Can see a few goals in this one 3-2 win.

Our best victory of the season  4-1  Kodja hatrick and Hogan scoring  at the Holte End.

Have to say of all the teams up there such as debating whether Fulham are a decent team or not Reading to me are the team who've overachieved the most this season.

Look at the squad and it has some decent young players but their main striker is Yann Kermogrant who's about 46 now. And they have plenty of ownership issues (talk they might be denied a licence to play in the prem which I find hard to believe).

Wagner's been getting all the praise but think Jaap Stam has done a great job aswell.

Think this will be 1-1 particularly if Kodjia doesn't make it.

Steve Bruce was also querying why this game was being played on Saturday instead of Good Friday like every other championship game. Did WMP veto us playing then?

Ive been to a few games this season, in the Holte, and can't remember off hand how many we've scored in to us, not fkn many, if my memory's up to speed.
How many have we actually scored at the Holte End out of the paltry 30 we've scored?

[PeterWithesShin]

Even i'm not sad enough to the answer to that one!

I'll give you twenty minutes, but someone may beat you to it. Heaven forbid.

I remember one year under Lambert my ST was in the Lower North, I think it was around December before we scored a league goal at that end.

Maybe to keep the Church neighbours happy?  If that was the case then a Thursday night game would be better for the players.

I think that's because you sit in that moat and miss most of the goals. In the same season I saw loads of goals at that end from my seat in the Upper Witton End before December.

It's because Good Friday is always a working day in Birmingham especially in the car industry.
