roonst83 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I know we havn't had the Man City game yet, but my mind keeps drifting towards next week's clash at Reading as I feel it is without doubt the biggest game of our season. Not expecting any points from the City game which makes this so important. We usually play better away from home although Reading have picked up their home form - and seem to enjoy scoring late goals, whilst we seem pretty good at conceding late ones. Did Pogrebnyak get a red the other day for dangerous play? If so is he out for our clash? We're going to have a full away end rocking and getting behind the boys. I just hope we can get the 3pts.

chappy Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Lets hope for a similar outcome as our last game at the Madjeski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 If there was ever a "must win", this is it. A loss will just about sink us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CI Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Ok, here it is. A heavy loss 1-4 I think. Reading will be 100% pumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 CI you miserable bastard. I'll bet you £10 to this website that it's not that score. In fact if it is I'll pay £20. Real shame that Delph is missing this one. KEA is such a liability defensively but for me he has to play because at least he can link with the front 4. We'll need a big, strong and mature performance from Westwood alongside him though. Bennett has been better recently so I'd keep him in and drop Clark for this one, assuming Vlaar is fit. So: Guzan Lowton Vlaar Baker Bennett Westwood KEA Weimann N'Zogbia Agbonlahor Benteke I think we'll win - but draw or lose against QPR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) Yes you can say that cousens but I am so **** off with this season. It's wank and it's not acceptable and it ain't getting any better Oh and you call me a bastard I will call you a happy Clappy' delusional fool.

Condimentalist Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Thanks very much. I've probably been called delusional before but never for so slight a sin as thinking we can beat Reading. I think 'happy clappy' is a first. I'll ask you again if you're prepared to put your money where your mouth is on 4-1 Reading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roonst83 Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Reminiscent of the west ham away game under houllier for me. Whatever happens against man city, lose against reading and its curtains I thought of that exact comparison too. Seems similar except beating West Ham pretty much guaranteed our safety. I was at that game and will be there Saturday so hope it's a good omen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted March 5, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted March 5, 2013 Its an overused term but this definitely is a must win. I don't think it's necessarily a must win. But it's certainly a must not lose. 4 points out of the QPR and Reading game is acceptable. Obviously 6 points would be ideal. But, picking up the win against Reading would take a certain amount of pressure off the QPR match. In conclusion, I feel sick already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
