Match Day Thread Reading vs QPR

No 999’s got abscess on tooth so felt lousy & gave it to my nephew & his mate otherwise would’ve gone.

 

He played very well apparently.

 

Reading 15 years

 

I looked up Fulham and Colombia to help you make the distinction in future, Nines.

Apparently, one is a God-forsaken, lawless ****hole rife with guns, drugs and violent gangs and the other is a country in South America.

 

I'm gutted as I usually go to this fixture being it's on my doorstep. I'm moving into a new flat so can't make it.

Anyway, up the Rangers we have done well in our last two outings to the fakes

 

What sort of excuse is that?

Bloody soft Aussie
Ryan nelsen played better after a 24hour flight

 

Or as I now see a 25 minute bus journey

 

Important game in my view, as we really need to pick up where we left off.
There can be no looking at the game as having no importance.
We need a strong finish to the season; to build momentum and to be seen as a club players will want to join with every prospect of being able to break into the team (as Smyth, Eve, Manning, Freeman have done). We will need a good off-season for recruitment with so many contracts ending.
Has to be a win for me! Come on Rrrrrsss!!!!!

 

Good news on the injury front, the Official has Scowen, Robinson and Sylla all fit again and available for selection tomorrow.

 

Good news! If they are match fit, then the key issue will be how to select the team.

I would expect Scowen to feature and the rest of the team should be similar to the Fulham team. However, I have no idea how to resolve the Freeman and Eze issue.

 

Thanks Dave
I will be tuning in for this one
Never good after an international break are we so time to put that ghost to rest with another away win
Let’s at least make this five unbeaten

Team is strong now as it should be

 

If we set up 4 2 3 1 maybe Freeman would be effective in the 2 and Eze in the 3, something like this -

Smithies
Furlong Ned Lynch Bidwell
Luongo Freeman
Smyth Eze Pawel
Smith

 

This fully works and is a very good team ... but without Scowen.

I admit that I personally like the policy of players having "to win" their places. It is good to reward performance and to create healthy competition for places. Based on this approach, it would be my starting starting eleven.

However, if the objective is to place Scowen along side Luongo in defensive midfield, then we have both Freeman and Eze fighting for the no.10 position. If this were to happen, then I would start with Eze with a view of introducing Freeman in the 2nd half.

Who would have thought we would have such dilemma a few a months ago?

 

The best team may not include all of the players we think are the best.

 

This is very, very true.

 

3,000 tickets sold, cue usual disappointing performance in front of a decent following
