The Breakfast Debate / Reading v Leeds Utd Match thread

I sense some conspiracy theories hatching there Ristac

 

can't agree. We we terrific last time out against Brighton. Over two games we've beaten reading two one which would do nicely in the playoffs. We lose one game one nil away from home and suddenly we're not good enough to go up. We're as good as any others that will be in playoffs. Point proven by our points total of 69 so far

 

I fecking hope so. You say we will lose every week and we don't. You'd be some bookmaker

 

I think youll beat Brentford gonna have a nice wedge on it

 

That's torn it

 

what price Leeds to win all their remaining games ?

 

Deep breath but I agree with LL too (to an extent). Much too much room for them through the middle but,for me Hernandez was the problem. Yes he creates but he also does a lot of arm waving when he loses possession and then there is always a big gap between him and Bridcutt / Viera etc - he doesn't track back. Reading, like the botherers, had three busy players in the middle, Williams, Kelly and someone (young lad - decent) and none ever gave it up.

Having said that, we should still have enough for the play offs and wouldn't be overly worried about Reading in a semi or a final.

Last thought, would take Steve Beko or whatever their left back was called when Taylor moves to the bin dippers - liked him

 

You tell us - Mighty Bet has a ring to it

 

So

Something isn't right, I hope it can be sorted, we're going to need Pontus even more once Cooper gets his ban

 

Chippy was right, Pontus isn't signing. My guess is he's been tapped up already by a prem club.

 

That's true with your 6 goals a game defence,not much good to you.

 

Has Chippy got to you or have you heard something from a more reliable source?

 

No, just my gut feeling that something more has happened between Monk & Jansson which caused him to be dropped before the international break and my natural pessimism.

 

Total accident

 

Roofe should have been on from the start IMO...

 

Hope they review the elbow on Wood as well

 

Didn't think Hernandez played well Elland, but that's just my opinion. Taylor headed across his box and even at school boy level you're told not to do that. Then you had Cooper jumping over the ball when IMO he should have hoofed it out for a corner. Reading are terrible to watch, side passes. They got the three points, but I'll bet you they'll drop points in their remaining games. We aren't going up automatically, so let's make sure we make it mathematically safe for a play off spot..

 

was it raining ?

 

...........................NO

 

Cooper worries me. Last week he sliced and skied a ball that could have easily ended up in his own net, this week he headed a ball straight into the path of a waiting Reading forward who scored the only goal of the game. He has too many mistakes in him. We can't afford that in the play offs when the margins are so thin. The Jansson situation worries me. There's more to it than meets the eye
