Reading vs Brighton And Hove Albion ****Official Match Thread****

I wonder if Spanish Dave is match fit yet?

JFC and Lualua both started v Newport. Just saying.

We played okay in that game until the sending off and galvanisation of the Newport team though, doesn't worry me.

And for those saying 'okay' vs Newport - fair enough, but we didn't look like we needed to get out of first gear vs them..

 

[Frutos]

I reckon its about as good a lineup as we can get given the injuries, and good to see JFC getting a start.

Decent depth and options on the bench too.

 

[brakespear]

still reckon we will win this

 

[Blackadder]

Hmm, not sure Lopez ought to be starting, but happy JFC and Lua Lua are playing, was hoping that Conway was going to be on the bench.

Hope you are right. JFC hasn't exactly been pulling up trees in his appearances, so far this season.

*Plenty on the bench if it goes tits up.
*Looks like ball retention is the order of the day.
*Lualua has the chance to shine today, he's been griping about not getting a starting spot.....grab it Kaz.
*Caskey to play a blinder against his dad's old team.

First time in a long time we've not had a defensive midfielder in the line up?

Andrews will play DM

 

[TSB]

Drenthe looks MASSIVE

 

[Husty]

Drenthe is looking almost comically rotund

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Oscar likes the word amazing.

 

[Marxo]

The bench looks strong, Oscar seems to know what to change when things aren't going ok so having decent options is great.

 

[Bladders]

Oscar says we are going to punish them.

 

[theonesmith]

Andrews will play DM

I think we'll see both Andrews and Crofts playing deep in front of the back four personally. And when they receive the ball, they'll have license to take it forward. Just my take on it - I'm very happy with that as a 451-433, if our players can be flexible enough to carry it out. So much depends on the movement off the ball

good old Warren ..............................DRENCH!!

 

[whitelion]

Drenthe looks MASSIVE

Aspinall just called him Drench.....is it wet in Reading yet?

 

[Hyperion]

Would have liked to see March on bench as an option and Buckley start but I guess Will is being rested

 

[Husty]

Aspinall just called him Drench.....is it wet in Reading yet?

Why on earth would you listen to that clown when you can watch the match live?

 

[TSB]

Aspinall just called him Drench.....is it wet in Reading yet?

Perhaps he's feeling fruity?
