    Reading or Brighton?

    Except for a freak set of results in Blackburn's favour, it's between these two to win the rights to host us in the first leg of the play off semi final.

    Who would you rather face? Who do you think we would have the best chance against.

    Personally, I'm not afraid of either of these sides but given the choice, I'd rather play Reading. I feel Brighton are on better form and Reading look a bit up and down. Plus we've not beaten them this season and hopefully we will have the chance to register 2 wins.

    I've checked out Brighton's performance stats this season and they are a very similar side to us on a number of indicators (high pass completion rate, high shots rate, etc). I think they could actually match us in a one-off game so I'd prefer Reading who are an altogether different kettle of fish.
    The irony is that Red Dogs can do us a big favour on Saturday but not losing to Brighton...
    so Brighton it is then

    they are both equidistant for me, but both a huge trek from station to ground. Still I probably wont be able to get a ticket anyway - plus ca change...

    It would have to be a freak set of results for Blackburn to make it but, don't rule out Wigan. Neither Blackburn to beat Wigan and Reading to beat Burnley would be freak results which would see Reading 5th and Wigan 6th.

    I'm hoping it will be Brighton, hope it's not Wigan and expect it to be Reading.
