FT: READING 2 - 1 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

[binman]

Exactly my thoughts
Home banker!!

They’ll still have more up front with Meite than we have and no doubt Hoillett will score something spectacular

I’m not being fooled by the woe betide me stuff

Nelson for Ng (unfortunately)
Ralls for Sawyers (bring him on for last 30 mins when game more stretched)
Harris for Watters - neither of them look like scoring but there’s more effort from Harris and he brings the wingers into play more - it is however a 50-50 call.
Watters always looks better coming on as a sub anyway

Meite is rumoured to be the latest injury along with our captain Andy Yiadom.

Nowt to do with the woe betide me stuff. It is self inflicted and not bad luck. I’m angry about it. It is unacceptable to have the level of injuries we currently have prior to our first home game. Even the most positive Reading fans are seriously unhappy this morning. This has been ongoing for a long time. We had the worst injury record of all 92 clubs over the past season and here we go again.

I saw Ince was questioning how some players warm up and stretch etc.

It's obviously very important but you would think at this level that sort of thing being done properly would be a given.

Yep it’s seriously unprofessional. It’s why I’m angry. It’s nit down to bad luck.

Isn't Paul Ince going to sort out all your injury problems with yoga?

Can you pull a hamstring doing yoga?

Best not try the yoga!

Maybe it's a curse. You could try the Barry Fry remedy of pissing on all four corner flags?

He has mentioned doing yoga. Thing is some of the injuries are impact during training which is just idiotic. Some are soft tissue. It’s a mix but common sense needs to be applied. In an injury crisis go to non contact training and bloody well do your stretches.

Pearcey it’s seems like we’re being lured into some hideous trap with your moaning and groaning about your concern for your club. My biggest concern is finding & getting the football bus from Reading town centre.

Stop being a whore and drive there. Park up at Mereoak park and ride and get the bus in. Easy Peasy. The Mereoak buses are running.

I haven’t forgiven you for the curse you placed on my club two years ago. You should be ashamed Splotty P.

We had loads of injuries with Warnock, I remember last year thinking how few injuries we had in comparison to previous seasons. It must be something to do with the training or fitness levels?

We don't really have many injuries now, so hopefully Morison seems to be doing things right.

[DubaiDai]

Would not start Ralls. Looked way off the pace when he came on last Saturday.
Nelson may have to start but I am worried. Don’t ask him to play out from the back as Morison is urging them to do.
I would keep Watters up front but maybe sub him for Ete at HT

I doubt Ralls will be 1st choice this season, unless as you say he gets sharper, but probably brought on for purely defending 'skills'. Nelson ?Well he can defend for sure, but shows how our squad is perhaps lacking in defensive cover.

[JumpersforGoalposts]

I'm expecting just the enforced change with Nelson most likely to come in although both he and Kipre favour the left centre back position. It will be interesting to see if that means McGuinness or Denham whether on the bench or starting.
