Think Reading will feel more nervous about this than our team. We have to make sure that their confidence takes an early dent before they settle into their stride. And then we must be prepared to withstand a late onslaught as they are obviously a good team to have come back from an indifferent start to the league. COYR

I've got the same bad feeling as I had before the Blackpool game someone help and give me some belief right now!

Heart Saints 3-1
Head Saints 0-2

HELP! :mad:

Isn't it probably more like...

Heart Saint 3-1
Head Saints 2-2
Hell Saints 1-3

Personally, I think we'll take our chances and they won't, or just the odd one, so 3-0 or 3-1, for me.

Surely hell would be a 5 nil drubbing, nullifying our goal difference with them and shortening it from the Spammers?

We were well out played by them at Reading (best performance from opposition away bar Leeds).

Not feeling good about it at all. Now, I hope, as usual, I'll be proved wrong and my pessimism unjustified!
 
Reading were pretty lucky to beat Brighton on Tuesday. When we have been on a good run, it's taken a reality check to really understand our limitations. Ours was against Blackpool and hopefully this is theirs.
 
We win this (which we will) title is ours, because we'd only have to win a maximum of 2/3 remaining games to stay above Reading because of GD. I won't apologise for my confidence because I don't see how depression now will make me feel any better if things go against us.
 
I have been away for the last few days and had not realised Karacan was out of the game. I also just read that Leigertwood and Tabb are also doubtful which makes me a little less nervous. I remember Leigertwood being particularly good against us in the game at their place. Can't wait to get through those gates and into St Mary's tonight. COYS!

I too agree with this sentiment. Karacan is a big loss and so would Leigertwood be if he is not available, however I expect he will be. On the flip side, if these players are not available Readings midfield is likely to be back with pace: Robson-Kanu, McAnuff, Kebe etc which could also be a worry!
 
Schneiderlin will be a big loss for this one. His industry in the middle to win the ball as well as his distribution would have crucified reading.
 
We need an early goal to make sure they go for it and not just rely on breakaways. If they get one we could be in trouble....hey it wil lbe a good tough game.

I think your right - but Cork was very good v Pompey and again v Crystal Palace, and Hammond also had an excellent game at Palace. I was in the front row at Palace and had a closer view than usual at our play and i thought Hammond was immense with his tackling and distribution to our offensive players. More of the same tonight from Cork & Hammond and we may not miss Spiderman too much - hopefully !

Christ, but am i excited about tonights game !

Couldn't agree more
 
Lee is out, but hadn't really played for us much over the whole season. Schneiderlin is more of a loss, but we have good cover. Reading have lost several of their main side, but how much effect that will have is anyone's guess.
