Septic Peg Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Argh. I forgot. Again. Bad Peg. Short and sweet today, and the question on everyone's lips is Club v Country? Nagy has been floating around the team for the past few matches, the same for Bailey Wright. I can see both of these two playing for their respective countries, especially Nagy but the key one here is Kalas. I'm not even sure if he is back training yet but to be thrown into the international side with low match fitness and minimal training is not a good look for the Czech side. If he does travel, I'll bet my ass, he'll be on the bench for most of the two games. Also good news for stalwart Ashley Williams and upcoming Joe Morell both being picked by Giggs to play for the welsh. Can they only be picked if they have a club then because iirc, Ashley wasn't selected during the last international break... is this some Fifa rule? Today, and I'm smelling a win. Reading escaped relegation last year by the skin of their teeth and I'm still backing them to go down. 2-0 win with Weimann getting both. Safe travels to all on the M4 today. COYRS!

Nathandao Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 I have an optimistic driver for the journey from the other side of Reading who predicts a 4-1 victory today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Weirdly, if we win it'll secure a very good start to the season, but if we draw or lose, one could argue that we've not kicked on from last season (only 4 wins from 11 games and back in 9th or thereabouts). Must be a win. Reading in dreadful form, missing a key player. Win win win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Think LJ may go with something like this: Bentley Hunt Williams Baker Rowe Brownhill Massengo Weimann. O'Dowda. Eliasson Diedhiou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadredfred Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Think it’ll be tough today. For all the talk about them being awful, they held Swansea away to a 1-1, despite conceding after 3 mins. Other recent losses to Boro and Blackburn have been by a single goal and they’ve been right in it. With only a few days turnaround, we’ll need to be at the races today. That said, I hope we have the quality needed for the 3 points which would for me, be a very solid start to the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afternoon all, just got back from a fishing festival at our local lake, they hold it every year on the first Saturday in October. Unfortunately not many caught while I was there, it was raining, but now the sun has come out and only 5 C, Winter is on the way. Surely City must win this afternoon, however, don't we seem to struggle against out of form teams at home. . let's hope they can buck the trend and secure a good win to keep us in the top area of the table.

ashton_fan Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Our only home win was when Nagy was playing, as well as a brilliant midfield display he netted the first goal then was crocked by half time. Once we get him back our home form will improve, hopefully he'll be on the bench today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winsaw Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Reading can't defend this year go two up top and attack then hard from the off, sure they will crumble under pressure, nothing less than 3 points excitable today, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Similar side to what I said. I expect 3 behind Fam interchange. Weimann, Eliasson and O'Dowda all finding themselves right, left or central behind Fam. Looking forward to seeing Pereira. Looks very tall, quick and skillful. Could even be an upgrade on Hunt by end of season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
