Reading game

How does everyone think we will get on?

They played well against Man Utd but I am still going for an Arsenal win.

Hopefully they play as bad as they did in the first 6 minutes for the whole game against us...

The only reason they appeared to do well was because Man Utd played so badly. On another day Man Utd would have demolished them considering the holes they were leaving.
Fair play for keeping their heads up and getting themselves back into the game, but in truth it wasn't because of their quality, it was because of Man Utd's mistakes.

I'm confident of a fairly comfortable 3 points on Saturday.

Even with all the injuries?

I'm keeping my fingers crossed. By rights we should stomp all over them, but we have underperformed against all the teams we should demolish and seemed to shine agaisnt the big boys

Any team that comes to Ashburton to attack gets beaten.Blackburn learned there lesson and put 10 men behind the ball.If Reading play like they did at home it will be an entertaining game. 3-1 to the Gooners

I'm limiting my expectation to us just having enough players to put a team out from what I've just read of our injuries and suspensions!!

True. I'm even more concerned about the small matter of the replay against Blackburn tonight. Given the traditional "warm" welcome we usually receive from teams of cloggers in the North West, I'm worried that we might end up with even more walking wounded (even without Savage in their side).

That said, surely Blackburn need to come out and attack us (in a footballing sense as opposed to the more familiar raking of studs down the Achilles sense) in front of their own fans. If they do that, and assuming they haven't ploughed the pitch in order to even up the skill levels, we should have enough to beat them with the players we've got.

Yes have to agree with you there mate. The blackburn game i think is the more important one. The Premiere League is pretty much out of our grasp, we could still come away with either FA or Champions league, as long as we still qualify for the CL next season I would mostly concentrate on them
