With the 4 point gap to West Ham opened up and only 6 games left, it may seem that promotion is in our hands.
However, looking through our remaining 6 games, specifically our 3 away games it doesn’t get much tougher.
That’s why I feel our 3 home games will prove massive in us achieving the ultimate goal, starting with Leeds today. Leeds have not had the best of starts under Neil Warnock, but have put in great performances against the likes of Southampton and Middlesboro recently so cannot be underestimated.
Despite them having a few injuries and suspensions, they still have dangerous players in Snodgrass and McCormack who will need to be dealt with.
We should put out an unchanged line up from Saturday and our settled 11 really should come out on top today, but don’t expect it to be easy. We also have home games against Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace before the end of the season, teams who have been on decent form as of late.
The Madejski has been a happy hunting ground for us recently, with no team leaving with a result since Hull in mid January. This run will have to continue if we are to hold on to that coveted second spot, or even make a challenge for the title.
I personally cannot wait for the challenge of the run in.
