bcfc01 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Peterborough v Reading (if its not postponed) Reading will get dumped in the bottom three if they lose. Its not that Peterborough have gone on a good run themselves, just that Reading (with a decent squad) can't buy a win. They've gone on a dreadful run - last 10 games, 2 draws and 8 defeats, 7 losses on the spin, 28 conceded in that run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I think Reading with the recent return of Joao, Swift and Meite, will be too strong tonight. As much as I’d like Reading to go down, a win for a reading makes Derby’s job harder. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No result helps Derby. 5 points adrift whatever happens, but you're right that of the 3 possible results a Reading win is the worst for Derby. It's this kind of game that people that expect Derby to escape - and there seriously are people that think they are more likely to escape than not - forget about when doing the maths they do to arrive at that conclusion.

I still think it's pretty awful to concede 5 goals to those two sides over 3 games. To go on record - I fully expect us to win the final game at home v Posh, but if we play as we are then we'll conceded there as well. It is possible for it to be simultaneously good that we win these games and also bad that we conceded in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
