4-4-2?

......................Al-Habsi
...Gunter, Hector, Cooper, Taylor
...............Williams, Evans
McCleary...., Piazon............, Rakels
.................Kermorgant


Seems most likely to me. Hopefully it's not 4-4-2 with Piazon on the left wing. It's a pretty strong team for six(?) changes. Not much impact on the bench.

If you're right Ian, then Williams and Evans are in for a busy night. That's pretty much the formation we started with in the cup replay and we were chasing shadows until they had a man sent off.

Why all the changes ? HRK injured but the others ? Has the penny finally dropped that we need fresh legs ..

Possibly to do with 2 games in 4 days / 3 games in 7 ?

Adie Williams is funny.

During the week he writes an article saying that Brian shouldn't rest any players at Huddersfield as we should make a real effort to make the play-offs. Then on BBC Berks this evening he is saying that we should have rested Michael Hector tonight and look after the Palace game.

No consistency whatsoever. He just speaks for the sake of it. Chopping and changing his mind.

[Nameless]

We have rested Hector.
He's playing in defence not midfield so he doesn't have to run around quite as much.

Sounds like Rakels is going down easy again but this time actually won a free kick.

[Ian Royal]

Meanwhile, at the other end Wells stays on his feet to save Hector from a Red and Pen only for Al-Habsi to save.

He makes Piazon look solid

Come on Reading!

[CountryRoyal]

Worst atmosphere ever it's quite amusing.

[Ian Royal]

That was such an exciting game, I lost concentration and ended up reading a thread on Tim Dellor over on CP.

What's happening in this game?

I am outside of BBC Berks coverage area and the internet stream is not happening right now. Have we had a shot at goal? Have Huddersfield?

Funny is not an adjective I associate with Adie..... try Annoying, Irritating or something similar

A couple, but nothing significant. Fairly even, but Huddersfield have come close a couple of times.

Oh look Wells scored against us again.

Taylor oxf*rd up.
