Tough games for us both at the Weekend

CorkerSWFC · 10-11-2008, 22:09

I was speaking to a very bias united fan (usually) on the bus earlier and he reckons United will be lucky to get owt off Reading and if anything may get beat by a biggish scoreline.
And to be honest if Derby hadn't have messed up in recent weeks then i would have also been worried about Saturday, maybe just maybe we could get something there though.
Like i say its a tough weekend of fixtures for both, any1 gonna Pride Park i,ll be there

NERVY-OWL · 10-11-2008, 22:13

well i'll be working so definately not going

i cant see us getting anything at derby and i dont see utd getting a win against reading but reading have been quite inconsistent so far so you never know

CorkerSWFC · 10-11-2008, 22:17

I didn't fancy us a Palace but we could have won it, Derby aint nowt special and theres piles of pressure on there manager and players at the moment, and like i said at the beginning of the season, Wednesday will defo put a few cats among pigeons this season.
Even a Blade said Leon Clarke looked dangerous today i thought i was hearing things, you don't hear that on the North Stand on a Saturday afternoon

NERVY-OWL · 10-11-2008, 22:24

anythings possible, if we play to our best then derby are there for the taking but its away so less confident

The away form will change im almost certain about that, its our home form which may change.
If we carry on as well as we are at home then teams will just shut up shop and try and hit us on the break and we find it hard to play against teams like that.
Donny were a prime example of that on Saturday they played the whole of the first half with Jason Price up front and he hit the bar after about 8 minutes, and could have scored soon after.
Guarenteed Clarke will be up front on his own Saturday but in way we need to do more of what teams do to us at Hillsborough at the likes of Pride Park.
Its a catch 22 situation do u go for it or not, i suppose your decision rests on what you believe in as a manager to be fair.

Watching the championship the other day, Reading looked fantastic.

I'm always worried when we play them, they're just our bogey side.

I would call them a better side.

Clare85 · 11-11-2008, 16:12

I would like to see a few goals from us (away form isn't brilliant). Doyle and Hunt have been set a 40 goal target to hit so hopefully won't be wasting any time!

But to be honest I can't see a massacre happening; I wouldn't be surprised if it was a boring draw. Reading are an up and down side at times, Coppell said the same the other day and we could be due that bad game.

Better goal average thanks to your shower of ***** letting them score 6

swervin · 11-11-2008, 17:53

there's no easy games, reading always play good football home or away ,ive always liked coppell as a player and manager quitely goes about is business and derby are starting to find there feet two draws wont go a miss

CorkerSWFC · 11-11-2008, 18:22

The problem with Derby is they can't defend, they have only kept one clean sheet all season, Donnys got 3 so that shows how good the Rams are.

daftlad · 11-11-2008, 19:14

Reading are where they are because of their home form, where they have only dropped two points, but they are not so hot away from home

Thing with Reading is though if u give them a chance in front of goal there more than likely going to take it, and from what ive seen u havent got much more to choose from at the back, what with Ugo banned and Morgan looking like he could have had his confidence shot.
Is Killgallon back yet?

Yes, Killa came on as a sub at the weekend

Well from the short appearance he made at Hillsborough and from when ive seen him on tele, in all honesty i think he's a tidy centre back Killgallon so at least you have got him to step in the gap.
Im impressed with Steve Watson for us this season, he doesn't seem to age atall and looks a real experianced player at this level.
Looking at the league at the moment im sure deep down both sets of fans are pretty satisfied with both our points totals and some of the results we have got.
Your draw away at Bristol could be significant come the end of the season, they are good games to get anything out of, just like us at Charlton no would have fancied us there, and i reckon that is still our best result of the season.

SteveBlade · 11-11-2008, 19:39

I dont think Morgan will get banned, should be available for Saturday, imo Killa is our best defender, but there was no need to put him back into the first team before Saturday as Morgs and Ugo were doing very well, but now ofcourse we have no choice.. Didnt someone say Speed could play centr back?

Anyway, Reading are our bogey team big style, cant remember the last time we beat them but hopefully this time we'll get something.

As for Wednesday i cant see them getting anything at Derby.

CorkerSWFC · 11-11-2008, 19:43

I fancy a draw to be honest but who knows which Wednesday will turn up, we are so inconsistant this season, it could be either way.

NERVY-OWL · 11-11-2008, 19:47

so we've got derby who cant defgend but have got some handy strikers i think and we've got wednesday that don't bother with the defending part away from home, i can see a few goals there
