Reading picked up their form recently. Have won 5 of their last 6 games. Great time to be playing them...

[Hutcho 8,443]

I think it actually is, we seem to do good against teams who're on good form.

And besides, I think we'll win this...all we need to do is get our selection right and turn up.

Easier said than done, but i do agree for the most part.

Where do I sart?......

MUST WIN AND PLAY LIKE MEN!

We didn't seem to do so well against Swansea or Southampton recently and both were in good form...

Start Ba and hopefully Luiz if he is fit in Lampards place. Rest will take care of itself. Well hopefully.

Hope is the only thing we have right now...

I doubt he'll be fit which means another 90 minutes of Lampard/Ramires.

Cech, Azpi and Ba back, Ivanovic back in the middle with JT and Marin alongside Mata and Oscar.

[OneMoSalah 8,609]

Stats means nothing when your drawing with teams like Brentford in my opinion. They could win 5-0 if we play like we did today

Oh fuck... Ramires is a good player to have due to energy and stamina but can be hopeless in possession and if Lamps does what he did today and played absolute pish then we are fucked. Along with Marko Marin who was pathetic for most of what I seen too...... we could be fucked........

Geeez. You must have graduated from the same school as @Rmpr...

[Hutcho 8,443]

If i was reading i would pay someone to go fuck their pitch up as we have shown that we struggle when the surface isn't ideal.

[Rmpr 8,977]

HAHAHAHAHA (out of likes, all your fault, give me more likes pleeease)

We are right and you know that!

Any other team would struggle trying to pass on that pitch at Griffin Park today, not just us.

I've not graduated.........

true, the point still applies.

[Jase 43,479]

true, the point still applies.

Don't necessarily think we struggled with the pitch. Yes, it wasn't ideal but can't be used as an excuse for giving away possession so cheaply. If Brentford can cope with it, then surely we can.
