xxxxxx Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Play shit football and look no threat for 70% of their games, yet it looks like they'll be playing European football next year. They are the new Bolton. I predict them to go like West Ham - struggle and be relegated next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickadoo Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 What are you on about? They don't play shit football, the play good football, passing down the wings, good fighting spirit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be a lot of very bad finishers out there if they're as bad as you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we've looked terrible in the last 15 games, so I'm not suprised by that stat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickadoo Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 i commented on tonights game don't try to tell me reading played good football they didn't I wouldn't know, I was playing football myself. I'll take it they were bad then, but just from what I have seen of them I've seen a good spirit and attacking football, the near-comeback against United after 3 early goals comes to mind.

bristol_wanderer Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I think Reading have a good midfield - not necessarily tonight, but Harper, Sidwell, Hunt and Seol is a busy, quick and industrious midfield. Put Harper and Sidwell in place of Campo and Nolan and we would far nearer to Arsenal than we are now IMO. I think they will struggle next year when Sidwell leaves and teams exploit their weaknesses more. How they get away with charging out at free kicks all the time is amazing. If they do that next year then I predict they will let in bucket loads of goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Alf Hartigan Posted April 30, 2007 Site Supporter Share Posted April 30, 2007 Think people are going a bit OTT about Reading. Lets remember West Ham,Ipswich,Wigan,Birmingham all coming up looking the dogs bollox then going down soon after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burndens Bogs Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 (edited) Glenn Little has been a regular in there midfield instead of Seol, he has had a cracking season Is that the same Glen Little that's only played 18 games this season, and scored 0 goals? I think their more consistent performers have been Doyle,Sidwell,Hunt,Shorey, and the keepers done well. They have a bit of pace in the side,and they are well organised - but i agree with the posters who predict they might struggle next season.

There is a lot to be said for getting off to a good start, it eases all the pressure and teams can then kick on, West Ham, Ipswich, we've seen it all before. Much tougher second time around, but I suspect Coppell will know where he needs to improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
