bob fleming Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 17 minutes ago, RevidgeBlue said: People will no doubt shout at me for labelling this as a "must win" game tonight but we need to start getting into the habit of winning our home games and I also think we need to be looking at a minimum of four points from the next 2 home games. Brentford are flying at the moment and that will be an exceptionally tough test. This looks by far the more likely proposition. Six points and eleven points from five games would of course be dreamland. I know what you’re saying Rev, but 5 points from 9, mid table after 3 games, with 129 points left to play for. It’s not how I’d define a “must win” game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chemosabby Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 i fancy us to do better against the tougher outfits. Don't know about tonight with their newish line up,would take a draw. But reckon we'll win Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim mk2 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Victory tonight would put us in the top 6 if other results go our way. So while beating Reading is not a "must-win" it's would be a big confidence boost for players and fans to see us so high in the table this early in the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neal Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Totally different test for us tonight than last weekend. Hull forwards weren't particularly mobile and Reading will have lots more pace in Barrow, Sims and Aluko... Which worries me against Evans, Smallwood and Mulgrew who aren't particularly quick. Can see a score draw here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong butI think that is what Rev is getting at So based on that yeah must win. In terms of over the season not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewood Ace Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) That must be one of the worst benches we have ever had. Waggott, Mowbray or whoever is in charge of transfers need to pull their finger out and bring some players in, other than Downing and potentially Travis that bench is not good enough for League 1 football.

Travis is clearly a decent prospect but hardly someone you’d call on when needing a breakthrough/chasing a game. As I say, pitiful and illustrates just how badly we need reinforcements.

Backroom Tom Posted August 22, 2018 Backroom Share Posted August 22, 2018 Tonight could have been a big night for Palmer with Dack out. As others have said three games and a couple of knocks in we look scarily short of quality in depth. Barrow on the bench for them could be intimidating for tired legs later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherry Blue Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Nuttall's on the bench but was he playing for U23s on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
