Weekend Predictions for the top 3

[Nigel=God-Poyet=Sod]

On Friday: Reading v Leeds (2.00pm) - Live on Sky Sports

Barnsley v West Ham (5.15pm) - Live on BBC

 

Saturday: Saints v Pompey (1.00pm)

 

Another big weekend in the Championship, where a win over Pompey would put us on the brink of promotion with over 80 points. Friday could also be defining as Reading host Leeds, knowing a win would take them top, for a day at least, and West Ham know they have to win at Barnsley.

 

I'll be glued to my TV watching both these games intently, obviously supporting the two yorkshire clubs.

 

My predictions:

Reading 2-2 Leeds

Barnsley 1-2 West Ham

Saints 3-0 Portsmouth

 

What do you guys reckon?

[Cestrian Saint]

Reading Win.

WHU Win.

Hate to say it. Saints Lose.

[Turkish]

West Ham and Reading to lose, Saints to win. FACT

[Greedyfly]

I'd take a Reading draw now. WHU will beat Barnsley as they are just awful.

 

Saints win regardless.

[Nigel=God-Poyet=Sod]

Reading Win.

WHU Win.

Hate to say it. Saints Lose.

 

At least you're optimistic....

[alpine_saint]

I'm going to go for all 3 winning too.

 

But I reckon our game is going to be as tight as a nuns chuff, especially if Rickie doesnt play.

[saints-cris]

Think the top 3 will stay the same, just 3 points richer

[Nexstar]

Reading draw

Hammers win

Saints win

[Nigel=God-Poyet=Sod]

Could it be good if he doesn't play? I think he'll play one of pompey or palace. If he doesn't make pompey, he'll probably play at palace, which is the tougher game. Would be amazing to beat pompey without him, then have him return for the next game.

The thing is, does anyone think we would win without him. He is so important for us.

[Appy]

All 3 to win.

[Thedelldays]

all 3 to win...making west hams margin for error that little bit smaller

[Window Cleaner]

Friday/Saturday Reading Draw Saints+ West Ham win

Monday/Tuesday Saints Win West Ham and Reading lose.

 

Points Table come next Tuesday evening Saints 84 Reading 77 West Ham 75

 

thus Saints one win from certain promotion and 1 win and 1 draw from absolute mathematical certainty promotion.

 

Wishful thinking huh!

[ottery st mary]

Saints win

Reading loss

West Ham loss

 

Lottery numbers are my own little secret...

[Under Weststand]

Reading will win against Leeds, I'm sure we can win over the skates

Leaving West Hoof to beat Barnsley, pressure could well leave them struggling if we've both won!

I still think all 3 to win leaving us just that little closer to promotion.

West Hoof's margin for error decreases with every single point we gain.

[Barry the Badger]

Reading will win against Leeds, I'm sure we can win over the skates

Leaving West Hoof to beat Barnsley, pressure could well leave them struggling if we've both won!

.

 

Except they play before us.

[Lighthouse]

As a neutral I'd have said a pretty clear win for all 3 teams. As a fan though you always fear your team will f**k up.

 

I think it was around this time last year Norwich had a local derby against Ipswich. They won 5-1 and got promoted.

[OttawaSaint]

Flatcaps at the ready....eeee by gum eh up yorkshire!

[Ian the Red]

On Friday Reading will draw, Saturday Saints will win 5-1, West Hoof will win

Monday we will win @ Palace, West Hoof will draw with Brum and on Tuesday the bum bandits will beat Reading.

 

So after Tuesday evening that will leave us 7 points clear of Reading, 8 points clear of West Hoof with 4 games to go. Setting up the promotion winning game against Reading.... and the title winning game against Posh.......

Fri: Reading and Wham both win.

Sat: Saints win.

Mon: Wham draw and Saints win at Palace (I know ST holder Palace fans who arent bothering even going).

Tue: Reading lose at Brighton (given my location I might get a ticket)

 

Saints 84 pts

Reading 79 pts

Wham 76 pts.

 

Then we beat Reading the following Fri and Wham beat Brighton. Wham are back in top 2 and we are more or less champions with 3 to go.

 

Saints 87pts

Wham 79 pts

Reading 79 pts
