So, How do we beat Reading

[dembethewarrior]

Is this bonus confirmed? Or just hot air?

It was in all the newspapers in February. I presume it's true.

If we don't go up it could be useful stadium cladding for next season though!

I remember reading it all yeah, just wasn't sure if it was crap.

I don’t care what the table says. Anyone can beat anyone in this league. Form doesn’t matter.

We need to win simple as that and Reading need the draw. I feel they will time waste from the first second so we need to go at them straight away.

Reading have some decent wingers. Both Aluko and Barrow will be able to cause us problems. As they’re quite quick I wouldn’t be surprised to see Manga benched again.

Chris Martin will be a handful if there’s only a 1 goal deficit.

We need to dominate the midfield. Their full backs seem exploitable.

My team

Etheridge
Pelts-Bamba-Morrison-Bennett
Patterson-Grujic (assuming Gunnar injured)
NML-Ralls-Hoilett
Zohore

With Grujic in the team although he’s a good player he can’t play the 90 minutes as he’s a loose cannon and is usually booked in the first half and then gets away with further fouls until he’s hooked

I think the key to beating Reading is that we won't have a game for a full week. Rest up, trust in Warnock and let's have 95 mins of intensity, the kind that Reading won't be able to live with.

I agree with Shitpeas.

This is the championship. Apparently Fulham are the best team in the world right now, but they were two bad refereeing decisions away from losing to relegated Sunderland on Friday. We really should win. In our run-in, this is probably our easiest game. Hell in our season, this is probably the easiest game (except Leeds). But while we should win, we haven't yet.

Didn't we beat Reading 3-0 at home once, when we were already down and they needed a point? Or was it Bristol Rovers?

I remember us beating Rovers last game of the season, not sure of the score. They had been top but fell away and missed out on play-offs due to that defeat. Think Holloway was manager then?

Looking through readings results there seem to have been quite a high number of games where someone has been sent off. I think 8 in total. 4 for the opposition and 4 for them. Not sure whether there's something about the way they play that would encourage this?

[Bobby Dandruff]

I wish we could've played our last game of the season during that eight-game winning streak.

But that is like saying, 'I wish the season was only 5 games long as then we would have been promoted'!

Think it was 4-1

May 2000. 1-0 win at home to deny them a playoff place even though we'd already been relegated. Can't think for the life of me who scored.

[kendoddsdadsdogsdead]

Definitely. It wasn’t such a high pressure match for both you’d expect us to beat Reading in the normal way.

A few positives even if we go bottle it

Less Sunday kick offs
More games to attend with season ticket
Easy points against Bristol

..and Dirty Leeds

Kick the ducking ball, into their ducking net , more than they do ,simples .

Yeah, that was it. Somehow in my mind that had turned into a 3-0 win against reading. God my memory is shite. And I’m always sober at football matches so can’t even blame the booze

[billy.ronson]

Go out and play to our strengths and take our chances if we don’t win then we gave our best ...no regrets!!
