SimmopsBarney I will be there tomorrow night (ST holder). I can almost stomach a loss just as long as we show some fight and spirit.
What I can't stand is not giving 100%. You can't, and won't, win every game....but at least put total effort and commitment into it.
Am actually looking forward to these next two home games (which I know makes me highly unpopular on here !) but this is what
football is all about,
The ups and downs. That is what it is all about. Ignoring 1971 (was JUST starting to go) i have LOVED 8 promotions and HATED 6 relegations.
The South Bank, the smell of wee-wee where i stood, Charlie Hurley's blue and white army (Cambridge away). 7 promotions and relegations between 1976 and 1988 (The newbies on here would be having kittens) McGhee's team. Leaving Elm Park. Tommy Burns (RIP) bringing in SEVEN new players in one day, Pardew's team, Leicester away. Our Brian.
That's football. I will always LOVE RFC. Tough at the moment....but like I say, that is football.
Genuine, Reading till I die.
I bet you sit in Club1871

A good post.
Were you at Elm Park when we beat Aldershot 4 0 in the 1978/79 season. I think it was bank holiday Monday over the Easter period from memory. Maurice Evans blue and white army, one of my favourite teams.

paultheroyal Every game is like a cup final now - something to play for - and yep it starts tonight. Come Saturday that team is starting to look a whole lot different and more back to the Reading way. Lets hope Pauno uses this as his last chance saloon.
As an aside, our fans on twitter are just utter melts at times. Tagging in Baba and Yiadom, mocking defeat and welcoming them back.

YorkshireRoyal99 Hopefully we can just squeak by tonight with any sort of win, certainly manageable against a tough yet inconsistent mid table side.
February might be our month where we can really kick on though and start to pick up some results, however just 1 win in these next 2 home games would be good.

That was the Easter weekend where we played Portsmouth on the Friday (won 2-0). Bournemouth away on the Saturday (0-0), and then Aldersh!t at home on the Easter Monday (won 4-0). And then a few weeks later we all went up to Port Vale...won 3-0...won the title...and Deathy set the record of number of minutes without conceding a goal. So yes chap...went to them all. Happy Days

Doesn’t mean shit. We had quite a few “must win games” last season and we were the standard incompetent, negative shit. I have zero confidence this time round, at the other end of the table, will be any different.
Unless Joao stays fit and re-finds his early (last) season form, without a change in management we will be relegated. I’m certain of it.

The meltdown will be even worse when neither of them start. Imagine it.

They could be back by today and have three days rest. Would imagine professional athletes will be able to cope with that, they only played 3 games at AFCON.
