So how many points do you think we will manage against those teams ? Hopefully 5 or 6 . Draw against reading and Cardiff who are both doing well at the moment and a win against coventry.

No way will we beat Reading on Tuesday. They are playing so well. We should stand a good chance against the other two though.

Reading are riding the crest of a wave at the moment, and everything is falling for them, they are'nt a good team.

We'll beat them on Tuesday, I'm quietly confident.

......well our unbeaten run came to an abrupt end last season didnt it with three back to back losses...Wtaford, QPR, & Wigan....so a "run" HAS to end sometime for any club...Reading are perhaps just about ready for a fall - why not @ Portman Road Tuesday night !!
