The Royals travel to Derby County to end this Championship season, limping to the end of a painful and less-than-successful season that, other than a FA Cup run, has been a disappointment to all concerned with Reading Football Club. The Royals face a Derby club that is striving to hang on to a top-six spot, holding a two point lead (and a substantial goal differential advantage) over both Wolves and Brentford. While a draw will see Derby County into the play-offs, no doubt they will pursue the full 3 points from this match to move forward with momentum. How do you predict this match will end?

Points System (the Gold Match values shown)

20 points - correct result e.g. you predict Reading 3-1 Wolves and the result is Reading 3-1 Wolves
16 points - correct draw e.g. you predict Reading 1-1 Wolves and the result is Reading 2-2 Wolves
14 points - correct outcome with correct goal difference e.g. you predict Reading 1-0 Wolves and the result is Reading 2-1 Wolves
10 points - correct outcome with incorrect goal difference e.g. you predict Reading 3-1 Wolves and the result is Reading 1-0 Wolves
2 point - if you get the prediction completely wrong, you still get one point for taking part!

Bonus Points

You get bonus points for three things:

4 points - correct half-time score
10 points - correct goalscorer (NOTE: this season you get points for correctly predicting the goalscorers of both Reading AND their opposition. You only get the points if the team score the same amount of goals as you predicted or more. This prevents prediction of ridiculous scorelines for more points.)
10 points - correctly predicting the 'bonus question'.

Please put the score in this format:

Reading 3-2 Wolves (HT: 1-0)
Hector
Taylor
Murray
Henry
Evans

...followed by your answer to the 'bonus question'...

Match bonus question is: what will be the total number of shots by both clubs in this match, according to the final BBC stats? Credit will be given for answers not more than 3 away from the sum of the totals as posted by the BBC.

Good luck with your predictions, and very good luck to the Royals! :thumbsup: :scarf:

Presumably 41 shots for Reading, (with 41 being off-target)? ;)
