MATCHWATCH : Brighton & Hove Albion (a) sponsored by Tinsmiths everywhere
Reading starting XI vs Brighton: Al-Habsi, Gunter, Blackett, McShane (c), Moore, Evans, Williams, Mutch, Beerens, McCleary, Kermorgant.
Kermorgant, evans and mcshane will all start
Looks strong. Very harsh on Obita unless he isn't 100%. Also Meite won't be chuffed missing out altogether
Still a strong squad now, plenty of options. Nice that you have the likes of Kelly, Swift and Grabban who can come on

Presumably 4-3-3:
........................Al-Habsi
..Gunter, McShane, Moore, Blackett
..........Williams, Evans, Mutch
...McCleary, Kermorgant, Beerens
Harsh on Kelly, if he's fully fit, but glad to see Evans start. Not far off what I'd consider our best XI.

Blackett v Knockaert 
Like the look of the team today. As long as we line up in sensible formation (I'm thinking 4-4-1-1) then we should be able to nullify their midfield and break quickly with the pace of our wingers. As long as we line up in a sensible formation that is...
That has me worried. Unless Stam seeks to bamboozle the world by putting Gunter at LWB with Williams at RWB.Sutekh wrote:Blackett v Knockaert

No academy player in our starting 11 
Agree on the Blackett one. He has been excellent at CB recently but Obita is a much better full back

Our pitch looks like a farm yard compared to this........
I see Sky are persisting with their irritating cut aways to crowd and management
We look so vulnerable. Just a matter of time before we make a mistake in our defence and concede a goal.

Evans basically playing as a centreback. Not keen... it means there's fewer options available in front of the defence and your CBs are miles from each other.
