Morning Dave and Royals fans
Thought I would pop over and see how things are going before we meet on Thursday.
Disappointed that Sky has once again ruined the fixture by putting on what is normally an awful game on TV (Thursday)? Many of my mates cannot make it due to the day.
This was a fixture I was not looking forward to 4 weeks ago but now feel more confident. Then we had Benny (Chris Ramsey) in charge who was clueless. If we had kept him we would have been relegated. The team were not playing well and team selection was a mystery.
Now it is a different story.
Under NW the team are playing for him and all the under achievers have stepped up. The defence is now solid and we have Austin back so our attack looks great. The one thing that really pleases me is the commitment the players are showing. Something I did not see under Ramsey.
Yesterday was our best performance of the season and completely outclassed a poor Leeds side. Never once did I feel that they might score. Something I have not felt in a long time. Faurlin and Sandro gave a midfield masterclass. Charlie is on fire again and I will hate the day he goes but expect it.
Reading seemed to be doing well a few weeks ago but have lost their way of late. It didn’t help that Clark decided to go to Fulham and back again? Must say that was a strange move by him but remember he is Chelsea so will always stab you in the back. He must be a dead man walking now? Do you fans feel differently towards him? I thought you had a good transfer window with Vydra being the best. Blackman seemed to be doing the business for you but gone quiet recently, is this due to team selection position? You need to sort your defence out as I see you let in 8 goals in four games which I find strange compared with a few weeks ago where you looked solid.
I think both clubs are capable of making the play-offs depending on managers. We need to keep Colin and not go after JFH/Rowlett blah blah blah. Reading need to get rid of Clark and bring in a fresh face. Neither team will go up automatically. That will be decided by Derby/Hull/Burnley/Boro/Brighton.
I cannot call this one but feel more confident now. Happy with a draw and a few beers.
