Reading (A) build up thread

[Jinky]

Not long until we can get back in the swing of things now. What are people's thoughts on this?

If anyone has a spare ticket, can you pop me a PM? I don't live far from Reading and have a pass for the day but (predictably) it's all sold out.

No real reason for any changes from the Fulham game bar Vinagre for the suspended Douglas.

Costa, N'Diaye, Hause, Batth, Norris, Miranda, Ronan, Gibbs-White...these are all a bit unfortunate to be on the outside looking in, but what can you do.

2016/17: W 2-0 (H), L 1-2 (A)
2015/16: W 1-0 (H), D 0-0 (A)
2014/15: L 1-2 (H), D 3-3 (A)
2008/9: L 0-3 (H), L 0-1 (A)
2005/6: L 0-2 (H), D 1-1 (A)
2004/5: W 4-1 (H), W 2-1 (A)
2002/3: L 0-1 (H), W 1-0 (A), W 2-1 (H, P/O), W 1-0 (A, P/O)
1997/8: W 3-1 (H), D 0-0 (A), L 2-4 (A, LC)

Didn't know Douglas is suspended - we'll miss his set pieces.

I think Nuno might have had one or two of the others doing a bit of practice...

 

[YoungWolf]

Looking forward to this!! I’m hoping it’s a damn sight different to the last time I went to the Madeiski.

Vinagre for Douglas. Can’t see anything else changing. Maybe Costa in but Cavaleiro doesn’t deserve to be dropped IMO

 

[Langers]

We'll need to score at least two. Dangerous will score, obviously.

FFS please don't set him off.

 

[Kenny]

If Dave scores against us we could well see the first ever non-celebration that includes tears and then a full written apology at the end of game.

Excellent gif there langers,metal warrior started it I just joined in

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Bod has been injured for a few weeks. He might make it back for Saturday though given his form after last season's lay off...

We haven't won there in over a decade, may as well hand the points over now.

 

[Kenny]

We should really give Reading a goal start as a thank you for giving us £4m for Bod and Dave.

If we adjust for inflation then we're probably about square now after Adie Williams and Langers' mate Michael Gilkes.

And that will just be Spier's reaction.

 

[Langers]

Michael Gilkes.

 

[Derby Wolf]

The hate for us on their forum is cute.

As are their predictions of a 3 goal win.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I liked Gilkes, possibly only for his performance away at Bolton, but still.

Link?

Link?

It'll be HobNob. Dreadful forum.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It'll be HobNob. Dreadful forum.

Possibly the third worst mainstream club forum, behind RAWK and OTIB.

Debatable whether square headed ex-hooligan turned dreadful author Annis Abraham's Cardiff forum counts as their main board, if it does then it's probably battling with HobNob for that bronze medal.
