    Suggestions around 2,200 sold ahead of the game.

    Tickets were £10. Pay on the gate tomorrow but tickets will be more expensive (I think Reading are charging £15 if purchased tomorrow)

    Has nobody told Harris what happened last time we went to the Madejski? Bacuna got ripped apart at right back

    We have 3 right backs at the club and we stick a midfielder there instead, what a confidence booster!

    Reading have made 11 changes from their last league game and name a bench with an average age under 20.

    Exactly , he has been solid in midfield this season, but when played at right back we get hammered. Last time he played there was QPR.
    I am surprised Etheridge is not playing, he must be being protected in case of a possible transfer? We have games on Tuesday and Friday, perhaps that's why Richards is not playing, Peltier must be injured. No Bogle on the bench either.

    Us going 1-0 up was obviously a temporary aberration.

    Patersons touch stinks.

    Also, Whyte breaks there but not one midfielder runs beyond him..got to have midfield runners

    They just announced about racist chanting from our fans. I wonder what that’s about?

    They mentioned homophobic as well, think it’s a generic script if they think something has been said. City fans not happy with it and you could hear a reaction.

    I'd imagine the anti-English stuff

    The Reading fans responded to the racist chanting announcement with "You know what you are, sheep shagging bastards, you know what you are", does that not count?
