FACT: Reading had won 10 of their 12 home games before last night.
FACT: They had scored 30 goals in those 12 games.
FACT: Only 7 of their 12 opponents have managed to score against them.
FACT: Only one team has taken a point off them at the Madejski since the opening day of the season.
FACT: We didn't do worse than most of the others!
Now about the team selection - could it be that CL was looking at the 4 games in 8 days rather than just atb this one particular game? Could it be that he thought we had more chance of taking points in the *whole* of the 4 games if he mounted a 'damage limitation' exercise last night? If we have no chance of winning a game, what's wrong with saving some key players for games that we can win.
And I have still not seen any consensus from the "CL must go" brigade about who we should get next, whether we can actually attract that person and how long they will give them to get City into the Champions League!!
Fecking hell Boc you really must think before posting something like that. I am not asking for CL's head (yet) but reading posts like this might just turn me. As a fan I go to EVERY match expecting a win. If I didn't WTF am I doing going? I could never go to a match thinking there was not a small chance of winning, despite who we are playing. I have witnessed the double against Liverpool in a season when we got relegated, I have seen us win at Old Trafford, the first team to do so in ages. I have also seen Harlow town beat us. I know at sometime we need to rest players, so why does he not come out and say that.
Going by that theory then, are we to expect the youth side to be turned out against Spurs? I can see the point in resting players, but I dont think we can exercise that luxury too much in our position. We need points and lots of them, are we going to get them if we dont field our strongest side?
