Very much looking forward to this next game, I personally think Nigel will change things around for this game and I hope we will see Adam return even if on the bench if he has recovered in time.


Come on you Reds!!!
 
Bloody hell you're keen. Why not though? Saints, full of confidence and should have Lallana back. Should be a treat for the 3,999 Saints fans plus myself who are going!
 
I'm really confident for this game,have been for a while,outta the 3 games this week i tipped us to lose at Derby,draw with West Ham and beat Reading so i won't change my mind now,although when i'm positive we normally lose haha.
 
Will happily take a point, even more so after last night's result. Four points from these two games vs Reading and Boro is my aim (ie replicate the points tally from Derby & West Ham). Will of course though be delighted with a win, and I don't think it's naive to say that we're perfectly capable of doing just that. But yeah, come away with a point and I'll be happy.
 
No over confidence please...despite their home form they are no walkover.....so don't get carried away......
 
A point would be nice from this one, 3 would be a delight!

I'm certain we'll go there and play to win, just as we have with every single match this season. If the team put in a performance that they're capable of, we will come away with victory.

However, I am a little worried about fatigue as the players put in such a big effort against West Ham. I can see Adkins shuffling the pack a little for this game, bring in a few changes - we have such quality and depth within the squad though, this shouldn't be a problem.

As others have said, we definitely shoudn't underestimate Reading, that would be careless. Just because we've beaten West Ham, doesn't mean we're going to tear it up against lower placed sides in the division. We maybe flying high at the moment, but there's is a lot of quality in the Championship, let's not forget that.
 
There will be a number of Saints fans (not necessairily on this forum) who will think we have a divine right to the 3 points on Saturday after beating West Ham. We will have to be near or at our best to win, Reading's a tough place to go, they got to the play off final last season where I tipped them to go up. They have lost Long and Mills but that doesn't mean they are a bad side all of a sudden.
 
We'll be coming up against Jo Mills in this one (and I guess to a lesser extent, Alex Pearce), whilst we're also get a look at what might have been in the form of Gorkks.
