***official reading vs city match thread***

[Elvistheblue]

Ian Cheeseman just tweeted that Komps & Nasti left out due to tiredness. Make of that what you will.

[Saul Goodman]

I dont mind the selection too much. There were rumours going around before the FA cup loss and sacking that we were going to put out a squad with a number of youngsters to give them some experience in the league.

[CTID Hants]

Richards to captain, pleased for him. But no centre backs on the bench?? Odd, very odd!

Now Reading are playing with the shackles off .... Beat Fulham 4- 2 the other day, just sayin....

[Blue Since 76]

Tiredness for Komps and Nasti according to Cheesy from what City told him

[Swales4ever]

Hmmm you don't drop your captain........

He wasn't injured........

I very much hope Kompany stays.

Yap. too early for headaches, can be anything with nothing to worry about..
If You gets too tense, contact any member of the resurgent army of the haters, they were sure he was the main leader of the so called mutiny, so that he should be over the moon....

Not much impressed by the line up, to say the least: not even Rodwell on show.... a tad of old naivety seems resurfaced all the sudden.
Pathetic management of a crisis self generated for political purposes.

I didn't see too many youngsters there.

These players that have been struggling with the manager have now got what they wanted. They have now got no excuse not to perform.

I can't speak for anyone else, but for now I am prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt that the problem was the manager. However if they can't be arsed tonight and lose to Reading straight after losing to Wigan, doubts will start to creep in that the problem was not the manager after all.

The Blues travelling down there will deserve a fucking lot better than they got on Saturday from certain individuals (I don't think names need naming) and if they don't get it, fans will be quite justified in turning on them.

I expect City to win and win well.

+1

+2.
I'm expecting a bloody good response and win with at least three goal margin! COME ON CITY let's go & get that 2nd place

[Hazy2]

Ferguson has not ben reunited with Kidd has he, crazy.

[Green & Blue]

Subs are panti, kolarov, garcia, rodwell, nasri, dzeko, maicon.

Should have started rodwell imo

I was hoping for Rodders to start.

So was i

Vinny and nasti tired?? Hmm yet the rest are absolutely fine

No Nasri so theres your theory out the window.

[Saul Goodman]

Richards to captain, pleased for him. But no centre backs on the bench?? Odd, very odd!

Could move Richard to center back and bring on Maicon or drop Milner back if need be.

Correct. But my point was: it was rumoured that we were going to play with a "weakened" lineup for these next two games so, if anything, this lineup is better than what might have been.

No Nasri so theres your theory out the window.

This is all fooked up. Sadbad few days for a club that should have the staff to have avoided such a mess, No Captain or his best signing will only add fuel to a fire.

[Moonchesteri]

please no. do I even need to say why?

[ross.mcfc]

I hope Kompany has been dropped so he does not have to answer any questions after the game.

[Cit.revenge]

Barry is there :)

[Lee_R]

Is this on sky or anything? I'm ok Ive got a stream.. just asking.

[stevefromdonny]

what I want to see, the players putting a shift in

Haha, no way mate. Maicon is dreadful. I'd prefer Richards in the center with Milner on the right if we have to mess with the center halves.

[judythehippy]

Brian Kidd in charge...oh dear.
Judging off his Blackburn days.....still.
Think we'll win 2-1.
Agreed though, still annoyed how the club have treated Roberto.
