Reading Match Thread

[LoftusRoadLad]

“We’ve done a good job until now but, like I said, I think we still have 10 or 15 percent extra to give. What I mean is - we’re not playing to our best but we’re still winning games of football.

“That’s what the best teams do. If they don’t play their best, they keep on winning and that is what we have to do.

“But I think we’re on the right track. We’re unbeaten in five now and we’ll try to keep building momentum with three more points on Saturday.”

Johansen’s late, late leveller completed the comeback when Rangers came from two goals behind to draw 3-3 at Reading earlier in the campaign.

“Reading is another massive game for us,” he added.

“I think we owe them one for the away game. That was frustrating for us, it always is when you underperform as a team.

“So I think we’ll be very motivated to win the game on Saturday.”

Gotta win this , looking forward to it . Don't like the fakes or their fans

MW says in his pre match interview that he has “all “19 players are available to select from to face Reading,good news that McCalum could be set to play some part.

With “all”19 available and Dieng ,Chair and Gray away on international duty this indicates that MW openly admits that the squad size currently stands at only 22 players.

I think a lot of clubs operate with a 22 player squad due to the cost. I think 25 is the likely to be the max and gives a little wiggle room for injuries and suspensions.

I dont see a huge problem with a 22 squad if our recruitment involves selecting players who can play in multiple positions.

With a number of players already in that 22 squad with a poor injury record don’t you think it looks quite a gamble Sheep ?

Yes, it is......but if we can sell a few players for decent money in the summer perhaps we can afford a squad with more depth to it without impacting the quality of the first eleven. But I doubt we can afford that right now so it's probably one of necessity rather than choice.

Perhaps.......?

my first game since Barnsley last season Let's hope for a better outcome urrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr's

I never expect much from this fixture tbh and they also have their main goal scorer back. They have a habit of 'stealing' points off us, but this is the Championship so you never really know what to expect (apart from us losing against Fulham and at Nottingham Forest or tempting fate, at Blackburn).

No Field mate? I think he offers us a great deal more in that CDMF role than Amos tbh. Been one of our best players too in recent games.

Austin off the bench for let 25/30 if needed

You never know in the championship but i feel we are due a good performance at least. The Swansea game was sh 1te and they all know it.

Was going to put Field in he’s been very good last few games maybe Amos gives us a little bit more in going forward, would really like to see us go for it , so either of the 2 would be good , but really think we need to start 2 up front show some intent

I would pick Field because we will need someone to break up their play and we may need to find a way to include Sanderson to add a bit of pace to our defence.
