Reading to be docked points ?

[Nobby_Barnes]

BREAKING NEWS Sportsfans, from my sauce this evening....
Reading have allegedly failed to adhere to a business plan agreed with the EFL the last time they were docked points, they face a 6 point deduction...

Surely will affect them on Saturday, they would drop into the relegation battle....
Boro 5 Reading 0

Let's wipe all their results from this year's fixtures including our hideous trip to Berkshire.

Assuming Lumley can’t play on Saturday how bad is their backup keeper?

Assuming Lumley can’t play on Saturday how bad is their backup keeper?

Well... how bad must he be!
(I guess he must give away two goals per game, rather than just one).

Did we not specify he had to play?

How are Sheffield United doing with that sort of thing?

If we didn't specify it, we should of done

Wow the broadsheets are now reporting it, we really are ahead of the curve guys

Opportunity missed!

We know the script. Hapless reserve keeper has a worldy.

We missed a trick there. We should have inserted a clause insisting that he play against us! [Edit: should have read all the earlier posts. Doh! ]

I rewatched the FA cup vs Spurs highlights yesterday. It reminded me that Lumley kept us in that game including a save from the last kick of the match which was an unacknowledged worldie. His reaction speed and awareness to save that deflection after 130 minutes on the pitch really is top class. Lumley has massive faults with technique and judgement that mean he can't play reliably at this level but he is capable of reaction saves that would test a Premier league keeper.

Always feel a bit dodgy with Reading. Have had some stinkers against them in the past. And that big galoot Carroll is there

Down in the dumps on Saturday, to be taken apart

Followed by a resilient home performance showing the spirit in the camp.
