It is the pantomime season after all so mock outrage could be a very appropriate reaction. Hyperbole is an interesting one, I understand the dictionary definition of the word but would be interested in what you classify as such on here. Oh no it isn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m no believer in ‘luck’, but he cultivated the conditions that resulted in a number of ‘lucky’ things happening across the season. I’ll be there too. I got speaking to a Reading fan on the bus in the early hours of Saturday morning and, stupidly, I was talking us up massively. I was (jokingly) calling him a posh boy and all that, so I hope it doesn’t come back to bite me! Talking of biting, the pies at Reading are absolutely fantastic. Money is tight at the minute, but I’m definitely going to stretch the budget for either their chicken balti or stake and local ale offerings. Reading is my local match but alas fate has conspired against me as am in US at moment and will miss the game. Reading used to be a club that decked out the away end to remind us of PP by putting on local beer and grub, plus play rams tv. Are they going to be playing loud booing on a loop over the pa system this season - just to make it authentic like at PP ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Least likely option put forward yet but assuming all are fit I’d give Sibley a shot. Sink or swim he will show some fight which can’t be said for the bulk of them. I’d also push Evans to CB and drop Curtis. Pelted inbound in 3, 2, 1...

Dean (hick) Saunders Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 If we were Reading (also in poor form) I imagine I would be worried about playing the team with the TERRIBLE away record because they are bound to win at some point and the law of sod says it will be against us. (This is my vain hope that I am clinging to. Although I still put down a defeat in the score prediction thread) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sad thing is we feel like that regularly and it tends to happen against us almost every time, the thing with you feeling it, you might just be lucky enough to only feel it, but lucky enough for your team not to feel the same way and get you a result you didn't expect. As for us winning an away game at the moment, I've more chance of getting rid of last week's tickets at home to Millwall and Grandad making a comeback in a new Christmas Special of Only Fools & Horses! We'd be better off with Del, Rodney & Grandad in our midfileld! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every single time we've gone that far south this season we've lost 3-0. Brentford, Charlton, Fulham all did it. If you dont put at least 3 past us you should be looking at getting a new manager. You should feel lucky this is an away game - we are much better at home. We may have managed to limp our way to a boring 0-0 draw if this was at Pride Park.

Chester40 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Whether it be some attacking football, grass shoots of a formation that works, a point (or 3), a goal or 2.. We just need some positives. Desperately want us to be on the front foot. Hamer Bogle Evans Davies Lowe Bielik Waghorn Holmes Lawrence Marriott Martin Go with diamond in midfield with Lawrence at the tip. Full backs told to get forward and Waghorn/Holmes to work hard like normal but in midfield rather than the business end of the pitch where they fail miserably with end product. I would send them out and say we are 3 down from the first leg.. We need to win by 3 or 4.. And at least give the fans something to sing about. Stick with it until new year when we know things will change anyway.. Draws aren't going to keep us in with a chance of play offs.. Let's just go for it.

I’d go with exactly that, the two games he went with that front three Lawrence looked a threat and we actually had support around Martin ... and shock horror it’s gave us a platform to actually look a threat from Only thing I’d consider from what Iv put is knight for waghorn purely in the name of round pegs round holes. then I’d be torn between starting Marriott or waghorn alongside Martin I feel that at this stage of his fitness / sharpness Marriott maybe best served coming on for the last 30 mins when the games a bit more open and defenders have been waghorned for an hour lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sith Happens Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Great news anyway. I have such low expectation today, fully expect to get beat so this will no doubt mean we now go on an win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nookiebear1 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I'm liking this diamond thing, I think if we could pull that formation off we'd nick it 0 1. We do need some positives though like the other poster said ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
