Here are the positions of the teams that the bottom 6 face in the run in
😬 After Wigan QPR don't face a team lower than 14th (average 9th place for final 7 games) 📈 Huddersfield & Rotherham have slightly tougher run ins 📉 Wigan have the easiest run in (only 2 top half teams)
Reading have accepted a 6 points deduction. The punishment for breaching the EFL's profitability and sustainability rules could have been upto12 points.
Reading now drop to 20th in the Championship with 40 points.
Reading happily took the 6 points deduction because they know how crap we are and still end up with more points than us
It does put them right in the mix though - they are in almost a bad a run of form as us recently. They are 6 without a win and now the pressure is on them.
Interestingly their last 2 games are against Wigan and Huddersfield which would decide things.
Clear five-horse race now...Huddersfield, Reading, Cardiff, Rotherham and...QPR...one of those 5 are going down and I can't imagine the fanbase of any of the other four are more worried than we are.
I'm so pessimistic I actually wouldn't be that surprised to see us finish below Blackpool
Ex QPR player hugill scored 2 goals I see for Rotherham
We made 2 errors in January - not getting Warnock and not signing Hugill. Hugill was a perfect alternative to Dykes and he does actually score goals a lot at this level when given a run of games.
That Rotherham result adds more pressure to this match.
