QPR V READING 2-0

There is always an element of the unknown for the first game of the season.

We were all optimistic in 2012 and we got destroyed 5-0 by Swansea.

This year the overall feeling is more towards pesimistic but we still don't know for sure that Reading will beat us.

We don't know how Reading are looking yet and I actually thought they were one of the poorest (and most boring) teams we played last season. I could never work out how they ended up in the play offs.

I really really hope Caulker gets back into the fold and plays like we saw him play for spurs and early Cardiff days. Would be like a new signing.

A bit of perspective from the more hard-nosed of the football community - the bookies! They have the following odds being offered for promotion:


Fulham 10/1



Brentford 25/1



QPR 150/1

Seems a little extreme (and frankly a little insulting) but I do agree we will not be promoted. Still believe a Top 12 finish would be an achievement with the squad we have. Going to the game on Saturday and agree with NWhoop that Reading did not look that good last season, so their final position was a surprise to me too.... I think we know what the defence will look like, and I am assuming room will be made for Luongo, Scowen & Freeman, but beyond that not sure who will fill the remaining slots; but expecting a draw (possibly 0-0). Your thoughts?

Anyone else going to be in the Ellerslie Road stand? I will be in Block T/ Row D/ Seat 86 if anyone wants to meet up!

Sorry that should read "Heads up all" rather than "heads up fellas" don't want to exclude anyone.
