Swans v Reading

[CroJack]

Let's hope we play some good passing and attacking football tonight and earn another three points. No exuses, the new Liberty pitch is ready.

We are unbeaten in our last 13 games against Reading in all competitions, and they have a lot of players out with injuries. Lucas Joao is probably out tonight and he is their most dangerous attacker (scored 11 goals this season). Meite (scored 6 goals) and Puscas (scored 2 goals) are definitely out.

We have kept clean sheet in 6 out of our last 7 home games.

Big evening in the Championship this evening. Where four of the top six do battle, Initially Brentford take on B/mouth, a result that could be critical to us. Then two & a half hours later we meet Reading at the Liberty, once again the result being critical, we need these points if we are to stay in contention. I would assume the squad has had a run out to accustom them to the new pitch. I think we can do this.

The Brentford Bournemouth match is shaping up to be a crucial one.

If you’re a top club in any league, these are the games and situations that you live for. We play today, we win today, has to be the attitude .

I’d be happy with a draw between the two Bs. And a win for us puts nicely ahead.

The Brentford Bournemouth match is shaping up to be a crucial one.

Yes, as i said previously it would be good to see B/mouth lose their game in hand ,but to gain any benefit from that we need to win ours.

 

[CroJack]

Reading injuries to key players:



Still, they have a good team. This is the line-up from their last match against Luton,
which they won 2:1.

The Brentford Bournemouth match is shaping up to be a crucial one.

A draw between them would be the perfect result for us.

A win tonight would be great for us as a number of teams around us in the table lost points last night. If we are to be regarded as credible promotion contenders then three points would be a great step in that direction.

Let's hope we can royaly stuff Reading tonight, it will be the icing on our Xmas cake if we do.
I expect a fast , open game with chances for both teams. We undoubtedly have the better defence and hopefully we should come out on top .

 

[CroJack]

Did you know that we conceded 6 goals from open play in 20 games? That's an incredible record.

 

[KVetch]

That was an amazing save from Brentford wow

 

[CroJack]

Brentford 1:1 Bournemouth. So far so good.

 

[Jackflash]

Brentford playing some nice football.

 

[The Blobster]

Smith instead of Dhanda, otherwise same starting 11 tonight.

 

[Jackflash]

Brentford gone 2-1 up @ 80 mins.

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Smith instead of Dhanda, otherwise same starting 11 tonight.

Could argue that we're starting on the back foot. Is Dhanda OK to play and just being rested? I hope he's not injured

 

[Jackflash]

Brentford gone 2-1 up @ 80 mins.

2-1 FT. good game.

 

[KVetch]

2-1 FT. good game.

That was a decent match though I hate Thomas Frank for last season. Little weasel manager. We can still climb into 2nd tonight.

 

[The Blobster]

Reading with 11 men behind the ball and we have no guile in midfield to break them down.

 

[The Blobster]

spectacular from Ayew but over the bar, 15 mins for our first shot at goal, neither keeper has had to make a save yet.
