Q: did the two winger system work? I maintain it is inherently wrong because we can only play on one wing at the time (the other winger can drop back into midfield), but we are still one short against a 4-4-2 and even then Macca has not got a partner upfront. The 4-4-2 team just waits for us...

Goals were Christmas Presents Did you listen to it? Mugged, I would describe it.

Aaaaaargh !!!! Ankergen had probably gone to sleep though.

Third highest Boxing Day crowd in Reading's history (BBC Final Score, 22,000+) Grim at Forest

Noone does had a hard cross (not a floating one) and about time too. Nobody on the end of it though.

I think I would have swopped the Albion wingers over at half-time. As they can't cross, they could cut in and shoot!

Noone on for Kazenga. The only explanation of this is that it was pre-arranged ???

Five Albion fouls, two bookings.

Is Buckley on the pitch? If he is playing on the right wing, he might be isolated ?

Still a chance with Kazenga having the better of Cummings. Not sure what is happening with the final ball though.

Gus' gamble has gone wrong through a silly mistake by El-Abd (and I think Aspinall was probably right). Ructions in the dressing room ?

Who lost the ball in midfield?

Adam El-Abd takes a shot. Save by Adam Federici. :clap:

Reading passing to Dunk on the Albion goal line.

Watford fail to play party poopers against Cardiff 1-1 BBC Sport - Watford v Cardiff Whilst Southampton are just 1-0 up there is still a chance for Palace unless the referee intervenes. Southampton seem a couple of players short of a Premier League team already.

I have given up forecasting what team Gus will put out, But I would expect El-Abd, Greer, Bridcutt and Macca to be definites. And probably Ankergen and Dunk. I think Kazenga will feature on the pitch at some time (unless we get any more red cards).

Southampton playing superbly and McGhee comments are sound. 1-0. BBC Sport - Southampton v Crystal Palace McGhee has no connections with Palace or Southampton ? But he has with both Reading and Brighton.

Southampton v Palace about to KO on Radio 5 Extra with Mark McGhee as advisor. BBC Sport - Southampton v Crystal Palace I don't think I will bear listening to it though.
