CaptnCanary 0 Posted January 3, 2009 Maybe they thought he did well here and saw the cup game as a good chance to take a look at him playing in their own side again without risking him in a league game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stevie Wonder 0 Posted January 3, 2009 Coppell doesn''t tend to take the cup too seriously and generally plays a weakened team - judging by the fact that neither of the Hunt brothers or Doyle started it looks like Coppell has simply rotated things around. Judging by Roeder''s comments that Lita won''t be signing for anyone permanently to the summer then Coppell may have decided to give him a run out and see what happens with the loan situation by month end. Reading may yet take whatever we have offerred to loan Lita for the rest of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
O.T.B.C 0 Posted January 3, 2009 It wasn''t really to get him fit. He was not suffering any injuries, a couple of games and he was back up to speed. So that theory by Jas is rubbish in my opinion.He was here to get a new club, he served us well and we have served him well, he has a lot of clubs after him now and in no small part because he played here. He is out of contract at the end of season and Reading want him in the shop window to try and get some fee for him instead of him going for nowt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Minster Canary 0 Posted January 4, 2009 Well anyone know how he got on? All I know is that Reading lost 2-0 away at Cardiff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
O.T.B.C 0 Posted January 4, 2009 I reckon that he got on the bus, then he stepped of the bus and then he stepped on the pitch, that is much as I know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ca 1 Posted January 4, 2009 [quote user="Hoof it to Hoolahan"]Well anyone know how he got on? All I know is that Reading lost 2-0 away at Cardiff.[/quote][quote] Cardiff City started their quest for a return trip to Wembley with an FA Cup third round win over Reading. Ross McCormack put last season''s beaten finalists in front on 57 minutes heading home from Roger Johnson. And Joe Ledley wrapped up the win seven minutes from time slotting past the onrushing Adam Federici after a neat one-two with McCormack. Bobby Convey, Leroy Lita and Shane Long all saw chances go begging for Reading before the deadlock was finally broken. First, Convey was through on goal but lost his composure and sliced his shot. And a minute after the break, Shane Long forced a point-blank save from Bluebirds keeper Peter Enckelman. Lita was also denied by defender Gabor Gypes who cleared his effort off the line. Cardiff did have claims for a penalty on 30 minutes turned down when Royals defender Andre Bikey appeared to have handled in the box. But it did not matter as McCormack''s 15th goal of season and Ledley''s third strike ensured the win for Cardiff. [/quote] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
