Maybe that's a bit hopeful, but in any case the result was all important tonight - and what's more we created plenty of chances. It's given us hope that we can go into the play offs in pretty good shape.

Royals find some form to confirm play-off place
Reading got the three points they needed to make the play-offs and a timely boost to confidence with an impressive 2-0 win against Derby County. Dave Kitson and Shane Long were on the score sheet in front of over 31,000 at Pride Park. The Royals had the ball in the back of the net three times in the first half, but all were ruled out for offside. In the second half Jimmy Kebe crossed for Kitson to head home, then Shane Long added a second shortly after which enabled the Royals to calmly play out the last 20 minutes. Astonishingly automatic promotion is still possible. Cardiff were held at Charlton so we would need Bongo to lose on Saturday (against play-off chasers Preston) and Sheffield United to fail to beat the other play-off hopefuls Swansea City.

Part 1 of the equation is complete. Fingers crossed for part 2 tomorrow night and if that comes off (with a win), then what a great finale we will have next Sunday - beat Brum and Sheffield Utd drop a point against their old gaffer Colin, and hey presto, the deal is done. It's still fairytale stuff, but here's hoping....
The dream is still alive....let's support Colin (for the first time ever!!!). Great performance tonight - finally we have a man in the box in the shape of Shane Long and to be honest Kebe looks far more at home on the left than he did on the right - two great crosses for the goals tonight. Come on URz!!!!!
