Leeds (H) - Good Friday

Bring Back the SB does not speak for me

I really believe this game is critical and will make or break our season. I believe it has implications beyond that of merely 3 points. The reason is that I believe it will have an impact on West Ham who play their match straight after ours: Win and West Ham go into their game straight after us demoralised and will lose their match. Lose, and West Ham have everything to play for and will win their match. With us still to play Southampton anything but a win will cause a problem I feel. All opinions of course. We shall see.

LOLeeds fans AbROFLoard.

Its difficult to imagine them taking a liberal view of Turkish customs.

I actually heard some LOLeeds fans telling David Beckham "Hope your son dies of Cancer" in Eindhoven. This just 2 months after the said incident. Its very difficult to not to hate a club and its support when you hear things like that. Its hardly an isolated incident for them.

So, quite honestely, I couldnt give a shit what the the most hateful bunch of supporters plan on doing tomorrow. Just hope we stuff 'em.

Seconded.

Surely each and every match for all is critical at this stage of the season.
West Ham are away and have a good record, but with comments made by Allardyce about the support talking bollocks it will get interesting if they lose or even draw.

It is an important match, but I thought the most important one was the last one! Whatever happens, win or lose, West Ham will be spurned on. As they got nothing to lose from going for a win. Its not like they could lose their play-off place.

Leeds manager Neil Warnock will be forced into a defensive reshuffle due to injury, suspension and illness.

Defenders Darren O'Dea and Paul Connolly, plus midfielder Adam Clayton are suspended, while winger Aidy White could be ruled out for the rest of the season due to an ankle injury.

O'Dea will serve the second game of a two-match ban for reaching 10 yellow cards for the season, Connolly misses one game after his dismissal in last week's defeat to Watford and Clayton faces a two-match ban following his 10th booking of the campaign in the same match.

White is unlikely to feature again this season after sustaining an ankle injury against Watford and with two unnamed players suffering from a virus this week, Warnock will be struggling to name a 16-man squad.

Versatile youngster Zac Thompson may be included in the starting line-up, while defenders Leigh Bromby and Andy O'Brien could return to contention.

@ReadingFC #LUFC missing Darren O'Dea, Paul Connolly, Adam Clayton & Aidy White tomorrow, and possibly Robert Snodgrass through illness.

[AthleticoSpizz]

can we declare "war" on Argentina and ban Becchio from the game as well?

Au contraire! I'm hoping that they'll be thinking that they've nothing to gain from going for a win on the basis that we're be too far ahead and the automatic places are out of reach.

Losing Snodgrass as well would be a tidy bonus too. He's probably their best player, McCormack aside.

Could not sleep. Just getting a bit too excited about all this. Horrible dream we were in the Play-Off Final against Forest and it was just like watching old Reading:

Jobi shoots and goalkeeper parries, Hunt follows up and hit's the post from 6 yards, comes back out to Long and he puts it wide - typical Reading. Then a defensive cock up betweem Cumming and Feds, resulting in a Forest goal from 20 yards.. Terrible. Was also full of day trippers..

I keep thinking that by 19:00, we could be 7 pts clear, and this morning I realise that we could just as easily be a single point infront. I really hope today is GREAT Friday

[Ian Herring]

Cold heads. Surgical finishing. Get in front. Boss them out of it.

No complacency please.

Discipline.

Cheers.

[Gordons Cumming]

I thought they were a bit short of defenders and would have to bring in some youngsters, but Leigh Bromby and Andy O'Brien are no slouches.

They are

Minority of a clubs football fans letting the rest down. Leeds fans are passionate, but I'd hardly go call them scum, and as for whether the two lads were 'looking for it's only they will know. But the sad thing is, two football fans died that day, and if Leeds fans want to respect their anniversary then fair play to them, they are not asking for us to join in. I for one will give them a nod of respect, and support my club for the afternoon.

2-1 defeat

Can't get my head around the time difference at the moment - am waiting for match thred. I'm in sydney - trying to fight off sleep to stay up for the match. It's 7.40 pm here. When does it all kick off?
Prediction - 3-0 Reading and I have a headache all day Saturday having had no sleep.
