I feel sorry for their fans and such, but our attitude towards them should be like the attitude Ipswich had towards us at Portman Road the last two seasons.4
-
Not so confident of a big win. I am going 1-0 or 2-1.0

We should approach this like we should every game. A level playing field where we need to go about our business as though our opponent is top end of the table and we need to be at our best.
No more being complacent about our opponents. I think Appleton would be approaching games in this way.2 -
Same team and formation as the preview, continue with the 4231/442 with May in the 10/ supporting striker role. Its working well and enables us to get our best players in their natural positions and roles.
2-0

Probably end up with a right old struggle,2-1.1

I was in the anti-appleton brigade but week by week he continues to impress me, finally someone at the helm who steadys the ship.clive said:4 -
Yes I read that too but I think it was in the I. We should have a bit of sympathy for their fans given the shocking mismanagement of their club since the departure of Sir John Madejski in 2012. Reading fans are planning a big protest in the town next Saturday before their home game and I wish them well with it.pettgra said:There was an article in the Independent yesterday re Readings woes. The owner wants approx £75m for the club with no credible offers. If they go behind I expect their fans to make their feelings known.
Having said all that, I hope we beat them of course and stop conceding two or more goals at home.
2-1

I can see them parking the bus and looking for mistakes/loose passes (which we are always capable of). And a bit concerned about knibbs and a returning Sam Smith.0

It should be a comfortable home win, but probably won't be! However, I still think we should have enough to beat Reading, so predicting a 3-1 home win.
The starting line up is starting to pick itself (which is good). However, I would rather see Nathan Asiimwe starting than T Watson (who only seems marginally better than Sean Clare), and perhaps Fraser starting in place of Louie Watson (even though he has been excellent). It is great having options from the bench, something we have been lacking for a long time.0 -
Ah yes it was the “I”. Getting sick of all these chancers in football.grumpyaddick said:

My earliest memory of playing Reading is on a warm and sunny autumn day (around this time of the season) early 90s.... Mark Robson scoring a bullet header from a corner as the smallest man on the pitch.0
-
probably not my earliest but a big memory of reading in the 90's was Trevor Morley getting dogs abuse for, well, you knowDamoNorthStand said:My earliest memory of playing Reading is on a warm and sunny autumn day (around this time of the season) early 90s....

Seem to recall that at one of the more recent matches we played them at the Majeski, their "faithful" bombarded us with gleeful chants about our so called demise since the Prem days.seth plum said:I feel sorry for their fans and such, but our attitude towards them should be like the attitude Ipswich had towards us at Portman Road the last two seasons.

According to the records that I am looking at the last 9 nine league away games have all ended in defeat..Solidgone said:Reading lost 5 aways on the spin…I’m sure we will stop that run. Merry Christmas Reading 🎅🏿
Have to go back to 1st April 2023 Bristol City away for last away point, and November 2022 for last away league victory against Hull City.0 -
It said that we had met 66 times they have won 17 we have won 15 and 11 draws, so does that mean there have been 23 abandoned matches then.
or are they just poor t maths.1 -
Throw pigs on the pitch 20 times and taxi’s 3 times.0
-
Charlton go behind ( as usual ) before CBT and Chuks score to clinch the 3 points.0
-
Nice to see a lot of positivity as usual from some on here
Got to fancy us at home at the moment, going for a 3-1 win!
COYR!!!!0 -
If Reading don't beat us or Shrews they will not have won away for a whole year!0

Reading a really poor team away from home and we are strong going forward.
If we start strong I think we’ll prove to be too much for them.
Wouldn’t be shocked to see Ness in the team and Camara in the squad. However, if Jones is fit, Ness will be on the bench.
Charlton Athletic 3-0 Reading

Away table so far this season, and with us being the league top scorers at home, it should be a comfortable win. Will go for 3-1 as can’t see us keeping a clean sheet.1 -
Any danger of waterlogged pitch?
Think I'm being influenced by living somewhere that had constant rain all day today0 -
Reading are there for the taking. 6 consecutive away defeats going to the top home scorers in the division.5-1. CBT x2, May x2 & Aneke.Think we will have too much attacking talent for a side who will be fighting relegation come end of the season.0
