Bielsa is unlikely to change a winning team meaning Will Hoffer and Aapo Halme will keep their places. Jansson and Peacock Farrell are still recovering from their injuries but endeavour to be fit for Saturdays local derby at Bramall Lane. Izzy Brown is hoping to complete 90 minutes for the U23's on Monday. If he is successful, he will make the bench on Saturday. Bielsa has a big decision to make whether to keep his faith with Forshaw, or recall Saiz. Has the the ex Boro man done enough to keep his place? Have Hoffer and Halme been tested yet?
The two youngsters did well enough I thought against opposition that were a bit powder puff up front.
Think we need the link up play between Saiz and Pablo, our best chance of free scoring again. Think BPF will be fit and you have to go with the experienced keeper for me.
I can see Reading doing what all teams have done since the Birmingham game, come and defend in numbers, so why not go 3 at the back and press them hard. .............BPF....... Halme.......Cooper....Douglas ............Phillips.....Forshaw ...............Klich......Saiz Clarke........Roofe.......Pablo
I'm guessing that's your preferred team than one you expect. Bielsa doesn't seem to do wholesale changes. I'd expect Dallas will play if fit. Alioski will also play if fit. So possibly Saiz to start for Forshaw might be the only difference to the starting line up.
Reading unbeaten in 3. Admittedly Bristol city Wigan and Ipswich but still it’s results and will give them confidence. Obviously a game we need to be winning. Be good to see a performance as well to take into the blunts game.
I hope Huffer is given another opportunity tonight Saiz to start Clarke preferred over Harrison if we need to make a sub in that position
I’m with 64 and hope Clarke gets a go even though Harrison was almost unplayable yesterday, until he got trodden and had to come off. I think Halme gets another start in place of Pontus unless Bielsa does another Bielsa move and BPF if fit should start as he is our No1 for now
weather its nearly two and it's getting misty again.it's damp cold kind of day and the breeze is very chilly.
