Once upon a time . Sorry , I don’t get this Swift needs a break , I don’t see that being young and spending your entire week maintaining your fitness then playing 90 minutes of football tires you out, even 2 games a week should not be a hardship . After all there are amateurs that play 2 games on a weekend, after being at work all week , doing a full days work , not a couple of hours a day .


Some refreshing common sense here.

I am only dropping Swift because I think he needs a break, his form has dipped in recent games and lets be honest, he has earnt a break.

Out for this as I’ll be in Lithuania freezing my bollocks off and getting rat arsed.

I reckon we could get something from it though.

tidus_mi2 Obviously want Reading to win every game but if we lost I do echo the sentiments that at least it means West Brom keep pace with Bournemouth who for me are possibly the most unlikeable team in the Championship right now.

In a league with Millwall, Cardiff, Sheffield United, and Neil Warnock’s Middlesbrough? I wouldn’t even have Bournemouth in the top six.

That said I would put West Brom as one of the least dislikable, only competitors would be the Barnsleys and Peterboroughs of the world.

Neil Warnock who hasn't been Middlesbrough manager for over a month?

I think we could get a point here.

WBA are a good team but they're not exactly flying at the moment, and if we start well I think we'll stay in the game. Could even nick a win.

There have been two confirmed Covid cases at #WBA - and Valerien Ismael says there could be a third - ahead of facing #ReadingFC

Valerian Ismael is a fraud who won't last long beyond Christmas.

The bookies have exposed themselves massively here by pricing us at 6/1 and I shall be taking advantage.

Interesting* to see if they are players and if so if any more have to isolate. There are a couple of fairly anti-vax players in their squad.

never quite understood why we call a manager a 'fraud'? Does it just mean rubbish in this context?

Well he refused to shake Pauno`s hand at the end of our game at Barnsley last season, if we can upset him again I will take that.

Refusing to shake Pauno's hand I can understand :wink: but Ismael also refused to shake that nice Mr John O'Shea's hand, and it was at that moment I took Valerian off my Christmas card list...

WBA getting scared of the ‘ding?

How many do they need before the game is called off?

Just a head’s up for anyone going on the 10.15am cross country train from Reading to Birmingham New St - it’s been CANCELLED.

In this sense he has done nothing to warrant that job and is having a fine go at making a balls up of it. I really think we can inflict damage on them tomorrow

Could go for the bet, these 2 or 3 out for West Brom could end up being very important to the result, or utterly insignificant. Can't really tell as the Baggies are keeping it very quiet.
