The key to the game tomorrow lies in whether we can keep all 11 players on the pitch. Past history against Reading and of course the various sendings off last season and this suggest not. Reading will seek to exploit this weakness. The other key aspect to discipline will be whether every player remembers to do what they are paid to do. I refer of course to our defence. Reading will be dangerous particularly from set pieces. Let's hope the boys don't panic. We are a much better football team so let's show it. Do you think we are capable of showing the level of discipline and determination to see the job done? I do.
Mbia Diakite and Cisse have shown lack of discipline, Mbia is suspended and Cisse may start on the bench so Diakite would be the main worry Granero was close to a second yellow last time but I have faith in him
It's time we finish the match with 11 players. Next time when somebody gets a red card for a reason that breaks fair-play rule (like Mbia) he should loose his salary for entire month. As simple as that. But somehow I'm always afraid when Diakite is about to make a challenge, he seems so yellow/red card prone.
Nah. The key to tomorrow is if we can SCORE. In fact, it's whether we can get more than 4 shots on goal in 90 minutes I don't care what anybody says, if we don't get the shots at target, we can't score. As simple as that, innit? It's like golf, in a sense - if you don't get the ball to the cup, it ain't going in, mate. So lets ****ing shoot shoot shoot. And get them on target. Surely we have enough skill to create a little bit of space around their penalty area and have a go. If we score a couple, we'll be fine. Otherwise, it'll be another hack-fest.
Reading are scoring freely, our defence is ***** through injuries and suspensions We will need to do a keegan and score more than them I reckon
