Derby Match Thread

[Arch]

No Bikey is a disgrace

And who would you leave out to accommodate the the one-paced, red-mist liability?!? Apart from the Welsh right-winger, I am struggling to think of anyone else in the starting XI who could do worse than the Bike.

Or did you miss out a comma?

You're descending into senility, old friend.

[rotherwick_royal]

apparently they're playin 3-5-2, with gally out wide... hopefully a different formation to what we expected won't oxf*rd us over again

Derby with 3 at the back

How much have we paid Jewell for that one?

If we do actually attack I can see it being more of a 5-3-2

[Fitzroy]

Australian TV think we'll beat Derby and Fulham will struggle/fail to beat Pompey.

The nerves are really on edge now.

[loyalroyal4life]

cant really say doyle should be in as attacking option ahead of oster cos both are as unlikely as each other to score.


If we went 3 upfront then that would be diff.

Maybe if we are chasing the game then could put bikey in for harper and doyle upfront instead of oster

Cant believe there is no rosenior or bikey


It is 1 step forward ( lita in) and 2 steps back (rosenior and bikey omitted) from STEVIE COPP

can you try to give us some updates as the game goes on? i know it's a pain, but there aren't many ways of following it closely... would be massively appreciated..

No Bikey because Coppell would be going back on his word.

I am genuinely not too worried, because i think Portsmouth will toss all over Fulham and we will ease past Derby.

Today John Oster will become a READING LEGEND??????

He already is!

He rivals Paul Holsgrove for the award of the most 3rd most pointless player ever to appear in our 1st team. (Sean Evers and Paul Brayson occupy the top 2 positions)

A small (potential) boost for Reading; SKY show James McFadden limping in the warm-up at St Andrews.

i hope you're right. i'm trying desperately not to get my hopes up, so i might avoid the despair in a couple of hours

[winchester_royal]

Coppells good decision to pick Marek, cancelled out by the unbelievable decisions to drop Bk and Rosenior

Oh well......

[TomTheRoyal]

Wally Downes on SSN a minute ago doesn't think the team has been found out because of lack of signings

[cmonurz]

No Bikey!

F*ck me. What the hell is Coppell up to? And where is Rosenior?

Wally had a nice tan going on

Was that Spencer Prior, Simon Hill or even the ginger monster (ex Blackburn, West Ham & Southampton - name escapes me)?
I'm surprised they're talking about anything other than Chelsea/ManU.

Cmon!

Nope - it was poor defending at crucial times.
Etc.

I think you are doing Mark Reilly a disservice.
