Coppell's 1000th match
As has been widely reported tonight's game will be SC's 1000th game as a league manager. He joins an exclusive club of just 17 gaffers, and I think only Dario Gradi and the Purple One are still active in football league management. It's an astonishing landmark and the man is truly a legend; it'd be fantastic to get a win tonight, not least because of the way things have been going lately. I'm going to predict a hard-fought 2-1 win for the Royals, and hearty congratulations to Mr. C. Even if we don't win!

In best Victor Meldrew tones......"I don't bloody believe it..." - we actually won. Now then URz, can we actually put back to back wins together at Colin's place on Saturday? Let's hope so. Maybe Kits will find some confidence from his goal and spur the rest of the team on. A bit surprised to see Pearce dropped but it was the right result. No more slips please
One thing I didn't realise was that Coppell is the sixth longest serving manager in England behind Ferguson, Wenger and Moyes and lower league managers Graham Turner (Hereford) and John Coleman (Accrington Stanley)!
Has he really been here that long and it just goes to show what can be achieved by a club that has a bit of stability.
But Doobs in the team? WTF Steve?
