Mid Sussex Royal Looking ok - bottom 4 sides still not progressing past a point a game so 10 more points may do it; the earlier predictions of 52-55 points for safety look wide of the mark now.

Their fans were not bigging themselves up at all. They were delighted and surprised to have won the game
They have endured rotten luck. Losing Sala who was their record signing was bad enough. They may well have stayed up if Sala hadn't died in that awful accident and now they are paying many millions for that transfer. A double hit.
I hope they stay up.
I’m with you Zip, if it wasn’t for bad luck they’d have no luck. I hope they stay up as long as it isn’t at our expense! I like to see all Welsh clubs do well and I’m hoping more locally Wrexham can get back in the league this year. I’m enjoying Colwyn Bay’s unbeaten league season in Cymru North at the moment,drew the first game and then have won the next 18 in a row!
With you all the way on this and as you say I want Cardiff to stay up but absolutely not at our expense.

Yep. We are not creating much at all and another run of poor results can happen again. Usually by this stage of the season you want certain teams to win or lose. I have no idea whether I wants teams in the bottom six or top six to win.
For the record Reading's next 7 games are Watford (h), Sunderland (a), Rotherham (h), Cardiff (a), Blackpool (h), Middlesbrough (a), Sheffield United (h) and after that lot we should know if the club are going to be safe or still worrying that it might go to a dodgy end to the season.
I'll predict 8pts of that lot. Wins against Rotherham and Blackpool, draws against Watford and Cardiff, defeats to Sunderland, Middlesbrough and Sheffield United.
I'd love to be more optimistic but our away form is diabolical, so unless we change things up I don't see us getting much change from those teams, could maybe sneak a win against Cardiff because they're in pretty terrible form right now.

StrandedSutekh QPR have signed free agent Chris Martin following his release by Bristol City.
Could be a decent option off the bench for them. 34 now and whilst he's appeared in 17 games, he's not started since August and on average he is only playing 15 mins per apperance since that last start.
Probably the best striking option out of the free agents but that's not saying much.

Mr Angry The Sheffield United takeover by Nigerian billionaire Dozy Mmobuosi for £90M from their current Saudi owners is an interesting story.
Firstly, £90M for a team very likely to be in the Premier League next season is a ridiculously cheap price to pay, but poor Blades are owned by the only Saudi's not worth Billions! So, a fire sale explains the cheap price; however, when people have dug into the source of the potential new owners wealth, serious questions are raised.
For the 9 months to September 2022, his main holding company, Tingo, reported net revenues of over US$800M, and on track to hit $1.2Bn; amazing numbers when in 2017, Mmobuosi was charged with issuing a dud cheque for $75,000, (it was later settled out of court) and his company (which is in telecoms) hadn't been doing any competitve activity in the sector at the time.
He also owns an Airline (Tingo Airlines) which, though valued at $1Bn, owns no planes, has no staff, has no landing slots anywhere in the World, hasn't made a single flight nor does it have an Air Operators Certificate.
The EFL decison on whether Mr Mmobuosi is allowed to purchase Sheffield United is awaited with interest.......

Stranded Huddersfield lead after some of the worst defending you'll even see.
Cardiff into the bottom 3 as it stands.
