As yesterday. I think the 4-3-3 /4-5-1 that we played yesterday suits our squad best. Thoughts on yesterday. Skuse is a better RB than midfielder. Foster looks a great addition. Cisse does the ugly stuff well AND makes NK a better player. Woods can't trap cement but scored - You can't argue with that. Nyatanga - Currently mid Atlantic. Finally, I really hope Del doesn't play 4-4- and 2 strikers. Every time he's played 2 up front we lose the midfield (Boro,Derby,Coventry etc etc) and just get worse.
Festa fans said when we got him ok at left back but really struggles in the centre! But hey Derby fans said Pearson was ****e, so might work
No, as much as i enjoyed yesterdays game that formation for me was very much a Home formation. If Elliot is fit I would get him back in and move Pearson back out to the left, (really sorry Bolasie!) but I just think we may be a little vulnerable with two out and out wingers like that away. We will do well to get a point at the Madjeski so keep it tight Dell.
My only change would be Wilson for Nyatanga. Wouldn't mind seeing Clarkson playing in the role Kilkenny played. He played well but think Clarkson would give Wood more support but if Elliott is fit maybe he will play instead as when Elliott is back it will be for him or Cisse
Cisse over Elliott every time for me. I think he saved Millen last season and if he was to have played him this season could of saved him. Oh well then every cloud and all that
I can see where Banky's coming from and can't fault the logic and would be more than ok with Marv in for Bolassie and Pearson playing left. Especially that Reading away is a lot harder than Donny home. However Del has to 'manage' players and to drop Bolassie after his performance Saturday could do harm in the long run to Bolassie's confidence which is massive in a player's make up. Del, you know Bolassie - over to you.
personally id play the same team, with the right tactics and motivation no reason why we cant walk out of reading with 3 points
I'd keep things the same too. We played well yesterday until we let our heads drop so I see no reason to change the formation (only 1 up front still after all). I'd also look to move Nyatanga out for either Wilson or McGivern, he's clearly the weak link in defence atm.
Let Reading think about are front end as opposed to us worrying about them. That first half was complete football. A great performance,just wish we went for the jugular second half.
