Septic Peg Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 So this popped up on the old Twitter TL yesterday... Scary stuff eh? No. It's a parody account as can be seen in some of the replies made to it. That or it's an account ran by 13 year olds. But it got me thinking. Ask any opposition fan and most will agree. Most Reading fans are quiet. Anyone who's ever experienced the Madejski will tell you it's boring, soulless, a bowl, no atmosphere, sterile etc. The stadium is a good distance (probably deliberately) from the town centre (2 miles) so again, a good following on the piss prior means you've sobered up by the time you've walked it. Reading are a stuck in the mud Champ team and occasionally get maybe a play off spot and a year in the PL or drift towards the bottom of the Champ. There is little to be excited about when you think of them. They are the Everton of the Championship. So why on earth are coach loads of City fans making that trip up the M4 as I type? Reading (A) is probably one of the most desired fixtures on the list for us. It's been sold out for ages and OTIB, FB and Twitter are littered with pleas for spares. Simply put, aside from the Brum clubs, Reading is our closest away day. Even Swansea (A) would take longer. So naturally, our fans will make that journey and be home in time for MOTD. On to today... City's sloppy seconds (technically thirds but whatever...) Sam Baldock will probably play but will make way sometime in the second half for Reading bad boy Mo Barrow who is back from suspension. This has a boring draw written all over it. Either 1-1 or 2-2. I can't decide. Safe travels to all on the M4 today. COYR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogkev Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 Peg, a 2-2 draw doesn't sound boring to me! I can see City grabbing a 2-1 win, Taylor with a late winner. Come on You Redsssssssssssss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 Mo Barrow sounds like the less successful sibling of an Olympic standard long distance runner who happens to run a garden centre rather than engage with the world of athletics.

Lack of Action Man Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 We must utilise Matty Taylor. I'll go for a 2-1 away win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EstoniaTallinnRed Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 Afternoon all from a rainy Tallinn, I hope we go for a win, but somehow feel that a draw is on the cards, as OBJ said, we must start with Matty if we want to get anything from this game. A 1 - 1 draw for me, but hey who knows, if we can actually play well in the first half as well as the second, then we could snatch a win.

Jerseybean Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 If we play for 90 minutes as we did for the second half v Stoke we will win otherwise fancy it will be 1-1. So as usual these days it depends which City team turns up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see Walsh and Taylor included, but personally I would have done that after Hull to face Stoke, and I’m not just saying that after the loss. We shall see this afternoon.
