Reading: McCarthy; Gunter, Cummings, Pearce, Gorkss, Williams, Guthrie, Blackman, McAnuff (C); Drenthe; Pogrebnyak

Wind-up, surely?

Ah, perhaps not "Seems like a bit of a sickness bug going through the squad" according to CWatts.

Same source : "Injury news: Jordan Obita misses out due to illness, while a couple of others on the bench were also ill overnight. RobsonKanu out (knee)."

Why oh why couldn't Blackman have had the runs and not a footballer in our squad? Oh well, maybe he'll sparkle, score a hat-trick, and really stuff it us non-believers!

subs: Federici, Kelly, Akpan, McCleary, J.Taylor, Le Fondre, Sharp

Presumably McCleary, Le Fondre and Sharp are all under the weather too? Or perhaps too much turkey and booze !!?

Oh no, don't like that lineup at all

Except LeFondre & Sharp are on the bench.....

[John Madejski's Wallet]

So do they just get an extra hour for Imodium to work then?

The club should invest in Imodium instants

That's what I thought but CWatts tweet added to my orig comment. Some on the bench also dickey apparently.

At least Charlton seem to be doing a number on Brighton, which means we may cling on to 6th before the 3pm matches KO. (For all those who believe possession = wins, Charlton have had 34% possession but lead 3-1 )

[Todd Margaret]

Blackman must be the best training ground striker in the history of football.

No idea how the tweet machine works, so copied and pasted a couple more comments from CWatts:

"Adkins has been speaking up Blackman recently. Keeps telling us how good he's been in training. Here's his chance to impress."

"Not surprised that Sharp and Le Fondre are not starting. Don't understand McCleary being benched again though. Surprising." Can say that again!

[Libertine]

I am not filled with optimism for this game. Fortunately(?) I will not be able to follow it live as the beginning of my shift at work today coincides with the start of the game. Hopefully I will come home and be pleasantly surprised to hear about a Reading victory. C'mon urzzzzzz!

[sandman]

Might as well get it started now, Ohhh Adam Le Fondre.

[CountryRoyal]

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[SHORT AND CURLY]

Boooooooooooo

[loyalroyal4life]

Yet again benching our best midfielder

3-1

[Royal Ginger]

Yet again benching our best midfielder

3-1

Akpan's not that good.

[sandman]

Blackman has a cross charged down and makes the wrong run.

Ohhh Adam Le Fondre.

[EPR2.0]

No power at the King Power

[bobby1413]

Sheeeeet....

Game is going to be cancelled I think (well abandoned I mean). That's if the power cuts don't stop.

TBF that might be good for us. Replay in April when we have a fully fit squad with another 4 months learning how to play Adkins' system, plus maybe a new face or two in Jan? Leicester to burn themselves out as the run-in starts??

Who am I kidding!! Get the fuses replaced and let's get a win under our belts today!!

[blueroyals]

Glad I gave this one a miss. What a waste of a boxing day

[Kitsondinho]

I'd settle for it being called off, could probably go to the rescheduled game.......lovely stuff from the Foxes fans for their owners.....maybe we should do the same for Anton.
