As always, friendly greetings from daib0. Close season has long come and gone, and we’re business as usual again. So onto our game together this coming Wednesday – and I wondered if I could have a few views from yourselves to inform the members on my Royals forum. Guaranteed no ‘wind ups’ on my forum! Whilst I’d be grateful for anyone saying what they like thinking ahead to the game, perhaps here I’d just like to point you all towards a few ideas. These will really help us. Just a few basic easy things – here goes:
A] ** I imagine you can’t be too pleased on the current manager situation. I’ve read many threads on various Leeds forums on the long-running boardroom saga … could you sum up in a couple of phrases how you personally feel at the moment?
B] ** However, in spite of the apparent unrest Leeds are quietly getting on with the work in hand on the pitch itself. Quite comfortable so far this season, indeed you are only three points off the play-offs. I’d say that was pretty impressive stuff. So … what are your realistic hopes this season?
C] ** Is the Championship getting harder year by year? Who do you see as the main other candidates for promotion? Any special match this year that you definitely don’t want to miss?
D] ** Any notable changes to your squad in the summer? Any great prospect among the youngsters coming through? And who should Reading FC fear most in our game together?
E] ** Any memories (good or bad) or anecdotes of previous Leeds United – Reading encounters that you could share with us?
F] ** Finally, how do you see the game going? A score prediction if you haven’t left it in another place on the site or please just saying once again to make it that bit easier for me?!

Cheers,

A. Glad we've now got a head coach, time will tell how he does here, but he appears to have a reasonable record at his previous clubs.
B. Would be chuffed to bits with automatic, happy with playoffs and would consider anything less as a failure.
C. They are all opponents and rivals. I can see the top three or four changing over the season, a club up there now could drop just as clubs lower down can rise. I pick and choose my games as I have other commitments throughout the year, but I like any game where we win and choose to attend games I think we'll win....!! Doesn't always come off mind..!
D. No we've got all the same squad as we had last season, there's been no changes at all...??
E. No. As a Leeds fan I'm not allowed happy memories, they are a taboo subject on Leeds boards.
Aren't you adjacent to the M4, that's a nice road.
F. 3 - 0 To Leeds and a thoroughly entertaining game it will be too.
All the best for the season except against us of course.
ps you've probably noticed, most of our fans are shy which is why they are reticent to comment on your thread, most don't understand it when someone come from another club and doesn't wind them up...!!!

Don't Reading usually smash us?
Tomorrow won't be any different if Donnie Darko plays 442 again.

Good to see and read comments from some of our more interesting posters on your site.
I take back my remark about us being shy.
