The boy Farke comes up short. Strong quartet in the play-offs. At least we all know not to book a holiday at the end of May. 😀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Angry 1,554 Posted October 30, 2020 Not a very realistic forecast in my view-86 points to win the Championship would be the lowest total since at least 2010/11-and at least 7 points less than the winning total in 6 of those last 10 seasons. And 79 points for 2nd? That total would only be good enough for 5th place at best in 8 of the last 10seasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It does happen that way though when you've got a compact league with no dominant team, and that may well be the case this season. I can't see Reading keeping up this pace and teams like Watford, Bournemouth, Brentford and ourselves don't look like teams that could run away with the league (yet).

That’s true but i think it’s too early to say that is what will happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,813 Posted October 30, 2020 Just now, Mr Angry said: That’s true but i think it’s too early to say that is what will happen. I agree. But I think at this stage it looks more likely that we'll end up with one of those seasons where a team could grab second with 80 and one goes down with 50 instead of one where a team misses out on automatic with 90 and someone stays up with 45.

Looks like Kenny Mclean is going to get a long run in the team and Todd and Emi are off in January then? 🤔🤣 What's the point in carrying on, club's a joke.
