Hopefully VDB will be fit, if he is I'd ease him back in second half.

Prediction - 2-1 Reading. Kermorgant, Beerens

Crowd -18500

Huddersfield fans getting a bit carried away with their start. I think we'll bring them down to earth with a bump on Saturday.

Cant really argue with that 11 with the team playing as they are at the moment/suspensions.

The only thing I will say is that I would expect Williams to come into the team instead of Joey, in light of his recent injury issues, with Joey then getting some minutes at the end with a view to him starting on Tuesday night v Brentford.

I fully expect Williams to play. If VDB is fully fit, Quinn will miss out for DW. If VDB isn't it'll be him and Quinn might lose outto Evans too.

I just wouldn't start him. For me we should be looking at this for positional competition and in order of preference.

DM: VDB / Evans / Kelly / Gravenberch
CM: Quinn / Evans / Williams
AM: Swift / Williams

You're making too many assumptions considering you haven't seen us play once this season.

How could you possibly know?

[Stockport Royal]

TopFlight's going in all guns blazing on their board.

Wells always seems to have a blinder against us, reckon him to score again so 1-1.

This is an excellent point, apart from the fact I have seen us play this season. And on top of that I've seen 10 minutes of every match, which is plenty to give a rough impression, especially after seeing half the team plenty over the last three years.

But otherwise crack on.

[LWJ]

This is the game where we give someone a proper tonking which we've been threatening to do so far in every game. We'll get a penalty to make up for all the non-calls we've had against Reading the past few seasons, they'll get a red for the same reason. We're league leaders and always attack - bout time we get some good decisions from the ref! Bournemouth would get a penalty whenever they entered the oppositions half in their promotion season!

I don't understand? What you talking about? I haven't posted on their board. I'd like to see this link too please.

You're right. In that basis you are quite the expert.

4-0 Reading. Knock them down a peg or two.

[Ian Royal]

Never said I was, just expressed an opinion. Feel free to explain why you think it's wrong.

[Top Flight]

Just read the posts from the nob who is using a similar username as me. His comments are his own opinions only and do not reflect the views of this particular Top Flight.

This Top Flight believes that Huddersfield are a good team and should be treated with the respect that their league position deserves.
On Saturday I would like to see Jaap Stam's men absolutely batter them. That is the best way to approach a game against the league leaders. Even if we have to play 60 minutes of the game with only 9 men.

[Royal_jimmy]

won't be easy to keep them out but I am confident we can beat them. We are playing great football at the moment

2-1 us with Beerens to score his first 2 for the club

[Top Flight]

Regarding the team line-up for this one, I would like to see the following:

GK: Ali
RB: Gunts
LB: Obita
CB: Paul
CB: Moore - is he fit? I don't know
DM: Joey - Is he fit?
CM: Evans
CM: Quinn
RF: Swifty
CF: Kermorgant
LW: Roy

Crowd. 17,451 - I'm bringing a few extras to this one. Taking advantage of the bring a friend season ticket offer. They're from London though, so I don't think I'll be able to convert them into Reading fans and they support Man U and are from Manchester originally.

Prediction - Reading 1 Town 0 (Joey)

[LoyalRoyal22]

Everybody reverting back to 4-3-3 ?

Best 30 minutes of the season arguably came at Oakwell playing a 3-4-3
