    woo hoo, get me - anyway, been talking to some mates down there and they are totally downbeat about their home form. Apparently the fans at home go along nowadays expecting a draw at best and the atmos is *****.</p>

    They reckon that if we get at them early doors then it could work in our favour - will we do that ? Will trying to contain them have the same effect ? I know football doesn't work like you'd want it to but we're going to a team apparently low on confidence and quite accepting of a play off spot, might be no better time to play them in a positive manner. Over to you Simon....</p>

    5-5-0 formation anyone ?

    Without trying to sound like Davey, I think the longer we keep it at 0-0 it could work in our favour as the fans and players can start to become more agitated. Then again that maybe complete ballax.

    Totally agree though that it's almost the perfect time to be playing them.

    Team changes at Reading

    In an effort to push for the playoffs, Steve Copells Reading have changed things around for the visit of Barnsley on Saturday.

    With their home form being diabolical he has decided to change the team around by playing a goalkeeper and ten dustbins. He has heard from a good source that Barnsley make a habit of losing when defending a 0-0 scoreline. So as this is the opening score, he has decided to go for a point, at least.

    Simon Davey comments were. He may still play JCR as a sweeper,because sweepers tend to like dustbins although Copell is keeping the tactical position of the bins to himself. But Mr Davey is bound to go for 5-4-1. keeping a solid back line to avoid defeat.

    Mr Davey has yet to name his goalkeeper for Saturday as there is some contention as to wether he will play Muller or Steele. But to avoid upsetting either he may decide to play a dustbin in goal.

    Darren Moore more like mini skip than dustbin.

    We are the team that always loses when the other team is on a bad run, hasnt scored in x number of games or a manager is in trouble of losing their job - ive no doubt we will be beaten tomorrow - sadly.
