£75 for 3 kids tickets and an adult - plus petrol - can't afford to keep doing this...

PLOLastic

Anyone else think Reading may have shown the toll from 3 premiership games in 7 days?

its tough on the lads especially in this demanding league

[Blue&White Mage]

things could be worse, we could be like tottenham

musn't lose hope, we've still got most points od promoted sides

yeh is ridiculous

its all over

again lack of composure by sodje at the last. in this league there is no way you can have a shakey debut....you get punished!!

Still only 1-NIL, so can't have been that shaky.

Heskey scored though.......

everyone's in the same boat though - if we're not fit this early into the season, what do you think we'll be like by the run-in?

[Sharpy]

I'm just not sure what the answer is - if we can't attract top quality players and we're not prepared to pay over the odds for anyone - we're pretty stymied I'd say.

exaclty my point.

Not quite,
Wigan have had 2 games in 7 days.

No. What I do think is that we've all been spoilt by the best season in the club's history and that we've only played three games in the Premiership and already won one. Take a deep breath and relax. What exactly were you all expecting?

[Royal Lady]

coppell needs to come out of playing retirement!

Having to play with ten men for much of Wednesday's match had to be tough and probably resulted in a less-than-efficient performance today. But HEY! We'll bounce back. Trust me I'm a Reading supporter...

[Chaney]

well thats as many games as we lost in the entire season last year, guess we got to start getting used to it again..but it ain`t easy

[RoyalBlue]

My gran is a better footballer than Emile Heskey!

so's mine and she's been dead 15 years.

I just wish we'd signed some grannies who could secure us three points!

Yes as I was just thinking ezxactly the same myself! It'll be easier from now on, very few midweek games which is good

[KC Royal]

Not only that, but Wigan have had a week off which we havent

[Royal Lady]

won't they have to play a midweek game when we don't then?

[Sharpy]

Not only that, but Wigan have had a week off which we havent

no excuse

[reading_lad]

this is desperate im sorry, blaming the fact wigan haven't played as mant games as us. It was their first home game, they outplayed us and deserved to win. we need to step our game up, but there is a whole season ahead of us

[KC Royal]

won't they have to play a midweek game when we don't then?

They were scheduled to play one of the teams in the Premiership who were involved in Europe this week, so theyve got a game in hand at some point yes.

[Chaney]

Not only that, but Wigan have had a week off which we havent

Thats rubbish, we`re in the big league now, we should be fit enough to compete, what really concerns me is if we get few or no points in the next two games its going to get really tough, we will be playing catch up for the rest of the season

[RoyalBlue]

Not only that, but Wigan have had a week off which we havent

Agreed. We are going to have to get used to playing against opponents with fresher legs as those with large squads have the luxury of being able to rest tiring players.
