we will go 4 points clear of West Ham but looking at our fixtures it will be very tough to stay there. To be fair, I'm glad we lost against Peterborough because we weren't going to go unbeaten until the end of the season. If we didn't lose that game and we lost this against West Ham our heads will go down and we will be thinking that we wont be able to do it and we will end up losing silly games like Palace and Forest at home. With Leeds, Brighton, Southampton and Birmingham to come it will be very tough. But I think that we can do it. I think we will beat Leeds at home, Brighton away, Southampton away, Forest at home we should win, Palace at home we should win and then Birmingham away
But I think from now if we want to go up we need to take it one game at a time. Today is West Ham, we have a game plan and we will focus on getting the 3 points. But we deserve to go up this season. In these leagues all you need is consistency to get out of it. A couple of seasons ago Reading were near the relegation zones and then they put a few wins together and ended up in the top half. So all you need is a good run and you will win promotion to the Premier League. Which is where we are going at the moment.
Come on you Royals!
If we win...

Look at both teams positioning and the form. There is a difference. A pretty big difference as well.

Well we did win so what did I say be true? Hopefully not because with wins like that we will go up into the Premier League

OK I have checked the match reports, and - fair dos, you are right, the reports say they did put 7 past us.
But if that had really happened, we 'd have notcied at the time. I remember the Leeds goals, all 3 of them . as we powered to yet another deserved victory and an assured play off place, I would hardly have missed a few goals that Forest scored, would I. My theory is they were all in the bar rather than actually watching and they asked the cleaning lady at the end what had happened.
Also, as proof the reports have somehow got it wrong, if they really had scored 7, that would have been the worst home league defeat in the entire history of Leeds United. You are not seriously imagining that would happen in our promotion season, are you?

Every game in the Championship is winnable, every game is losable, that's what makes consistant winning runs so valuable. It wouldn't surprise me if something like Southampton away turns out to be the 'easiest' game and Forest at home turns out to be the 'hardest', that's the division. No point getting too far ahead at this moment, we're in a great position, playing well, enjoy it and see where we are after the Palace/Birmingham games.

DC Royal United, I completely agree! At this point you just need to take it one game at a time. All you need is consistency to get out of these leagues no matter what squad you have.
I think if we can win 4 of our last 6 games then we will finish in the top 2. But who knows.
