Tremendous support for an evening match down the M4. 3000 gasheads
With the home side struggling at bottom I suspect they will embrace a strong away support who will help with their financial problems.
I am fully expecting an away win and another at struggling Carlisle United by the weekend also expecting a new manager appointment.
Evans to score tonight along with Collins 2 nil a rare clean sheet is that ultra confident or what.

upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/11/Reading_FC.svg/180px-Reading_FC.svg.png V upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/47/Bristol_Rovers_F.C._logo.svg/200px-Bristol_Rovers_F.C._logo.svg.pngWe have played Reading 90 times, W31, D19, L40, Biggest wins all away 0-6, 1-5, 3-5, that 0-6 away win was our last victory over them in January 1999. This meeting tonight is the first game between us for nearly 23 years... Reading FC were founded on Christmas Day 1871, are known as the Royals or the historic Biscuitmen.. They played at Elm Park for 102 years but now play at the Madejski Stadium, currently known as Select Car Leasing Stadium, which has a capacity of 24,161.. Manager Rubén Sellés is 40 years old, has managed Universitat de València, Southampton and now Reading since the 26th June this year.. Reading's biggest rivals were Aldershot Town, now it's Oxford and Swindon, which has become known as the "Didcot Triangle".. Notable past managers were: Harry Johnston, Roy Bentley, Ian Branfoot, Steve Coppell & nobody since Brian McDermott in 2013 has managed in 100 games. Reading are at the bottom of L1 having lost 5 straight league games, while BRFC are in 15th place, we should bag 3 points tonight playing free-flowing football...

I'm always worried when Gasheads confidentiality predict a win. We have a long history of not winning games we should have won.
That aside, I have a feeling the players will be up for it, new manager on the horizon and all that.
Apparently, Nick Anderton is sat on the bench as a guest tonight, which is a nice touch. The players should be motivated by that alone.
2-1 to The Gas.
COYB!!!

I'm hoping Jeff's right. I hope for 2-1 Gas, but I fear 2-1 Reading, and I don't know why, as things Gas are mostly positive in the short-term now. I'm going for 2-1 Gas, what the hell.

New manager bounce, bouncing of a good win and with a bouncing away support, has to be a bouncy away win. Ifollow on. Cup of tea on head board. Sorted.

Loose clearance from Cox nearly got us into trouble then.
Shot from Collins who got clear, Gas starting lively!
Bit worried we've been doing some hoofball.....

We need a throw-in coach. We never seem to have any options at our throw-ins.

Should not all full-backs be capable of delivering a throw in in front of forward players' heads?

Close by Martin at near post, good combination of passes.
If we can keep that up, goals should come.
Cox worrying me at the moment, hope he settles quickly.

We seem to be conspiring to give the ball away with some hospital passes!

We've created more chances for Reading than Reading.

Finlay fantastic cross field pass, Thomas dribbling, Collins unlucky with the shot. Lot better passing...

Really poor goal. Woods loses ball on edge area. Poor display do far. Cox could also have cost us 2 goals with unforced errors gifting the ball to their players just outside our box

Our throw ins are useless, giving the ball away and Reading nearly score!
Ridiculous, what the hell is happening!
