Lucas Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I think Reading would be an awful inclusion to the PL which has been proved right on every occasion they have gone up. What do they add? Nothing. Mind you, they wouldn't be the only one's up there guilty of that. On the flip side, if Huddersfield don't go up, you feel that someone would almost certainly take Wagner off them and a couple players and that could turn them into one season wonders. Which would be good for all potential challengers next season. Plus it would be quite humorous to see them end up in the same league as us again after all that's happened. I guess in short, I really don't care. It'll be a tight game. 1-0 either way is a good shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toony Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Reading will be the best addition to the PL for us in terms of them being weaker than Huddersfield (my opinion), but probably over the course of the season Huddersfield deserve it more because of their style of play and winning run. Should be good anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted May 29, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted May 29, 2017 Agree with the hive mind. Can't think of many less exciting teams to come up than Reading. I don't actually think Huddersfield would be all that either but I know who I'm backing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted May 29, 2017 Author Administrator Share Posted May 29, 2017 Please be Huddersfield to win! Can't stand Reading in the Premier League based on their previous time in it. And even now in the Championship, they're not that much more exciting than they were back then. It's the soulless ground (even worse than a lot of identi-kit bowl-like stadiums and that takes some doing). Fans barely make a sound. The only thing, from a personal point of view, that I could take from Reading getting promoted is seeing Liam Moore succeed. Other than that, they can stay in the Championship for as long as they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted May 29, 2017 Author Administrator Share Posted May 29, 2017 Huddersfield should be 1 up. Izzy Brown misses from a couple of yards out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things boiling over a touch too with so much emotion and so many late tackles going in, I wouldn't be surprised to see things kick off should one team take the lead. What have I missed?! Faryl Smith. Had to google her tbf. She looks so different to just a few years ago when she was on BGT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted May 29, 2017 Author Administrator Share Posted May 29, 2017 Huddersfield the only ones trying to make anything happen. Van La Parra and Kachunga on either wing seem to be the main threats. Reading have barely carved out any half-chances, let alone any clear cut ones.

Toony Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Not much happened at all since that missed Izzy Brown chance. Reading don't look anything special at all, struggling to get forward, nobody making any runs when they win the ball. Think they need to change something at half-time.

It's not great to watch, whenever Reading pick up the ball they pass it around at the back for about 30 seconds then hit it aimlessly forward. They're only interested in stopping Huddersfield at the moment, that may change as the game goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted May 29, 2017 Author Administrator Share Posted May 29, 2017 that's why a Huddersfield goal is needed. Will force Reading's hand and force them to take the game to Huddersfield. They aren't getting a goal any other way based on the first half showing.

Huddersfield will break through sooner rather than later if the pattern of the game doesn't change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted May 29, 2017 Author Administrator Share Posted May 29, 2017 Reading have no width at all. No options on the wings. Considering they're playing 3 at the back and 5 in midfield, you'd think there'd be some option on either side. But they're getting cancelled out by Huddersfield and their play wasn't quick enough in the first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted May 29, 2017 Author Administrator Share Posted May 29, 2017 similar to first half, both teams started well after half-time but nothing much since. Aaron Mooy is quite good. Nearly set up a goal but Quaner got in front of Wells who was in a better position to shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
