Are READING a threat ?..

[david in sweden]

I expcted them to be front runners this season but they have had a very poor start .

.only 4 points from 5 games.

 

First they signed Gorkyss - QPR and now the hot shot Le Fondre from Rotherham.

 

You must ask your self whether he can make the transition up TWO divisions and hold his form, but it certainly looks as if Reading are beefing up their squad. I shall keep an eye on them this season.

Depends if you consider Gorkss and Le Fondre better than the players they replaced in Mills and Long. They are "beefing up their squad" with Gorkss and Le Fondre because they just lost £12m worth of talent from it.

I think at least 50-60% of the teams in this league are a threat. Theres 12 or 13 teams that could challenge for the top 6. That why its so hard to predict, which makes it more exciting than the prem. I wont have my eye on anyone in particular.

A threat ......a serious contender who might stop us getting promotion ?

well if that's the answer, then maybe they were too dependent on them.

Reading will improve, as will Leeds, Birmingham, forest! Tough league

After today's result let's hope Forest don't start their improvement until after our next home game.

Reading will end in the top 6. They are very slow starters and then tend to go on a great run from December onwards. I think they are nmore likely to get a playoff place than us. As I have said all along mid table will do me with promotion next, but if we do go up then bonus!!
