Reading Match Thread

Think Ojaria is available for first time this season too. Basically, we will be facing a "proper" Reading, not the transitional Reading that's played opening games of season.

I expect a tight game with a disappointing result.

It’s been a while! I can’t wait for tomorrow. A lot of excitement since the transfer window has closed. Reading will be a tough game however I think we could nick it 2-1 if not 1-1. I think he will go unchanged from the coventry game however I would really like to see Gray and Austin up top together.

For me this next run of games will tell me if we really are promotion chasing contenders or, like I predicted at the start of the season, we are a top half team pushing for play offs. I am so happy with the unbeaten start but this next run of games will be tough…Bournemouth and West Brom away, but if we can go toe to toe with these 2 teams and pick up some points I might start dreaming.

Credit to the club, they’ve always tried doing their best for us even through the most difficult times and the squad they have assembled this season is the best we’ve had in a good few years. It’s going to be full on, game after game for the next 22 days and one of the most testing periods of this campaign but I know we will give it our all and the boys will do us proud.

COME
ON

We will be playing a Reading team still missing 4/5 first team regulars plus possibly 3 who hardly played a game this and last season. If we can just sort out our first half woes we should, in reality, be giving them a bit of a hiding.

We had a strong finish last season, a Strong start this season and have made some positive adjustments to the squad, me thinks a good day is on the way.

YOU Rrrrs

Hoping we have too much for them our away form is very good I think willock will be the key , Dom ball to get in a few faces and let Stefan do his stuff.

fancy us to get a win but plastic hoops always turn up against us won’t be easy 2-1 Dickie willock to do damage

To be honest its not about their team, its about our long history of ballsing up games when there is an unusually large and expectant following of Rs fans in attendance. I totally agree that, on paper, we should be giving them a right pasting but I've been kicked in teeth too many times over 45ish years in these sort of games I'm afraid. Makes me feel twitchy!

Good organisation from the start will be paramount today, I feel.

Yes. Given they have many new faces in their team it will be very ropey if we aren't more organised and cohesive than them during opening period - you'd think this was perfect game for us to be on the front foot from the get-go for a change.

Hoilett played lots of minutes for Canada in this past 3 match window, I know many on here don't like him, he was veery good in the matches he played but I expect the most we see of him is as perhaps a late sub!

Can’t see him doing much for them, didn’t do a great deal in our hoops shirt bar 1 tackle at Wembley and a crap cross that keogh laid of for Zamora!
