Reading Fan Chat – Reading v Fulham

As always, friendly greetings from daib0 and guys & gals on the Reading ‘Royals Rendezvous’ forum. Close season has come and gone, and we’re business as usual again.

So onto Saturday’s game – and I wondered if I could have a few views from yourselves to inform the members on my forum. Anyone can say what they like about the game, but here I’d like to you all a few pointers which will surely help us in the Thames Valley! So here goes – just a few basic easy things:



Here are my specific questions for you -



A]
* Fulham to many of us were an unlikely candidate for Premier relegation last season – did it come as a shock? I mean to say, we in Reading didn’t really expect too much the previous season so relegation wasn’t too unexpected really, but Fulham were a well established Premier club, unlike us …



B]
* From what you have seen this season; is the Championship a more difficult proposition to handle than you could have at first imagined? Having said that, I’m conscious we’ve only played five games – and after 5 games just last season Blackpool were well clear at the top and look what happened to them. And the previous year when Reading won the Championship (2012-13) when we were ourselves pen-ultimate after six games. So I’m not trying to knock you at all here, it’s early days yet, just wondered how you saw it!


C]
* A quick guess forward from now – with premier league experience so recently do you think that you’ll be able to make a springboard from now on (or rather, after our game together!) ?


D]
* Any notable changes to your squad in the summer?


E]
* Any game in the Championship this season which you particularly look forward to? If so, against whom … and why?


F]
* To Reading now – do you think they are of ‘play-off’ quality? How do you view us in a few words?


G]
* How do you see Saturday’s game going? Will you be fired up, will you be nervous, will the team respond? Could you leave me a score prediction?


As always … any snippet quoted will be fully credited with the member user name + forum.


All the best lads …
