Obsessed, but from the Reading Board, Battle of the Hopeless! There but for the grace....

When : Saturday 2nd March, 3pm
Where : Portman Road, Ipswich,
Capacity : 30,311
Away Stand : One side of the upper tier of the Cobbold Stand
What might I see in the area : Lots of equally depressed supporters milling around aimlessly harking back to the good old days and trying not to think too hard about going to Accrington and Fleetwood on a Tuesday night

The shambles continues. Reading take their dreadful away record to Ipswich for the battle of the hopeless.

It takes something quite special to play league games away from home in the second division of the English league and manage to win just once. Still there have been a few draws to be had so it’s not as bad as it could be in that time but 1 win from 26 attempts is rather impressive.

Ipswich, as we know, have had a bad time of it this year and it looks odds on that the longest current serving members of the second division will end their 17 years service and return to the third division for the first time in 62 years.

The form of the home side is as wretched as Reading’s with just one win in their last 12 league games (however it should noted that that one league win was at home against Rotherham something which Reading failed miserably to match last time out). On the upside for the Tractor Boys they are on a run of 3 undefeated after three 1-1 draws and they have also scored in 9 of their last 10 home games.
