If only we could discuss poaching the manager of every team we play against between now and season's end, we could repeat our comfortable victory over Preston time and again. Sadly, it's unlikely to be that easy as we head into the traditional Championship Easter double-header with Hull at home on Good Friday, and a trip to Reading on Easter Monday.
Irrespective of other results, two wins would mathematically seal our place in the playoffs, but the points aren't likely to come easy. Hull still have an outside chance of making the post-season party themselves, and will be looking for a scalp on Friday afternoon; Reading are battling relegation, with an equal need and desire for points, and the added comfort of knowing that we've never beaten them at the Madejski Stadium. There's never been a better time to put that miserable record to bed: in the absence of a new manager, the very least we need is momentum in these coming weeks.
