[MR. CYNICAL]

So who was the other centre back?

So who was the other centre back?

Sam Harrison I would imagine. Malife, Dorsett, Duah and Kanu were missing from the squad which I think just left O’C, Harrison & Ward as contenders.

It was Harrison. I thought that he was good, quick, strong in the air and confident on the ball.

What was the style of play like? Classic Leam hoofball or something more refined

Classic Leam in my opinion.

Mostly slow passing at the back that ultimately ends in a panicked hoof. Plenty of opportunities for a forward ball that ended with a sloppy misplaced pass. Put it this way, most of the first half was in Reading’s half, against a Farnborough 11 that were all playing together for the first time.

Assuming not many Nobbers have made the trip to Spain, the next best thing is there's a stream available for £5:

Joel still playing the injured goalkeeper routine
Paddy Lane giving his now cutomary pass across his own area and give the opposition a free atempt at goal
Marriott busy

[Pepe the Horseman]

Should be 2 up. Playing well.

[Ascotexgunner]

A shot on target, a shot on target.... I saw it with my own eyes.

[Ascotexgunner]

Strange place to play a game.... A public park almost. Somone pushing pram behind the goal.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Wtf was that Wing about to take a free kick and Getafe player just jogs past and kicks the ball away.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Marriott could've had a hat trick.

[Sutekh]

HT 0-0

[windermereROYAL]

Marriott`s looking sharp. hope he stays fit.

[Doc]

We played pretty well, could have easily been 2 or 3 up.
I liked the balance of Stokes ahead of Wing-Rinomhota in midfield.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Yeh. Rinomhota looking tidy.

[windermereROYAL]

Second half team anyone?
