Whatever crocked together team needs to get us another three points at least and today is the best opportunity I can see. I don't know much about Reading's squad - anyone know if they've put out a weaker team due to not having much to play for? (Wishful thinking) If you want a bit more wishful thinking, reading fans don't seem happy with the team they've put out on twitter! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

You cant blame him for wanting to safeguard himself. I don't think Tarmo is blaming shotton. I think he's more saying that Ayala get hammered by the fans because of his commitment incase he got injured and shotton has done the exact same thing and comes out smelling of roses Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt he'd be playing tonight even if he had been willing to play the last 2. Ayala didn't want to risk getting injured and wouldn't extend his contract. It's similar, but Shotton still showed more commitment. Link to post Share on other sites

Ayala had no interest in committing himself to the clubs cause. Link to post Share on other sites

It does however start to show how thin the squad is going to be, as only 8 on the bench. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LBP 3,012 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Worried about John Swift and their 2 strikers Puscas and Meite tonight Lucas Boye on the bench, done nothing for them this season but how typical would that be if he comes on and scores Link to post Share on other sites

I like Pears, he had a great run before his form dropped. Stojanovic comes off his line all the time, that's how Hugill scored for a start. He has a decent punch on him. But just like anyone who punches, it is pretty easy to get wrong. I was expecting that from him anyway as he was doing that in all the highlights of him. Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,401 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Apparantly the defence is warming up as Johnson, Friend, Fry, Dijksteel in a 4. Link to post Share on other sites

We always warmed up as a 4 even when playing with wing-backs, which is kind of weird but I guess they just expect one side to be better going forward than the other. Link to post Share on other sites

Should have been dropped after Hull but I thought he played a bit better the last game or so 🤷♂️ Stupid question perhaps but does anyone know if his English is good/bad etc?

SmogDane 4,052 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I'm sorry I couldn't buy us some points last game, but I bought some money! 90 £ for 30 £ Today I will try and buy us points again, but if Reading wins, I have bought some more money .. UTFB! Link to post Share on other sites
