Especially when Scott is missing too.

Although if Scott was in then one of the others (prob Leeson) would miss out keeping it at 9

[Davefevs]

Heard Leeson was in the 19 last night from a poster on here.  Guessing a toss up between him and Francois (who was on the bus - not that bus!!) for the last sub shirt.

Technically decent, can play LB too.

Yeah, fair point

21,000 tickets sold for this game now. I don’t quite understand how or why given we’ve got nothing to play for, sat in midtable, in fairly poor form, with long injury list - and unremarkable opposition!

Genuinely quite puzzled by it

Lot of local amateur games called off has probably boosted the numbers a bit.

I must have missed it, but I presume Scott injured from England U-21 games?

Yes ligament injury…(u20)

Well done Harry Leeson, another lad getting match day experience, suggests that Wilson is seen as a more attacking right sides option if needed.

Another full-back also means that we could move Dasilva further up, with Tanner either going to LB (with Wilson/Leeson to RB) or CB (with Pring going to LB).

[Garland-sweden]

We miss Scott and Sykes still think we win 2-0. COYR 

[Davefevs]

Same system to start?

or Wells / Conway as a two?

Even if we start Conway RF / Wells CF / Mehmeti LW I reckon Tommy will play inside / closer to Wells.

Like the look of that coyr

The refereeing is shocking, but even they could see the problem with that line up..

Well, I wasn’t far out, was I? Conway in for Cornick is the only difference.

I can’t make today’s game. Is there anywhere I can watch it?

[RedRock]

Oh lor. I was rather hoping that Carroll might have been injured or suspended. 

Going to be an interesting afternoon trying to stop any high balls being launched towards him.

The other lot were big lumps, weren't they? Unlike our lot. The deluded Lam thinks you can win games with a bunch of lightweights up front. Genge got dumped like a rag doll at one point. Should have been a red card but the clueless ref is probably still running scared from his 6Nations blunder.

Anyway wrong thread. COYR!

They were physical and direct and had the best player on the pitch by a hundred miles in Penaud.  I thought it was Sinkler who got speared?  Genge got clattered but he was way off his normal standard. Both very early in the game - clearly not accidental.  

Still think we'd have won if we had one of Joyce or Batley playing and only lost due to the 7 points Naulago literally gifted them with 10 minutes left.

[Davefevs]

Nige saying 45-60 for TC today.  Thinks it’s better to start him than as sub…I agree.

[EstoniaTallinnRed]

NP just said on RB that TC will only have 60 minutes, because they have to be careful with him.

[Davefevs]

Scott shouldn’t be out too long, week / 10 days.

Yeah.  See how he is at half time and decide if it's worth sending out for the 2nd half.

Big opportunity for Zak to show how much he’s improved. A big challenge for him today.

Zak (and Cam) will be helped massively if the delivery is pressured.  If we allow Reading players to get their head up and pick out Carroll's target area, it'll be hard to contain him.  Meite is a bustling striker in the Semenyo mould, so he will give us issues too.  Incidentally, he's twice done his hamstring at AG in the past.

I was going to delete that post but forgot - I counted 12 in your team (counted Taylor-Clarke as two) after a quick scan 

 

[NcnsBcfc]

I know they played rugby at AG last night, but the pitch is looking somewhat cut up.

I get the 22 yard lines, but what are the crosses and worn patches across the middle third? Looks like somebody has left a load of containers on it overnight.

A shame, as normally our pitch is one of the best in the division.

[Lanterne Rouge]

The 100th time we`ve played Reading in the league today. I thought it would have been more than that.
