    Getting anything out of Reading is a huge ask.

    They are physically very strong, extremely well organised, will have every detail of how we play drummed in to them and will be fired up to get the three points to keep them in the auto promo places.

    Can't see us being able to cope.
    I think Sunderland and Newcastle came to the Amex with the same attributes and mentality... and oops! We can do it...!
    Do not worry about us not coping, as that we certainly will! Reading have all the attributes you mentioned, but there is no 'huge gulf' between us and them in terms of quality. Their defence is a little suspect from what I have seen, so I will be disappointed if Gus does not attack strongly from the start. We must begin with Buckley and Lua Lua to put the pressure on and I would be brave and put Adgestein up front with CMS too and see how that works. I have been very impressed with what I have seen of him and I think he deserves a chance to make an impression. Reading have will have a fairly sizeable following but their fans are more at home in the proverbial 'library' so we will be able to make it count from the stands too. Prediction 2.1 UTA!"

Results boost for Albion

Albion go into tomorrow night's home game against Reading boosted by setbacks today for some of their main play-off rivals.

Cardiff conceded a late equaliser in a 1-1 home draw with Watford, which means the sixth-placed Welshmen are only two points clear of the Seagulls.

Ten-man Blackpool came from behind to draw 1-1 with Barnsley at Bloomfield Road and stay fifth.

Middlesbrough lost to a late goal, 2-1 at Hull, to remain below the seventh-placed Seagulls on goal difference.

Leicester continued their late charge with a 2-1 victory at Ipswich to move within a point of Albion.

Gus Poyet's side will move back up into the play-offs in sixth if they win their game in hand against second-placed Reading.
