Reading v Fulham Match Thread

[Barry the bird boggler]

Thankfully Fulham play Liverpool.

Don't get excited about that, with games coming up v Chelsea in the EC Semis Liverpool are likely to do the same disgraceful thing they did last year at Fulham (and probably at Birmingham a week later) by not playing a full strength side.

And just as I said last year the FA/PL should not stand for teams doing that and dock serious amounts of points.

What annoyed me about the after match interviews was this excuse of complacency.

We thought we'd roll over Fulham easily did we? They beat Everton a few weeks ago I believe. Good result.

Complacency is a bad excuse and unprofessional and I'm surprised Steve allowed that to creep in.

Not until 4th place is secured they won't.

Well yesterday was appalling.....the result was terrible, but i was more worried about the performance which surely was the worst home performance for at least 3 years.....Fulham may not survive but theyll battle to the end.....its between Reading, Bolton and Brum for the last spot.....with our crap away record i dont see us getting anything at Arsenal and Wigan, so we may have to rely on the last home game..,,and maybe something from the Derby game.

I was given a player of the season voting card before yesterdays match and struggled to think who should win.....by the end of the game, i knew....the Crossbar should win it.....but seriously i decided to mimic the players performance yesterday....I couldnt be bothered.

I still reckon the Royals will perform the miracle of staying up.

Yeah, so do I.

I wish there was a time-machine so we could play them again, knowing that we cannot underestimate them and that we have to play well to get a result.
Everything's so clear in retrospect.
