Big night tonight

[picasso]

Getting a bit anxious if truth be told. I know it's early days but have a feeling our performance tonight will give a much clearer indication of our season to come.

I think it's a home win. 3-0 Gabby x2 and a Bacuna own goal

You do realise Bongo we are the away team, so you think 3-0 to Reading with 2 gabby own goals and a Bacuna 3rd??

[bongosdad]

Well that puts a different spin on things as our away form is terrible.
1-0 villa win with a gabby header

Has Gabby ever scored with a header?

[bongosdad]

Off the top of my head (no pun intended) at old trafford when we won 1-0 and the perfect hatrick against Man city with left foot, right foot and then his head.
Those were the days he has service from young and Barry.

[Exiledvillan]

He got one at the sty also, last 5 min winner. He was professional in those days, many, many moons ago.

That was gold Bro Bongo, pure gold.

A loss against a decent Reading is not the end of the world. The performance is what counts and can our players rebound? Remember we played well at Leicester and lost 3-2 thanks to bad subbing by Sherwood and Guzan at the end, but instead of looking at the positives there was a woe is me attitude and we went into a tail spin that propelled Leicester to the top and usto the bottom. These players are more experienced, so I expect an angry fighting performance win or lose and then watch out the next 6 teams we face.... otherwise watch out it's gonna be a long season.

[bongosdad]

Well Gabbys on the bench anyway.

Johnstone
de laet Chester Terry Taylor
Onomah Whelan Hourihane Thor Green
Hogan

Gabby comes on with 25 minutes to go and wins the game with a header

Bongo was right about the first own goal.
