Reading Match Thread

[LoftusRoadLad]

AFTER ten long, testing months, supporters will finally begin to return to Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium when QPR host Reading on Saturday (3pm GMT kick-off).

Fans have not been inside our famous home since a 2-2 draw against Birmingham at the end of February 2019 and we are delighted that 2,000 supporters will be in attendance at the weekend.

Two thousand is, of course, only a start in terms of the number of fans allowed in and it is hoped that those figures will increase as the weeks and months go on.

All fans coming to the game should click here and read the information within the link carefully.

Returning to on-the-pitch matters, those attending will be hoping to see a win on their return to W12 and, in Reading, Rangers will face a team who have enjoyed a strong start to the season.

The Royals are fifth in the Sky Bet Championship table but tasted defeat against Birmingham City in their last game.

Despite fans now beginning to return to stadiums, there is no change to the club’s live streaming service at present. Saturday’s game is available to watch worldwide and fans all over the world will be able to watch every kick live on QPR+

Head to head

QPR wins: 31

Draws: 24

Reading wins: 40

3-2 us

I’d be tempted to go 3 x Centre Halves and play BOS n Willock wingbacks. Ball and Bettache holding. Chair playing Central, behind 2 strikers...YES TWO up front! Meaning no room for Kane, Kakay, Haameleinen, Carroll and Cameron...who are simply not good enough

That would be bold and interesting, but it’s not going to happen unfortunately. MW will no doubt stick to as close to the side for Millwall and as Huddersfield etc.
We have struggled for goals in most matches because he favours his one centre forward formation. Dykes needs proper support up front and I would like to see Kelman get a chance. We can win the match if we attack them from the start.

This will be our hardest game in a while sit back and we will get stuffed , 2 up front and attack them

[bushkangaroo]

We'll either win 3-2 or 4-2, or they will win 3-1 or 4-1. Think there will be plenty of goals and we'll concede at least 2.

Apparently Reading's top 2 goalscorers are probably out injured today. Also Stoke's top scorer will be missing on Tuesday. Seems a good opportunity. But maybe not. Our defence would struggle against the dog and duck pub attack.

Yay, a topic on a football website on football

How refreshing!

I’d like us to play how we did v Brentford if not we’re in for another borefest

0-1 reading we look toothless upfront

Cameron over Ball? This is all about MW’s “stubbornness of age”. He refuses to see Cameron has lost his ability to affect a game (other than negatively).

With that one exception, a worthy starting lineup.

I agree, Ball has been playing quite well and Cameron is not a 90 minute player any more, that is the problem when you choose a player like that as Captain, you are almost compelled to start him!

[Hope & Faith]

Probably our best side currently

I would love to see Kelman given more than just a few minutes.
