have any of the twitter followers seen anything from todays press conference about injuries update. i saw ruddy won't be risked, but is there any news on Bunn and Pilkington?
All from the twitter feed: Bunn may train tomorrow and see how he is Ruddy needs to play another U21 game before they'll consider him Pilks has been training all week and is available Wouldn't be at all surprised if Ruddy is on the bench instead of Steer if Bunn isn't fit though
thanks dazz, sounds like the bunn injury is not too bad and there is a chance he could play on saturday, or be involved. good to have pilks back as an option, although benettt played very well vs swansea and should retain his starting place. so with only Surman out, that's a very good fitness report
Ruddy ready for Reading, it was always going to be like that... BIG GAME, BIG PLAYER, BIG PRESENCE, BIG PERFORMANCE = BIG RESULT
lawro has predicted a 3-0 home win, although he does say we will be fine in terms of staying up. he also says that about wigan, so i assume he is predicting either sunderland or stoke for the drop (as he seems to like Villa) Merson on Sky Sports has gone 5-0 on the basis of our slopping defending vs swansea continuing
To be honest max, I'm expecting a thumping and i can fully understand why merson has gone for that type of prediction. But obviously I hope were both wrong.
yeah, could harm our GD, and confidence if we can play like vs sunderland, you never know. if they score after 15 mins then it could be big
Max, our goal difference is already minus 19 ! That's virtually like losing another point to our rivals already, don't you agree ?
.......another thing, Wigan will have two games in hand on everyone after tomorrow so a bad result for us (which is highly probable) at The Emirates and my bum will have the perverbial squeak !!
I think Wigan may just stay up anyway KIO - I think Sunderland may be the most precarious although I too will have clenched ass cheeks tomorrow if (as expected) the results go against us tomorrow.
OCF - why do you think results will go against us tomorrow? The only match we're really bothered about is Villa v Fulham and that could well be a draw. The results that really matter for us are on Sunday and Wednesday - I personally can't see Sunderland winning at Newcastle and I certainly can't see Stoke beating Man U or Wigan beating Man City. Still, stranger things have happened.
Maybe tomorrow was the wrong word Rob - shouid have said "after the weekend (and Wednesday)". I can see Villa beating Fulham and Sunderland getting a point at the Nukes. I think the Potters will lose against Man Ure so that'll help and Citeh should (repeat should) beat the Latics but as you say, stranger things have happened, especially if Wigan have their tails up after beating Millwall.
Yes if you are talking about Sunderland and stoke But a bad Scoreline could make it worse than Wigan and villa who we are currently ahead of in gd
