Team for Reading

[thederbyram]

What line up would you like to see, given Mac says he'd like to make a few changes and Thorne will be given a run out..

I'd go:

Roos;
Christie, Keogh, Shotton, Warnock;
Mascarell;
Bryson, Hendrick;
Lingard, Bent, Dawkins

Subs:
Grant,
Buxton,
Forsyth,
Thorne (to come on after 60 mins),
Hughes,
Ward,
Thomas.

That's assuming Albentosa, Martin, Russell, Whitbread are all on the injury list.

Edit: I would like to see us go into the diamond when Thorne comes on, obviously depending on the scoreline, with maybe Thomas coming on for Lingard (assuming he's still not 100% match fit after injury), with Dawkins in behind the front two.. I think his play could be better utilised to linking up play than trying to take defenders on out wide and I'd like to see if I'm right..

My concern with that team is that we have seen when Jeff and Brys play together, they both run away from Omar rather than offering towards him. Why Will is so pivotal!

A curve ball would be to start Thorne in holding role (get him 60mins) and play Omar in the "Will" role that comes for passes out. I would give Brys a run out for sure and rest Jeff for Tues

Lindgard, have to take a look at him. Same with Warnock

If Albentosa is fit, I would play him too.

I dont think these changes are weakening our side a great deal. Myself, sooner see Ward play than Dawks

I am assuming Ince is cup tied?

I would give the fellow with the funny a game or at least put him on the bench.

My powers of predictions were spot on it seems! Not that it's any consolation at the moment..
