Reading v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[ironmaidenmania]

Regulation 2-0 loss.

[CT Villan]

Unless we score in the first 15 minutes, we'll lose...and then it will get VERY ugly for SB.

Yes I know they are professionals and all that and they get paid fortunes......but the thought of pulling on a Villa shirt and trying to play for this pressure cooker of a club at the minute must be awful.

Just reading this thread makes you want to jump off a bridge !

anyways...2-0 to Reading 

I'm very much looking forward to the better class of Waitrose catering though

Carabao sponsor Reading now so they'll probably have those young lasses with jet-packs full of fizzy pop instead of fizzy lager. I'll probably stay in the pub in Reading

Being an 8:00 KO is this on the box tomorrow?

[Boz]

A draw is the best we can hope for tomorrow i think, given how Steve will set us up to try and not lose, and that means a win against Norwich is essential. Lose or draw that one, and golf/football punditry beckons.

I think he has got to go with a three man midfield seeing how easily we were taken apart at times on Saturday and that after two games it is looking increasingly like Whelan is struggling in a two.  Unless he goes to three at the back, that probably means we will only play 1 up front.     

That is quite possible as SB stated in the post match interviews that we were not ready to play 2 up front.

Will we ever be? What's Bruce and his coaches doing at BMH?

I hope not.

No, for some reason Reading always kick off at 8.00 at home.

(When they are playing in midweek, before some smartar*e points out they often kick off at 3pm on a Saturday.)

3-0 Reading

[tony scott]

I can only see 0:0

I wish I could. I can see us not scoring.

[VinnieChase84]

I see Bruce is changing his ways and planning a different side tomorrow night..... Not.
O'Hare is starting tonight for the under 23's as is Davis

[Malandro]

Dead man walking.

O'Hare should at least be on the bench for tomorrow.
