Match Day Thread Reading v Hull City AFC

Last minute replacement.

We’re up against a plethora of City rejects. No time or place for nostalgia. Beat the ****ers into the ground.

Time for Adkins to wise up & stick with 442.

I think Martin will be too ****ed after Tuesday but drag him on for Evandro for the last half hour. Get him up to speed.

We’re **** but not as **** as the Berkshire Berks. City, 3 nowt.

It's not really a 4-4-2 if Evandro's one of the 2. He will always drop off and try to link it up.

 

He should do as he’s told.

“Get up top & score some ****ing goals”

 

Gotta go for the Win here. Adkins needs to be bold and go for it.

Having lived in both I feel qualified to make such a remark.

 

I lived in Reading for about 3 years and I didn't mind it.

 

Different strokes, different folks. Glad you were ok with it, I thought it was a dump!

 

I don't know why you'd want him to try. I'd say he's very much a creative midfielder, not the type to stretch defences or hold play up

 

Praying for a win, expecting a defeat.

 

Decent record against Reading. Like Ipswich, they're no great shakes and you'd fancy us to get something. Just fear that either Adkins, the team or both will contrive to do something stupid.

 

You weren't listening, the whole thing sounded like a fart from start to finish.

 

All their lads will be clued up about us thanks to the ex City contingent, could be another one of those Adkins days where we don't get a shot off and lose abjectly, then wake up to Adkins tweeting a picture of his breakfast or going on about the 'positives' . A point would be great. At least Martin and Henriksen will contribute a bit more this match, seeing as it would be hard to actually contribute less than last time.

 

Are you being morphed by Chazz, the similarity in the style of writing is frightening Ben?

P.S. I think Reading will get their first point at home, 1-1.

 

Reading or to be more accurate Caversham is home to the BBC Written Archives (WAC) a place I have spent many a happy hour doing research. It literally is like walking back into an earlier age.
