Going to miss Mattock

Hopefully Jobi doesn't play on the wing again otherwise will have a field day. Think he went to CM V Leeds.

 

[Springal]

Mattock out of the 16, wow ! Reading team still looks very strong despite injuries.

 

[the right footed denilson]

Mattock MUST be injured?

So is Gonzo playing at LB ?

Reading line-up (according to Fordham of the Reading Evening Post):

ROYALS Federici; Cummings, Harte, Gorkss, Pearce; McAnuff (c), Mullins, Kebe, Cywka; Hunt, Roberts // ROYALS subs: McCarthy, Gunnarsson, Afobe, Church, Le Fondre

Afobe is not 100% apparently .. I can't remember Cywka starting a game before, and Mullins usually doesn't either.



I won't be interfering with your match comments during the game itself, as it's not the most respectful thing to do ... but hope for a comment or two well afterwards, whichever way it goes ...
hope it's a good advert for the championship -

Does it look like McAnuff on the wing?

Not sure TBH - Cywka is also good on the outside and cuts in well ...

 

[A Reading Fan in Peace]

McAnuff on the wing with Kebe on the other, Mullins playing the defensive midfield role allowing cywka to push forward. Interesting to see how the two in the middle fit in, hope its a good game what ever the result

OK thanks.

According to Wimb, the expert on the Tilehurst End blog page:

"Think you'll see more 4-3-3 then 4-4-2. Mullins in the middle with Jobi and Cywka, Hunt and Kebe winging it either side of Roberts. "

We're doooooomed.

Mullins must be really slow now?

Faster than Harte (!)

Faster than Harte (!)

If you can kick a football like Harte, you don't need speed!

 

[Seagull kimchi]

I bloody love games like tonight -shit or bust.

Com on you super Royal bashing Seagulls!

 

[Stat Brother]

So is Gonzo playing at LB ?

The radio have Calde there, Reyes right.
Hopefully it won't take Will long to switch with Barnes.

Evening folks! Currently very drunk at a mates in Thailand for this one So i'm predicting a massive 2-1 win tonight, all though...i must confess, my optimism is no doubt being fueled by quite a large quantity of Singha and 100 Pipers 'authentic' scotch whisky, that will probably make me blind by the end of the match.
