Nine point deduction imminent for Reading.
Only need one more club to get one and we could stay up by default.![]()
Party pooper!That’s assuming Derby and Reading won’t make up the points difference by May… Only takes 3-4 wins based on the points deduction for each.

Yeah that is the only problem and a distinct possibility
If Reading get a 9 points deduction, they’ll still only be four points below us. If Derby get 12, they’ll be 7 points below us. It’s not impossible for them to catch up to us at least by Christmas given our current form.
Derby are looking at a combined 21 point deduction, so give it til Easter !
I’ll be shocked if it’s 21.

12+9=21
Nothing shocking there.
They have already agreed to it.Clever, but given the EFL has pussyfooted around them by negotiating with them regarding their punishment, I just don’t see them getting that many.

It would. Means Peterboro and Blackpool who we stuffed last season did better than us.It would be hugely embarrassing if we didn't survive after two of our enemies were deducted such points.
