Kopparberg Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Wednesday don’t really ‘smash’ teams, even when we play some good stuff. Probably be 1-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anlaby Owl Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Think it depends on our approach. If we are to go for it and achieve any sort of objective this season I think it will be 0-2 or more. On the other hand if we are going to be cautious of away games, sit back and hope for an opportunity at some point, the result would be anyone's guess. I don't see any evidence from preseason games suggesting the latter. For that reason I'm REALLY confident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulcinella Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Why the pessimism? Our performances in the closed season have shown a lot of promise, and the new guys that we've got in add well to our squad. Yes we let go of Hooper & Matias, but Hooper was injured much of the time - and our strikers have been doing fine without him. And as for Matias, he was hot and cold. Come on guys, up the Owls. We're going to storm the league! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FF is going to be a big miss though. He's hardly kicked a ball for us in 2 years, so to be fair we've got used to getting by more often than not without him. We'll be OK and hopefully the lack of pressure with everyone not experiencing much of us will help us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could go either way proves what a great player he is or gets sent off. Wonder what the odds on a FF red card are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place worse is Slough. Careful now,you'll have some TV anchorman who's from there blubbering live on air 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 On paper, we have a better team than Reading. It's very hard to call when you're going into a new season without an actual manager. Still - I think we have enough about us to get a positive result tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrysgame Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Think a draw on this one although need to be turning teams like Reading over if we have aspirations to get into the top 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you not think that if we have any ideas of doing well we should be getting results at places like Reading, luton, blackburn, Wigan. Look at last years start away.

GMOwl72 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Will be a good test tomorrow and an indication of where we currently are at. Reading had a poor season last season and are unfancied again this one. Away at a ground at which we generally struggle. First game of season though so a great chance to put a marker down and attract a quality manager (can dream!) Lets hope we are prepared and up for it from the off.

It does have the feeling of Preston or Wigan to it. 2 away games on the first day of the season in a row where we've gone down and not competed at all.

Last season is gone, has no bearing on tomorrow's match, our record at Reading ain't all that, I just don't get this almost patronising attitude toward those teams you mention, we win we'll have deserved to, we lose we'll have deserved to, I ain't gunna be losing my shyte after one game, good bad or indifferent,There'll be 45games left, it's what we do during those that'll determine how good a season we will have had. Calm everything down yeh, good luck with that one. You wait and see, when Bullen announces the team for tomorrow "we're weak at the back, wtf, Palmers playing, we're weak on the right, that's to open, that's to defensive" blah, blah, bleeding blah. There's no such thing as calm on here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it's more the case the bloke who runs the Wednesday sing on Facebook rang out of comments from Reading fans which suit his agenda of creating debate comments etc. The Wednesday sing is the talksport of Wednesday social media group.
