Play our game in our way.

Be aware of their strengths and try to prevent them using them

Be aware of their weaknesss and try to exploit them

play our game, our way.

Don't change it now; we're top after 42 games!
 
To me it is plain as the pimple on your nose.........Just score more bloody goals than they do!!!

1) Press. They're not used to being pressed as high and as hard as teams press us. They don't have as good a pair of centre backs, full backs or centre midfielders as us. So press hard. This is made for Cork, Hammond, Lallana and Chaplow who love to press high up the pitch. Crucial that Billy pulls his weight up there too.

2) Defend set pieces well. Pearce, Gorkks and Roberts need to be picked up by Jos, Jose and Rickie, leaving the likes of Deano and Frazer, both strong and decent in the air, to mop up the loose balls.

3) Use set pieces well. We still have the height advantage despite their set piece prowess. Use Fox's delivery, it's every bit as good as Harte's.

4) Get the ball into Rickie. Didn;t do it enough vs Pompey and when we did vs Palace we scored goals. Teams fear him and make mistakes when he's got it.

5) Get pace on vs Harte. He's not actually very good.

6) Remember we're the best team in the league, especially at home. Reading would be delighted with a point. We shouldn't be.

Hope this makes you more confident. They can (and will be) beaten!

You obviously haven't watched us much this season.

1) Our centre backs our are two best players shortly followed by our central midfielders ( this can be seen as we have the best defensive record in the league.
2) Press us and we will just counter attack/pick you off with Jimmy and Mcanuff which will play right into our hands
3)Some of our players our massive so i doubt you do have the height advantage
4) Harte is a decent player he is just slow! However his experience and tactictal positioning make us for this
6) We have NEVER and will NEVER be happy with a point ... We go to WIN every game so no we won't be delighted with a point
