bcfc01 Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 Peterborough v Reading (if its not postponed) Reading will get dumped in the bottom three if they lose. Its not that Peterborough have gone on a good run themselves, just that Reading (with a decent squad) can't buy a win. They've gone on a dreadful run - last 10 games, 2 draws and 8 defeats, 7 losses on the spin, 28 conceded in that run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 I think Reading with the recent return of Joao, Swift and Meite, will be too strong tonight. As much as I’d like Reading to go down, a win for a reading makes Derby’s job harder. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No result helps Derby. 5 points adrift whatever happens, but you're right that of the 3 possible results a Reading win is the worst for Derby. It's this kind of game that people that expect Derby to escape - and there seriously are people that think they are more likely to escape than not - forget about when doing the maths they do to arrive at that conclusion.

I refuse to believe that the Champions League has moved beyond the mid-2000s. On the game. That is some loose defending from Reading. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy1968 Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 I want Peteborough to win, but will take a draw to stop two teams below us both not getting much closer. But if you told me we'll stay up regardless then I'm happy for Reading to win to put more pressure on Derby. I think I've got splinters somewhere ...

And the division next season would be far better with Peterborough in it rather than Reading.

And honestly a draw at the weekend would be good enough for them if they can get 3 points tonight. A draw at Derby is pretty doable IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit like a dodgy cricket pitch...........don't judge until both sides have batted on it. Same with this wind I reckon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely spot on- thought Peterborough gave it everything. Reading are so dislikable, all the diving, moaning to the ref, standing in front of the ball, really hope they go down. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
