Reading vist Deepdale on Saturday as the opening day fitures are reversed, have to say they are the surprise packet of this season under the Dutch manager Jaap Stam. They are fifth and are the only non Yorkshire side in the play off zone, they have a decent cushion as well being seven points clear from Fulham.
The Royals won the game at the Mad Stad 1-0 with a first half goal by John Swift, last time on the road they got a pounding at the Amex losing 3-0 although dominating possession they got caught on the break and suffered a bit of a tonking, away from home they have won at the home of Birmingham, Brizzle, Venky's and Wygan, Barnsley and Cardiff, actually won more than us away.
Squad wise Stam has brought in three decent loan signings Oxford, Grabban and Mutch, they are a fairly cosmopiltan bunch with speedy winger Roy Beerens beingb a big money signing in the summer, up front Yann Kermogant is still banging them in, quite a dangerous side this year.
Goingb back in history we did stuff them 18-0 on 27/1/1894 and no I wasn't there. Originally they were nick named the Biscuitmen due to the Huntley and Palmers factory in the town at that time.
If you can get hold of a copy of "the greatest player the world never saw", all about the lower league George Best who was called Robin Friday, a character if ever there was.
As for us would be surprised if there are many changes though we still probably won't have a right back who is fit doubt whether we'll see much of the ball so repeating the 18-0 scoreline could be difficult.
