Early pie and mash then Boleyn for a couple. Should be epic atmosphere for this, if the person behind me isn't gobbing over me with passion I'll be disappointed
Good shout, will be doing the same.

Looking forward to it, although there's a lot of confusion about where my seat is I got a seat in row Y of the TBL, same seam as I had for Middlesbrough, got to the game and someone was already in my seat, hope the same thing doesn't happen Saturday.

Anyway, 2-1 West Ham COYI!. :crest:

Taking the Mrs to the game and we have never lost when she attends!!! This is not the game to lose her 100% record. :raver:
Will be an electric atmosphere and lets hope that positivity gets through to BFS and the players.

C.O.Y.I.

I'm taking my Mrs to the game and she also has a 100% record (including a pre-Greatest Escape game in 06/07!!)

No. We need to win this. Not enough time left to be relying on others dropping points. Need to get it in our own hands.

I know one Reading fan & he is a complete lemon.

We'd better do these c****. Everyone should be properly fired up. None of this quiet ****.

I shouldn't say this but such is my contempt for these c**** I actually wish it was the 70's/80's so we could give them a dig as well.

Don't be a pussy hole Sam. Get those boys fired up.

If it was the 70s/80s you would not hate them I find it a bit strange how they seem to have grown some contempt by some of us, thats tinternet i suppose.

I was @ the away game,and McDermott tactically got it spot on,Reading basically have their forwards split right and left
then Kebe or Macanuff double up with their forwards on our full backs,that why J.O.B was sent off,he had the hump
with having 2 players bombing @ him ,their other strength is sneaking round the back door @ set pieces
Weaknesses well its Harte,he can barely muster a jog,we have to attack him,throughout the game
Come on lads believe in yourself and have a right go on Sat

Sheffield United winning tonight. Takes them into automatic spots.

Lose on Saturday and we might finally, finally get our grudge match. Perhaps some small consolation if we bottle it. :wink:

It was a long time ago now and Reading hadn't got into their stride, but funnily enough we played badly away at Reading but were headed for a bore draw until JOB lost his head. They are not that good - but they are very well organised with reasonable quality to punish us unless we take the game to them. I reckon they will defend in depth like everyone else and hope to frustrate the crowd and make our players nervous.

i assume both faye and JOB are out, so I´d go with:

--------------------------------------------Green

Faubert------------------------Tomkins-------Collins----------------Linda

-----------------------------------Noble-----------O´Neil

Vaz Te----------------------------------Nolan----------------------------Taylor

--------------------------------------------Cole

Subs: Maynard, Demel, lansbury, Collison, Baldock

1-1 or 2-1 will be the score.
