Re: BFTG-Fulham

Good showing today. Within the first 5 minutes it was noticeable how much better balanced we looked having a left footed, attack minded left back. Two minor criticisms. Felt we should have pushed on more in the last 20 as I felt we could have scored more, but we lacked impetus. Secondly, I thought ...

Re: BFTG-Fulham

I don't think that yesterday's team is too far away from our first choice starting XI. I would put McCleary in for Taylor and Williams for Akpan. Though I think Karacan might get the nod instead of Williams. Not much of a future for some of our players though Given Karacan is our captain, you would...

Re: Internationals Watch

(I'm also a bit embarrassed to see our squad allegedly made up of "Jamaican" and "Irish" players who are actually from London and the Home Counties. Makes us look like we've imported foreign talent) I think it's an interesting point, as when people discuss the number of foreigne...

Re: Confimred new owners of Reading Football Club

Hypothetical question - had we not been promoted just 6 months after Anton first arrived on the scene, stayed in the champ didn't buy the likes of pog, didn't get parachute payments to waste on the likes of Drenthe wayne bridge etc and just carried on as we were a team in and around the top of the ...

Re: Do we need a new defensive coach?

Problem is Ian, is that even with all our midfielders being fit we still do not have a truly defensive, destructive midfielder. Jen certainly runs around, but his tackling is weak. Guthrie likes to tackle but can't (hence all his yellow cards), Williams and Akpan are more attacking in their natural...

Re: Team for Middlesbrough (H)

Fair enough, but that's just not the way we've been playing and I can't see Adkins changing that. We've got enough problems going forward without robbing us of another attacker. Defensively, we've not been too bad on the whole, the problem has been far too many individual errors and padding the mid...

Re: Team for Middlesbrough (H)

First choice defence it may be, but a back four always needs midfield protection to help pick up the runners. And while Akpan may not be the best, I suspect he's better than Edawrds and Taylor

Re: Team for Middlesbrough (H)

He certainly does. Surely he should put an extra man in to midfield to provide some cover for the defence. Can't see the point of having both Taylor and Edwards in there. Poor selection again. Very lightweight in midfield. But at least Obita is in defence this game. Anton Ferdinand must have been so...

Fair point SCIAG. Agree with playing specialists in their proper positions.

Re: Team for Middlesbrough (H)

I think Ferdinand might get a start on Saturday if Hector is out. If Hector is fit, he could play in midfield again with Ferdinand coming in alongside Pearce. Therefore, I'm going with Feds Taylor----Pearce-----Ferdinand-----Gunter ---Akpan---Hector---Norwood -------Mackie---Edwards----- -----------...
