Will it make a difference. Oyston seems oblivious t it all and the damage he's done to the club and shows no signs of going (to an outsider at least)

There is a big court case next month where a minority shareholder (Latvian banker) is suing Oyston if he wins the Oystons will have to pay millions and hopefully be forced to sell the club.

Used to go to the match every home game, until the season where they brought in the seating rules, never bothered after that.
That written, I was there on one home game were the crowd destroyed Denis Wise, I don't remember exactly but I think he fouled a Toon player and there after he was booed every time he touched the ball, the final straw came when as one the entire ground started to sing "He's a dwarf a dwarf" to the Ka Sera Sera tune, after that he head was gone, he lasted another 5mins 10 tops, before he got subbed.

Right then, Fulham have Reading which will make life in work and at the club interesting for a while with many Reading fans at both. Think it'll be desperately close. According to the guy that delivers post to Roy Beerens, Stam has already drawn up a masterplan to beat Fulham and their playing style. Looking forward to two cagey games

Hopefully we can beat 'Uddersfield over 2 legs and turn up at the final this year.

I don't think Fulham do cagey Homer. It will be an interesting couple of games though as both teams like to keep the ball and I honestly think it is too close to call.

have either Reading or Fulham got the potential to stay up should they get there?
have both teams over achieved this term and as such flattered to deceive?
or will Huddersfield and wednesday have more chance of staying up ?
i think both games will be a tough call and wednesday will be looking to make up for last years final loss,so they will be my tip to be playing elite football next season.

The Terriers are the underdogs against Wednesday, best way to be imo.
Wednesday definitely the form side and we just don't score enough goals, so it's all to do 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐶

Personally I don't think we're good enough and if we get cherry picked and the likes of Sessignon, Cairney etc we'd really struggle. No idea how much investment the owner would put in and who we'd get in to replace these key players. I think we've over achieved already.

Huddersfield fan.
We don't have the firepower to go up unfortunately, and promotion now would be at least one season, possibly two - too early.
Fulham have battered us in both fixtures this season, but I think the club that would have the best chance of doing something in the PL next season would be Sheff Wednesday.
So I predict joy and happiness in the southern part of Gods own county in late May.

It all comes down to money, our chairman is arguably better equipped financially than any of the others, whether he chooses to spend it is another question.
You could also argue that since Fulham have been in the Premier league more recently than any of the others then we are better equipped as a club to deal with it...possibly?
Have Reading and Fulham overachieved? Really? Our midfield is arguably the best in the league and I don't think there are many if any better going forward. We need some work at the back but even that has looked a bit more solid in the last few weeks. We also need a out and out goal scorer or two but I don't think you can look at our squad on paper and say that it is over achieving.

If our takeover goes through, we may have a few bob to spend. The Chinese sister is supposedly worth £3 billion !
Good news is all our first team are Reading players, and not on loan from other clubs. We have some really good young players, current midfield three are all 21, so hopefully will improve. Biggest problem will be getting at least one decent striker, as Kermorgant is 35, and has announced he will retire at the end of next season. Pretty sure Fulham and Huddersfield are in the same boat, as their goals seem to come from midfield, with no proven striker. Wednesday have some decent Championship strikers, but not sure they are premier league quality.
We do have a very good manager, so there is a big danger he will get poached. To take a team that had been bottom half the two previous seasons, and completely change the style of play, and get us to 3rd is pretty good.
Oh and for those that keep saying Wednesday and Fulham are the form teams, we have the most points in the Championship in the last ten games. Kermorgant has scored nine in the last nine games, and will be a real threat in the play offs.

...and we are second but have the most points from the last 6. None of that really matters though. Reading, Sheff Wed and Fulham are all in great form. Huddersfield have dropped away over recent weeks but you can't rule them out. It is really anyone's to take.

I think current form is important, and I would be very surprised if Huddersfield beat Wednesday over two legs. One off game is different. Reading, Fulham and Wednesday have got 21, 20 and 19 points in last ten games, Huddersfield have 10.
Huddersfield play a high pressure game, and seem to be running out of steam ? Reading and Fulham play a possession game, which might be why they have finished strong. Wednesday probably have the strongest squad, though they don't seem to necessarily know their strongest team.
We have taken the lead in 27 games this season, and won 25 of them. We are good at managing a game when ahead, but awful at chasing a game, hence some of the big defeats. Must admit I would have preferred to play the first leg at home. Pretty sure we will play 3,5,2, as we have at last got our three main central defenders fit at the same time. They played first half at Burton, and looked solid. Think we will sit back at The Cottage, and try not to be caught on the break. Fulhams pace is a huge threat. We will try and get crosses in for Kermorgant, who is very good in the air.
We have never won a play off in five attempts, so even if we get past Fulham we will no doubt lose in the final.

And don't forget we put out a reserve team for that final day loss at home to Fulham.
