A warm hello to all Leeds United fans …
Just to let you know I've done a big match preview on this weekend’s Leeds v Reading game, and fullest respect shown for the Mighty Whites with detailed information produced equally for both sets of fans – in fact rather more on LEEDS – and absolutely guaranteed no ‘windings up’ here. It would be interesting to have any feedback from you guys. It's on our Reading FC specialist fans' site at:
http://royalsrendezvous.co.uk/topic/9272301/1
- Ideally I'd like to re-produce snippets from your short comments here onto our own page, especially as to how you view the game, thoughts on your own team (believe me, does interest us!), and opinions of Reading (if reproducible!) and we will always credit your user name (and forum of course) for any little quote ... so please pop in for a second for a quick browse! Comments tend to pick up as we approach match day, and we generally pass 100 posts and a 1,000 viewings by end of match day itself. I’d tell our members too where to find this thread if replies start to come in!

Thanks so far guys. I think Reading fans fear this game rather more than West Ham last time out. OK, that was very cheeky by Kebe, even though it was a split second really, and I think it comes from a dislike between the two teams this last decade. But Kebe is certainly doubted by Reading fans for so many games lately where it appears he's not trying, and even for almost special treatment (i.e. being selected) by manager Brian McDermott when he shouldn't be an automatic starter. Of course, his contract is coming to an end soon, and frankly speaking most would prefer him not to stay in present frame of mind.
Back to game, I predicted a 0-0 on our thread; like last season you will have the better of the play, but I'm hoping on a good goalkeeping performance - this time by Federici instead of Alex!

Still very fearful that Reading could hit the same sort of form of last season and propel themselves into the playoffs especially after the WHU result. Think you're similar to us in that you've lost 2 massive players in Mills and Long and are therefore taking time to adjust meaning autos is probably out of the question. We rate McCarthy as a good keeper so Federici must be a very good standard to keep the number 1 spot.
Worried there could be a similar scoreline to the Barnsley result a few weeks back, although 5 out of the last 6 league meetings have ended a draw with the other being a leeds win so your record doesn't back up my claim.

2 of the top 3 in form teams, so could go either way. We are very dodgy at home This is the only game so far this season which is giving me the wobbles, lets hope its a great game & we win, what ever it takes aye ...

Detailed "Ref check" - this week Colin Webster - now up on the RR thread too. He's amazing for Leeds fans - in the last eight matches he's blown for you, you've got 7 victories and a draw!!

I don't think you need to worry about McCarthy having a good game, I think Reading have blocked him from playing against his parent club.
2-0 to Leeds, Home form has to pick up sometime, why not this Saturday

Let's hope the real Leeds turn up!
Prediction; 1-0 Leeds (Snoddy)
