I'm looking forward to it, but haven't been following Reading to have any idea of what we're up against. As long as we go out positive, I'll enjoy it, regardless of the points result.
So what you guys think will happen? Reading don't appear to be that strong on paper, what is the best bet for this?
Can you win or will it be a draw? MA is a pretty good tipster, where's your money on, or do you advise a skip and wait for until you've seen more?
I'm waiting to see the Asian Handicap, if Derby are offering more than 0.5, I might take that handicap.
Or maybe the total goals over/under. Do you see more than goals in this?

Rams win in an 8 goal thriller, recovering from 3-0 down at half time. Hat trick for Wilson, one for Pike and a final one for Walker.
Reading. No wins in pre season. Their final game was against Palace. Possession 49-51. Shots 10-23. Much of their possession was in their own half and they relied on counter attacks. Anybody would think Paul Clement was their manager
They lost 0-2. The Palace goals were an 86th minute penalty that also saw the 85th minute dismissal of a Reading player for the foul and the second came in the 94th.
Bus parking, backward and sideways passing counter attacking is what we can expect from them. The sort of tactics we have struggled to combat in previous seasons. If we can get a quick goal they will have to come out and our speedy "front 5" can cause havoc. The longer it stays 0-0, the more confident they will become.
I'm going 0-2 and 3 points to Derby.
0-1 to Derby...spending the weekend with relatives in Wales...bad planning, they haven’t got Sky. Bugger...I look forward to MA’s joyful match report.
The bad planning would appear to have been set in motion long ago when you acquired relatives in Wales - especially if they happen to reside in the teetotal parts of the province, So that's you packed off to chapel on Sunday morning as well I guess, but I imagine they know how to handle you when you start going on about the 13 man poorer cousin of the rugby they love.
