Good Friday’s results went in favour of the play-off chasing Blues with Monday’s opponents Bournemouth and Reading losing and Brighton and Blackburn drawing. A win at Watford tomorrow would take Town up to sixth.

The Cherries, watched by Blues boss Mick McCarthy and assistant Terry Connor, were beaten 4-2 at home by Sheffield Wednesday despite the Owls having been reduced to 10 men at 2-2.

Reading, sixth going into today’s fixtures, suffered a significant blow to their play-off hopes as they lost 3-0 at Wigan, who cemented their fifth position. The result reduced the Royals’ goal difference to +10, now only two better than Town’s.

Brighton full-back Bruno scored an 83rd minute equaliser to see the Seagulls to a 1-1 draw at Huddersfield. The Sussex side are up to sixth ahead of Reading and Town by a point with their goal difference still +12.

Tenth-placed Blackburn, already outsiders for a top six place prior to today's fixtures, drew 0-0 at home to table-proppers Yeovil.

Elsewhere, Brentford confirmed their promotion from League One to the Championship, joining Wolves.

Meanwhile, Elliott Hewitt helped his loan club Gillingham to a 2-0 home victory over Tranmere in League One.

Jack Doherty's loan club Waterford United are in action against Shamrock Rovers at home in the Airtricity League First Division this evening.

warktheline added 17:46 - Apr 18 Souperjim, that's my opinion on B'mouth and others, which I stated 2 weeks ago. I stand by the prediction, unlike many others on here who just press the minus button when proved wrong. keep pressing boys, because I'm smiling from ear to ear.

TimmyH added 18:45 - Apr 18 Tough game tomorrow, got a feeling there's going to be a lot of twists before the season is out - but glad by and large the results went for us today but they only have gone our way if we don't lose!

itfc_leggett added 18:50 - Apr 18 With these results today it's in our hand and we are surely favourites!! All we need to do is win the rest of our games and we've got it :/ COYB!! Hope the boys stand up to the pressure of knowing its in our hand.... One game at a time

Len_Brennan added 18:55 - Apr 18 Watford away is always a tough game for us & in a strange way today's results will put additional pressure on us. A win for Waford + 3 points from their game in hand would leave them very much in the mix too, so I am taking nothing for granted here. A win would be fantastic & we should definitely go for it, but a draw would be a decent result in the circumstances.

jas0999 added 19:58 - Apr 18 All results have been good ... Even Huddersfield getting a point against Brighton, particularly as we beat them comfortably. Watford won't be easy though.

afrodids added 20:23 - Apr 18 I think Brighton should be docked 3 points for wining at Leicester as it was such a bullsh*t result! Lol

mrmorisato added 20:28 - Apr 18 For me, the biggest result of the day is Burnley beating Blackpool. Don't want to tempt fate but it's all going to be pie in the sky if we lose tomorrow! I just hope we avoid defeat :)
