Have just lost meekly to Millwall...assume that this thread will now kick up a gear or two!! So far we have words like meek, languid and timid to describe our style of play. No passion of pace in evidence. What I do know is that without a striker, there will never be a sense of purpose to a team's m...

Why is it under 4 hours from kick off and yet we still haven't seen the team sheet?

I'm a clinical psychologist (- could be handy later today!) The correct question is "How confident are we?" It frames a positive mindset. Sadly, my answer at the moment is "Not very..."

Marlborough Sounds , New Zealand. 14,000 kms away!! Have full coverage through Be In Sport on Sky Sport, including a 90 minute build up programme!! Its been so hard following Reading this season on TV, but suddenly all my Xmases have come at once!! I'm tremulous, drunk and I'm in my pyjamas :lol: . ...

Nameless Amazing to be able to form an opinion based on a 10 minute warm up !

He was mostly just jiggling about...but it was stunning jiggling!!

I posted on Aaron a couple of years ago having only seen him warm up once on the touchline for 10 minutes or so. I was very impressed. Since then he's been out on loan to a Scottish side, and he doesn't seem to have figured at all in the pre-season banter. Don't think he went to Holland or Swindon, ...

Can we get more flow into this thread guys? Its nearly halftime and no real comments yet about the game. You are our eyes and our ears. Would love to hear more...

This is an incredibly important thread and should become the main focus for whats left of the season. Rating the players for 'Bottle Heart Commitment and Guts' is more relevant now than whether they played well or not. We're all getting sick of the not chasing back, the hanging off tackles, and the ...

Maneki Neko hes called pitt island royal, but he doesn't live there, so youre fine

Phew!!

It's a bit weird commenting on a game that I had to get up early to follow using online newsfeeds from 13,000 miles away in NZ, but here goes! Sometimes distance brings clarity re the bigger picture... Our form in the League has been hugely disappointing and 'turgid' would have to be the best word ...

Following the posts from New Zealands South Island, I can hardly say that I'm 'back from the game', but the current excitement emanating from this team is a global thing! We have a proper team again! I'm sure that we can all feel something building here...

Watched live on TV in NZ. An immense performance. So proud...I did a kind chicken dance when we scored... all by myself at 5am in the morning! Felt like I was there! We MUST remember how to play like this next season!

I watched Kuhl warming up against Ipswich at the start of this season, and could hardly take my eyes off him! A nippy, skilful player with energy to burn. He looked fantastic, and was definitely one for the future. Since then we've only seen scraps of him. He's always referred to positively in passi...

In Dunedin, New Zealand's South Island! 13,000 miles from the Madejski stadium, but on the edge of my seat! First time Reading have been live on TV in NZ since the heady Premiership days!
2-0 Reading. Mackie and the Pog.

This is my absolutely favourite thread! Love the speculation. Can lie awake for hours working out permutations for the last ten games. Keep up the chatter. Bullshit to some...deeply provocative data for others. We are poised between 2nd and 3rd place, and I'm being optimistic here! This tells me tha...

This is a very brave thread...as positive as we can get at this stage of the season! Although we are still absolutely gutted by this latest setback, as the week continues we will start to get more optimistic about the Everton game, which we'd previously written off as an almost certain loss. This no...

I'm so happy! Watched the Southampton drama unfold on BBC Sport website from the other side of the world. Couldn't have been further from the game, but couldn't have been more involved! Brians substitution was sublime!

This is now such a weird, factual thread about detail. The only thing that matters from here on in is passion and inspiration. Everyone playing out of their skins for a club that they love. 3 games. 270 minutes of guts and endeavour. Have these players got it to give? Who knows. Will we all be shrug...

Sheff Utd will probably deal to Palace, which stuffs us. However, I've just realised that we've only lost 2 of our last 11 games since Feb. That has to be a pretty solid defensive record to take into the playoffs, where the main theme is not to lose? Sadly, I hate the playoffs, and see nothing but m...
