Junior Toilet more like. Cue him getting a debut hattrick now

More like run over by Dabo the tank engine 3 times….at least

31 ? Hardly junior anymore.

Looks to have filled out a bit now.

 

[Irish Sky Blue]

I would be gobsmacked and more than a little puzzled if MR did not stick with the starting line up from Blackpool. It was not just the win, but the manner of it. Having one of his lesser players - Allen - perform so well was a real bonus.

I hope there has been lots of training on the back 3.

Not sure DaCosta should even be on the bench.

I will be really disappointed if we don't win this. Before the season, pundits were pointing out how poor Reading's form was in the second half of last season - almost relegation standard. Some tipped them for the drop this year. And as has been pointed out above, they are missing key players.

A scraped victory by a single goal is not good enough.

I'd be happy with a scraped victory by a single goal.

Not sure why Reading signed him. Potty decision if you ask me.

 

[Evo1883]

Looking at the seating , I reckon we are as of right now about 1500 down on home fans compared to v forest .

May well be a few Pay on the day tomorrow.

I'm hopeful for roughly 17500 attendance now In all honesty

I'm kind of hoping reading bring 1000 as it's not fucking far

Take that all day you can imagine it’s gonna be higher than Forest in that case as walk up Surley is more than 1500

 

[Evo1883]

Any idea how many boring have sold ?

Any idea how many boring have sold ?

Is that corporate or the main stand?

 

[skybluesam66]

16000 expected per club email

 

[Speedie's Head]

I think Reading will struggle this season. I'm going 4-1, Mickey Mouse hat trick and CoH

Who is mickey mouse? Viktor?

 

[procdoc]

Moore
Hyam Fadz JCS
Dabo Sheaf Hamer Maatsen
O’Hare
Waghorn Gyo

Got a feeling Robins will go back to two up front

 

[Speedie's Head]

Who is mickey mouse? Viktor?

It was a friendly twist on the way commentators can't pronouce his name. I got MM from Joke Ears

 

[Speedie's Head]

Then we could have the Mickey Mouse March for a song... I'll get my coat

 

[oakey]

Thunderstorms forecast. Very heavy rain. Be prepared. No golfing umbrellas allowed. Wear a mac 🌨

 

[CanadianCCFC]

When did I say it wasn't attacking good grief lol we opened them up like a can of beans just think playing 2 up top allows to be more direct that all.... PUSB

But that’s not really this team at its best imo

Wow a couple weeks ago it was doom and gloom on this forum, we were destined for a relegation scrap. Now winning a league game1-0 wouldn’t be good enough?

3000 fewer away fans than forest

 

[Disgruntled Sky Blue]

Hoping for a Blackpool performance and my blood pressure doesn't lose it!

Same line up 2:1 Sheaf and Dabo (not an own goal hopefully!)

 

[Evo1883]

So looking at the seating .. yea I'm confident the attendance will be 17000 with walk up

 

[Skyblueweeman]

And

That, is f¥€%!×g dreadful.

 

[donald_trumps]

That, is f¥€%!×g dreadful.

One of the worst football songs and videos I have ever seen and heard. Absolutely rotten.

 

[Paxman II]

This game is our toughest yet imo. Reading unlike us do find the net but their defensive frailties are their achilles heel. I think a draw may be on the cards but surely if we continue to play as we did at Blackpool first 45, then we should secure our 9th point.
Salter-Clarke not at the races for me and Rose the only starting change.

Based on this and the fact Reading are bringing little more than 900, it's definitely going to be below 15k.

We'd need to sell a sizeable amount on the gate for that.

You could probably retire if you bet on those scorers and it came in!

 

[Evo1883]

Not sure , there are around by the looks of it around 1500 less tickets sold in the home end by looking at the seats compared to before forest .

That's 15500 home fans plus around 900 reading I reckon ATM .

There will be some walk up

 

[Grendel]

Reading are such an insipid pointless club

Considering the distance around 900 followers is dire on a saturday afternoon

they just don’t seem to have any heritage or identity- they are responsible for the most annoying night of supporting the team - the Simod borefest
