Reading next up....

Gonna be a tricky game this one, don't have the best of records against reading and will really miss Billy, would be happy with a point but if we play like we did on saturday against the blunts where we didn't have to get out of second gear then i would like to think we can get a much overdue 3 points...gonna be a nervous 90 minuites watching the scores come in.. Prediction...1-1...

Prediction 2-1 to the Rovers...........bring it on.

Now that Jimmy O is back and if we can keep that balance in midfield, it's possible that we can now do more than consolidate.........time to push on.

Spoke to Brian earlier, he has promised to try and bring 3 points back and not leave them in a Wetherspoons in Reading

Im going for 3-1 to Rovers,1 from Copps and a brace from a new Striker which Sod has superbly managed to keep quiet until warming up on the Madjeski pitch.

I hope so, this could make it more interesting especially on top of the Mills v. Mills scenario.

Incidentally Happy 21st. Joshua, please make sure your birthday is a memorable one forall the right reasons.

It lookas as though Sean O'Driscoll has drawn a blank in his quest to bring in a striker on loan for this afternoon's trip to Reading. O'Driscoll had been hoping to bring in reinforcements to his squad to compensate for the loss of record signing Billy Sharp, who pulled up with a hamstring injury last Saturday. As it turns out, the injury-jinxed Steve Brooker may well get the opportunity to show what he can do, as he has recovered from an adductor injury which has kept him off the bench in the last couple of games. Due to lack of match practice, we expect O'Driscoll to name James Hayter to start the game, witth Brooker getting a place on the bench.
Better news comes with the potential return of James Chambers and Wayne Thomas, who have both trained all week after recovering from knee injuries. Adam Lockwood seems to have recovered from his foot injury and will be in the squad today, but Rovers will definitely be without Simon Gillett and George Friend, who both have cruciate knee injuries and are likely to be out for at least a further month. However, they have a big doubt over the availability of midfielder Martin Woods, who has had a sore groin for the last few weeks. At least it doesn't sound too serious, with O'Driscoll explaining: "He's not trained all week so he's extremely doubtful. He had a pain-killing injection last Saturday and that might be an option, but we don't really want to go down that road of people having to have injections, day in, day out. Martin has been back to see the specialist, who said the operation was a success and the tendon's fine, it is just one of those things which is going to take time to get strong again to be able to withstand game after game."
Reading welcome back winger Jimmy Kebe after he missed last week's match against Burnley with a knee injury, and midfielder Jem Karacan should be fit to play despite picking up a knock at Turf Moor.
Missing for today's match due to injuries will be defenders Brynjar Gunnarsson and Julian Kelly, as will midfielder Jake Taylor.

All these injections will turn our team into a set of junkies.
We will still beat them.......2-1.
