They've only won 1 from last 5, losing last 3. Fans on Stams case and not happy bunnies. Great opportunity to get a rare win, but worried where the goals are going to come from. I'm going for another draw.
No predictions. I am useless at seeing the future. The past is a bit of a blur to be honest & the present is an f-ing headache.
Haven't won any of our last 6 meetings at Oakwell v Reading http://www.soccerbase.com/teams/head_to_head.sd?team_id=208&team2_id=2125
0-0 First half it will be 1 up front, no shots on target, if a chance does drop to Bradshaw he's too knackered to do anything after chasing lost causes for 45 mins. Second half we're too inexperience/naive/scared to change the tactics incase they don't work and we lose by the odd goal. Players thrown on with 15 mins to go who are criticised for doing nowt. Groans of get thi money art Chien as folk are leaving after 3 and a half years of not seeing a goal from open play.
I'm choosing to temporarily suspend reality and believe the sh!te old footballing maxim that 'decisions even themselves out over the course of the season' (or year in this case). Therefore we will win 5-0, all penalties, all for fouls on Tom Bradshaw, all at the Ponte end. I've been in t'pub since 11am.
They've beaten us 5 out the last 6 times at Oakwell, beat us with ease a month back and we can't score for toffee. 0-1 loss
