Well done Reading, you have to say all the teams around us have been helping out over the last few weeks, different results and we could be out of it by now.
Is it cos the competition is so fierce, or is it because we are all inconsistent?

Think its a bit of both really. as it stands the top 3 are going up or in the playoffs as for the rest of us it is still mathematically possible for brum to finish 13Th pool 15Th and Cardiff 16Th.
A lot of these issues will be resolved this weekend with one of the top 2 winning promotion depending on the west ham result

Funny how some feel that we have been inconsistent this season and that we don't yet know our 1st XI. Looking at our current position could it just be that the teams are all very close and yet our ability to rotate a quality squad has made the difference?
If we make the play offs then hats off to Ollie whatever happens.

I think we are starting to come good just at the right time and this year in the championship is far closer than other years for finishing 3rd to 6th. The size of squad has worked for the simple reason when anybody has been out through injury or suspension we have had somebody of equal ability to fill the void.
The one thing that i think has hurt us was the decision to cancel the reserve team football a regular weekly match might have helped keeping the players on the edge of the first team fit and match time,

I think your point about the reserve team is spot on. When they had to make the decision, which I think was last May, we only barely had a team, Ollie was not happy about having to put 1st team players in to make up the numbers, does make you wonder how planned this huge development squad was.
Hopefully, if they carry on with similar numbers, and I'm sure some of the squad are long term bets that I hope there is not a huge clear out this summer, then we will have reserves again next year.
