Reading vs Derby (3/8/18)

No wins pre-season either, including defeats to AFC Wimbledon and Eastleigh.

Why are we not favourites to go down?

Good luck Sonko

Derby have looked much better under Lampard/Morris according to my Derby supporting mate

Rowett was so boring he didn't even renew his season ticket (thought he'd still there) lol, he's not bought another season ticket but has been to watch them in both home pre season games and said it was a breath of fresh air, slick passing, high pressing etc, not sure if they can sustain that over a season though? I remember both our play off seasons under Billy Davies being similar, we'd be great for the first half of the season but fade away through sheer tiredness.

Reading have looked woeful apparently, but it is the first game and I've take a punt on Reading pulling of a shock win. Sunderland last season beat Derby 4-1 at their place so anything can happen

But it might be worth watching Derby tonight just to see how improved they are (style wise)

Sonko

You think clement is the right man?

Derby fans said he's dull as dish water and his style of football is the same as him as well

He also brags about having signed Ronaldo memorabilia

Whats the best bets tonight lads I am going for derby and over 2.5 booms

Reading | Mannone, Yiadom, Richards, McShane (c), Ilori, Meyler, Kelly, Swift, Aluko, Barrow, Böðvarsson.

Subs: Walker, O’Shea, Bacuna, Baldock, Meite, Clement, McNulty.

Reading to win 3-1

Derbys defence don't look great, 2 aging centre backs to run against for Reading

Still relying on Keogh Derby

I'm quite miffed they haven't at least got Marriott on the bench Derby, spent all summer chasing him and he's left at home in favor of having Bennett on the bench

Evans also not even in the squad, and they spent 2m on him last week? think he was your lots wasn't he sonko?

Derby do like to spend money on below average players

I mean it was you guys that convinced them to fork out 3m for Blackman (6 months left on his contract). he's not scored a competitive goal for them either

I mean its bad enough spending 3m for that goal stat alone, but he only had 6 months left on his contract

Absolutely bonkers

Its times like this where I'd be chuffed if the other team plays the party pooper

The thorning over Lampard is quite nauseating

I rest my case regarding Keogh, the bloke is a total liability

made that mistake in 2014 and is still there to this day

Reading have signed 2 new strikers who you would think are better, daddi is just getting his loyal start of the season.


Derby striker just broke the electronic advertising board with his shot

Tyical Championship War of Attrition.

They've spent even more money as well lol

If I was their owner I'd jack in as a bad job tbh

Derby look like Reading under Jaap Stam, passing along the back for no progression.

Very poor from Derby but Reading dont look like scoring.

That was horrible

They were crowing about this high tempo, pressing style, movement all over the pitch

I know its only 45 minutes but there's no high tempo, certainly no pressing, and fe** all movement off the ball hence the pis** passing around

I'd be livid if I was their owner, every single one of his managers produces this c***

They've got one of the highest budgets in the league and they can't even find a proper centre back pairing, their full backs are woeful as well

Its quite funny, but then you realise kids are going hungry so rich wa***** in suits can p*** money up the wall on a toy set

Clement tactics have pressed the Derby back 4 high up the pitch and it is working well, Lampard has stuck with it so far.
