saints-cris Posted 19 October, 2011 Share Posted 19 October, 2011 As all I can think of is Saints at the moment, lets get this one going. Really looking forward to this one myself, atmosphere is gunna be brilliant. 2-1 Saints! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted 19 October, 2011 Share Posted 19 October, 2011 Reading fans referring to us as 'scum' on their forum. I really hope we tear them a new one. They'll be down after completely outplaying derby and only getting a point, we're buzzing, and I think this is a game where we'll be able to have a proper game of football.

Have always had a totally irrational dislike of Reading. Not hatred, nothing like that, they are not worth it and there is no reason to. Just their plastic fans, coming out of the woodwork in good times and disappearing just as quickly; slagging us off as if we are a close rival when we dont give a monkeys (much like BHA); and the attitude last time we were there and beat them - how dare we bring 4k fans and sing a lot when we are bottom of the league.

saintscottofthenortham Posted 19 October, 2011 Share Posted 19 October, 2011 Going to this one, was really looking forward to it, after last night I am even more so. I can't see past a win for us, 0-2 (Lamb, Guly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shurlock Posted 19 October, 2011 Share Posted 19 October, 2011 Can't wait - easy place to make our own and remind Reading that they're a tinpot club. Even under difficult circumstances, the atmosphere in 2008 was fantastic -one of the best in recent years- and this time will be even better. Good weekend of fixtures as well: hopefully, all the top teams will be cancelling each other out: Derby-Boro, Ipswich-Palace, Leeds-P'boro and Brighton-WHU.

Lighthouse Posted 19 October, 2011 Share Posted 19 October, 2011 Away games are very tough in this league. Reading will be desperate for a win after their home draw last night, and keen to beat a 'local rival', and of course more keen to beat the team top of the league. All that makes it extremely difficult for us. I'll go 1-1 but can see a Reading win. Depends how we defend. Hopefully Lallana is back anyway. Bet anything you like Le Fondre scores against us. Absolutely. After about a year of saying we should sign him and reading people say he was a League 2 player, it's bound to happen. Don't forget Mills and Gorkss are guaranteed to score too, so we will need at least 3 goals to get anything from this. I would drop Guly away from home. If Lallana is fit, I'd put him back in and play Chaplow on the right instead. Other than that, same team I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxstone Posted 19 October, 2011 Share Posted 19 October, 2011 Will be tough and we must not be over confident ( although Nigel would not allow that anyway).. Will go for a 2-0 victory to us but would not be unhappy with a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lallana is fit, I'd put him back in and play Chaplow on the right instead. Other than that, same team I guess. I feel like this, got a feeling Gorkss will score. Does make me chuckle that after such an important win last night we're surfing on a wave of invincibility but we're not invincible and I'm less confident about Reading than I was about West Ham. Our away form of late has been steady but not amazing. Would love to win but a draw wouldn't be too bad and I think it will finish a draw, having Adam back fully fit could make a difference though.

We've drawn away at Derby, we thrashed Ipswich away, we've stuffed Brum at home, I see absolutley nothing in Reading to stop us beating them.

dune Posted 19 October, 2011 Share Posted 19 October, 2011 We need to concentrate early doors as this is when we are most vulnerable.

Matthew Le God Posted 19 October, 2011 Share Posted 19 October, 2011 (edited) We are not creating many chances now Lallana is out. Really? The two games he has missed are against 3rd and 2nd place teams at the time of the match and... Derby 11 shots - 7 on target Southampton 15 shots - 9 on target Southampton 18 shots - 9 on target West Ham 9 shots - 4 on target Yes, with Lallana we'd likely create more, but to suggest "we are not creating many chances" without him is clearly wrong.

SNSUN Posted 20 October, 2011 Share Posted 20 October, 2011 Reading 1-5 Southampton Lambert (3) Cork Fonte For some reason that scoreline made me laugh - perhaps not the unlikeliness of it, but the randomness of it. What!? We've got to play MORE games!? Can't we just end the season now, please? I'd take this position with 2 games left to play! I would be looking forward to this, but Reading vs Saints on Sky is being played at the same time as Liverpool vs Norwich on ESPN, and while I finish work in time to watch the game, my evil Canary loving missus has decided we've watched too much Saints in recent times (bull****) and will be watching the Norwich game instead. It doesn't help my cause that our local only shows ESPN games. So, I figure I either need to find a pub or establishment that shows both ESPN and Sky games AND will be showing both, or I'll have to sit through the poxy Norwich game with SaintsPlayer commentary on the laptop. Any ideas on how to get around this? As for the game, we're good enough to win it but I'd take a draw. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkie Posted 20 October, 2011 Share Posted 20 October, 2011 Well as far as news on Lallana - Pilchards (our correspondent from Staplewood) has had his perch chopped down and can no longer watch training or those watching training with or without crutches? Let's not worry about Lallana as Nigel will only pick him if he is ready! No good saying he was jogging around Staplewood so his foot is OK - he is chomping at the bit (according to Nigel's interview after Tuesday's game) - but he will only play when Nigel knows (not thinks) he is ready. Be nice to see him in with the 4,000-fans if not playing...but then again enthusiasm of some fans might make the injury worse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
