  1. I can't see anything past quite a comprehensive win for you guys, 3-0 would be about right. Hoping for a sneaky 1-0 win for us but just can't see that we will stop you scoring. Nugent will have every chance of MOM today.
  2. Yes that's exactly how we play, very counter attacking but I wouldn't say long ball. absorb the pressure and then let the wingers run with the ball. Mills too often looks for the killer 60 yard ball, thus giving possession straight back. I'm sure his vision will improve with maturity, it's not often you see the top CB's in the world spraying 60 yard balls, they let someone else do that. As said before, I think you have signed him at the right time. He's not far off becoming an excellent all round CB. His composure when on the ball and short fuse will be coached well and he can only improve.
  3. Being as you mention Kebe, I take it you weren't at the Madejski last season? We are a better side when we give it to our wingers feet to run with. I can't honestly think of any other player apart from the keeper who played any sort of long ball game.
  4. Mills is a big loss more because we have got neither of the central defenders at the club that we had last year. On his day Mills is the best in this league, unfortunately there weren't enough of those days. Positives Powerhouse Good in the air Can pick a good long ball Very vocal Negatives Lapses in concentration Looks for the long ball to often Very short fuse I am sure he will go on to be a very good CB and you've bought him at about the right time. Forget about the price, his worth is what he brings to Leicester.
  5. I think you've every right to be excited going into this season. As one of a handful of Reading fans living in Leicester, it is certainly a very different vibe surrounding your club to ours. Although we are still widely expected, outside of Reading, to be there or there abouts in the play off shake up. You guys are expected to gain automatic promotion, personally I think you will. However with the spending power that you have had in the close season, you automatically put yourselves in a position of a much bigger fall than anyone else, West Ham possibly the exception. Every forum is bound to be talking of you guys at the moment, you're the only ones creating any headlines in the championship. There will be many trying to stick the knife in you already, I would say as much through jealousy as anything else. I love the way that Reading operate with unearthing gems and bringing through the youngsters from a successful academy. Would I and many Reading fans be the same as you guys if we had 10-15 million to spend, damn right we would!
  6. Hi Foxes, Reading fan here although been Living in Leicester a good few years now. Great site by the way.
