Reading Match Thread

Recommended Posts

Big call by Farke and big chance for Todd.

Am a little surprised, but Farke clearly doesn't want to change the system.

No problems with this but I hope we have the creativity in the side if Reading park the bus. Cantwell knows what is expected and I'm sure will be at 200%.

I think he's looking for Todd's running and energy.

I was going to go into it too much in the other threads, but I can remember going to watch this game in 2011, when we ended up drawing with bottom of the table Preston (though would have been different if Wes hadn't missed the penalty). That day Phil Brown got ten men behind the ball, closed the space and pressed our guys really well.

Hoping for a win, and hoping for a shambolic Reading 😛

Cantwell will be desperate to impress tonight. After playing pretty well in his last run in the team he would've been extremely frustrated to sit on the sidelines for so long so I'm expecting him to run through brick walls and chase everything down. Whether he can match Emi's contribution in the final third remains to be seen but this change shouldn't hurt the structure of the team. Farke quite rightly prefers continuity and this is the change that upsets the balance of the team the least, but there's no denying Emi is a massive loss so I'm hoping for big performances from Hernandez and Stiepermann tonight as one thing Cantwell is very good at is intelligently creating space for others to work in.

We could actually inadvertently relegate Ipswich tonight 😉

I'd rather we win. Ipswich will wait.

We look a bit static, but Reading are sitting very deep so difficult for us to really run at them.

Todd isn't exactly impressing... 

Hernandez has only turned it on going away from goal. 

We are missing the penetration that Buendia provides.
