    Beat the Royals on Saturday, and we are within touching distance of the Play Offs.

    There should be a good atmosphere , Reading have sold out their allocation.

    We need a better performance than what we put up in August, that was my first game back from Brazil. It was poor.

    I don't feel very enthused about this game.
    Maybe a draw.

    Should be the same team again but doesn't have to be the same bench. Kanu for Hylton, and at least there would be a bit of pace.

    Must win just to keep in touch. Lose and we’re 10 points behind with a crap squad. Sitting on the fence with this one.

    On a rare serious note, what are the chances of the game going ahead in this freeze tomorrow ?

    Do we have pitch covers this season, or undersoil heating ?

    Remember the famous incident where Roland admitted the pipes were not connected to the boiler….

    I’m heading over there today.

    If there are any pitch inspections, please can they be early ones. It’s currently minus 1.

    I am going today. Reading are a decent side. We will need to be at it today. Is our undersoil heating working?

    Nobody seems to know whether we have undersoil heating , which would suggest to me that we haven’t.

    Under soil heating pipes were installed under Duchatelet but they weren’t connected to a boiler as it was too expensive.

    At the risk of sounding like Micheal @lardiman Fish, it’s forecast to rise from -1 to 3 degrees in SE7 later. I’ll leave it at late as possible before setting off.

    Orpington is thawing out, and it's higher up, so shouldn't be a problem.

    Be a heavy pitch presumably which on the basis we move the ball in the air shouldn’t be a problem?

    We have played the ball on the ground more in the past three games.

    The women’s team should not be playing their games on the Valley pitch.
