Just a quick question, do you think that Zaha and Clyne will be with you at the start of next season?
Zaha is 50/50. I doubt we'll let him go unless his valuation is met. We turned down a £7m offer from Bolton in January.

Clyne going this summer is almost a dead cert IMO.

A point away to a side that has been in phenomenal form is a very good point. Plus, we scored twice! A pity we couldn't dictate the second half despite it being against 10-men but credit to Reading for that.

Let's hope we can end the season next week on a high and give Cardiff their comeuppance for the League Cup semi.
Reading should never of been down to 10 men D'Urso,'s decision to send Roberts off with a straight red card was farcicle. Although the incident happened at the other end from where I was sitting I was directly in line with it and had a clear view and from what I saw it looked no more than a bit of push and shoving. Roberts was clearly protecting the ball and if there was any contact with Parr, it was minimul and certainly not deserving of a straight red.

Thought it was a clear red card for a swinging elbow myself.

Played pretty well today, against an obviously better side. We look so much better when we play it on the floor!

Pedroza looks very promising, hope he stays and gets some more game time.

well deserved for him.

sad thing is it's probably his last game for us on Saturday.

hopefully he does a "danny butterfield" and scores a hattrick!

vengeance is the dish of the day for saturday... beat cardiff, beat them well and screw up their chance of making the play-offs...

^ That would be a fantastic way to end the season.

Really hoping Pedroza gets another start, preferably up top with Murray.

You're relying on Boro to win to take your evil plan to fruition though....

I would love it if your boys did the business, make Saturday a bit more exciting for us.

Started well, finished poorly today. Although much of that must be down to Cardiff improving in the second half.

The younger players are looking decent, add a few more accomplished Championship players and we'll be fine next year I'm sure.

Looking forward to the transfer window.

You know what, I hope Cardiff win the play-offs, at least we wouldn't then have to play them next season - I am sick of the sight of them!

The second half summed up our form of late - terrible!

The transfer window this summer is going to be vital for us, both with the comings and goings. We need to be more competitive next season (especially tactically) if we have any aspirations of a top half finish.

i'll be happy to see the back of cardiff too... we did alright for a while yesterday but once they got in their stride there was only ever going to be one winner...

...we need some changes in personnel in the summer and a different approach to games next season otherwise we will be in a relegation battle again imo...


on a side note has anyone else seen our new home and away kits for next season?

Yep, here they are for those that haven't seen them yet >> Link.

I don't like the yellow on the home kit but other than that it's nice.

The away kit is an abomination!

i don't mind the yellow on the home kit although it does look similar to a Barcelona strip.

the away kit is a shocker! but i'm hoping that home teams next season will be so put off with what we are wearing it will distract them from the game itself!

Always hard to judge just from pictures - especially any pictures from our official site!

But I really like the home kit, including the yellow. The away kit is a bit dodgy mind.

Don't mind the home kit , not keen on the away one , always liked the yellow & black stripped shirts used in the Cup final replay with Man U .

Agree with Bandit , a less defensive outlook needed next season along with a creative midfield passer who can retain possession rather than lump constant high balls to a lone striker , plus a goal scorer should be top of the list .

A goalscorer is what we need, I guess resigned to losing at least two first team players. Be good to have jonathan Williams back though hopefully.

who would everyone's player of the year be?

for me it's between Gardner and Zaha. i'd probably edge for Zaha.
