Can anyone make a case for reading ?

[Fulham traveller]

Seriously they have not scored an away goal in 5 games, there defence as gone back to the stam days, the new manager bounce was short lived, they don’t like playing the more physical teams, when the fist goal goes in they will fall apart, I am going for a 3-0 Cardiff win, could nit think of a better team to play in tne last game, anyone disagree with me

You’ve well and truly put the mockers on that now.

[Pearcey3]

No. We have six or seven players who should be dropped but there is no one better to replace them. We are unfit both physically and mentally. We should be going down but somehow it looks like we will stay up.

I think if we had a pick of a team to play reading at home would probably be most people's choice along with maybe Sunderland

At least Sunderland gave it a go, I can’t see reading put up a fight, because they have not got it in them, they are the biscuitmen, soft in the middle, and all over

I hope you're right, if we do go up I and I'm sure majority on here will be hoping Fulham win the play offs

Thanks I am hoping so, but play offs are the play offs

[Harry Monk]

To be fair, if we go up I won't be giving 2 shits about who wins the play offs.

I love the playoffs when you've already gone up automatically.

We may be crap right now but have been one of the best teams in the Championship during this Century.

The Reading side that won the 05/06 Championship are by far the best team we've played in the years we've been in it.

The tempo that team played with was unbelivable & I think still hold the points record. Every goal kick, free kick, throw was taken instantly and the ball moved before the defence was ready. We got thrashed 5-1 there & 2-5 at home.

Yep. I’ve seen some pundits say this current Wolves is the best ever Championship team. Well apart from winning less points than our 2005/6 side, scoring less goals, conceding more and losing more than that Reading side they may have a point!

Best ball boys I've ever seen the multi ball system they had was ridiculous

What happened to a side that made it too the play off final last year , only to be felled by the mighty Terriers.

Lots of things. We lost Danny Williams from our central midfield and haven’t replaced him. We have had a constant injury crisis that begun preseason.
As for the preseason it was hopeless. We have an unfit squad which is why we concede so many late goals.
Kermorgant missed much of the season so our main goal scorer has been absent.
Our summer signings have been poor especially Sone Aluko who has been a massive disappointment.

We were also sussed out. Teams knew if they played a high pressing game we would lose the ball and that’s exactly what has happened.
Slow, predictable and unfit.

Hi Pearcey - how can a team be unfit in the last week of season?

[billy.ronson]

This is the Championship! That should be enough justification for anyone after all the last time Fulham lost was at Sunderland!
I think we will do it Sunday and clinch second place but that wasn’t the question !

[Pearcey3]

Hi Pearcey - how can a team be unfit in the last week of season?

I think the players were used to playing a slow tempo passing game where we had loads of possession but did very little with it. We were unfit during this time and regularly conceded late goals. The unfitness was there but not glaringly obvious. Our style has changed. We now often have less of the ball than our opponents and are doing more chasing. The players are not used to it. They have looked out on their feet at the end of matches.

[Wolff]

Sounds like Russel Slade is your manager..

[Croesy Blue]

Yes there are some really good books out there

Reading had the better chances before Ipswich scored their first. They're more than capable. We need to treat them with the utmost respect. Its all on the first goal. If we get they'll collapse.

I'm sure Neil will drill the players appropriately

We pressed you high at your place and you cut right through us time after time.

Yea it's the Championship.

This isn't the Fulham board, we wont all be wanking ourselves off about how amazing the team is in a hurry. We fully well know Reading are capable, as will the playing and coaching staff.

Has to be treated as a cup final because in many ways it's exactly that.
