Armadillo Roadkill I don’t know. Maybe there will be goals. Maybe Reading will play really well but lose heroically. Maybe they’ll be pants and lose. Unheroically. Maybe a unicorn will land of the pitch. Maybe Dave Edwards is still alive. Who knows?

All bets are off. Storm clouds, dark omens, dire predictions; all swirl around the majestic Mad Stad like a vortex in the whirlpool in an oil slick. Sweat, blood, tears. We know it. It’s in the air. Strained sinews in the heat of battle. The darkened, bruised sky over our beloved Berkshire. A rectangle of grass, the effort and exertion of our valiant warriors, flags flying, honour challenged and defended. The flight of the ball, the caress of the cross field sprayed pass, the gonad-twisting crunch of a flying tackle.

Injuries, adjudicational errors, umami-laced hydrogenated and saturated fat snack, effluent influenced beverages. Sone-A-frikkin-Luko.

It will be massive. Snarling, angry, Monkees-hit-singing, Thames-Valley-Police baiting massive.

International break can kiss my arse.

windermereROYAL Saeid Ezatolahi picked up an injury on international duty, no details how bad, we`re fcuking jinxed :shock:

We may aswell relegate ourselves now.


Iran beat Bolivia 2-1 but Eza missed the game completely, not even on the bench, so the doubt was founded.

Get ready to welcome back David Meyler though.

Still look on the brightside Gunter and Aluko are fit.

According to the manager at today's press conference Baldock and Bodvarsson are not likely to make the Millwall game but should make Birmingham.

And O'Shea is hopeful he'll be ready for Swansea next week.

Apparently Sims is pushing Aluko for a start (I'd never have expected that - but I guess that's why he's the manager :roll: )

Ezatolahi is due for a scan but the current assessment is it's just a short term injury (so that'll be 6 months then if I know Reading's luck in this area).

yeah wasn't a particularly inspiring conference that, at least from the J Lows quotes

Less than optimistic for this game. Or Birmingham for that matter.

.

Shit! When did Sims have a leg amputated to only be pushing Aluko for a start?

Yep Ezatolahi out for two or three weeks. Baldock may be available but Bodvarsson isn’t back in training so I can’t see him being available. :roll:

If Millwall (#place any team here) want it and attack they’ll have it.
Expecting a 0-2 loss at least on Saturday.
O’Shea injured? Baldock and Bod seem out. Ezra out and all the usuals out.
Looking forward to a Meyer, Kelly, Aluko midfield.
Christ this has got desperate.

Really baffled by this blind defence of Aluko, really odd. Of course I'm not expecting Clement to rip his player to shreds but his comments today were above and beyond what is necessary. What must Sims be thinking at the moment? The bloke knows there's nothing he can do to get a start.

Would love to know if Aluko has a clause in his deal regarding minimum playing time.

It might be what's missing from his game!

Along with talent, pace, desire, positional sense etc etc

Thought the comments on aluko sounded more like what Gourlay would have been telling PC tbh

edit: Jlow has posted the full transcript now and it reads a bit better. PC not really hiding the fact that he is playing sh!t

I have absolutely no doubt that this is the case.

Maybe if and when Clement writes an autobiography we might find out what is really going on.

no clause, but sure Gourlay is putting the pressure on to play him and make his big signing look less of an absolute disaster than we all know it is

Team

Jaakkola
Yiadom
Moore
Bacuna
Baldock
Swift
McCleary
Ilori
Meite
Blackett
Kelly

Subs

Legg
Gunter
Aluko
Meyler
Sims
McNulty
Rinomhota

Surely can't have both keepers crocked now can we???

Barrow also?

How much of this selection is injury driven and how much is desperation?

Swift wide left and midfield overrun. These games should have some form of warning like weather forecasts get.
