At the risk of being shouted down....

Hurlock for Parkinson, Curle for Wood, Dixon for Cureton, Forster on the bench for impact value.

You've got to love Gilkes at right back when combined with Scotty left midfield. At least that will surprise them.

For me

Hurlock for Parkinson, Curle for Wood, Dixon for Cureton, Forster on the bench for impact value

.

What Dirk said, plus Gilkes on the left wing, Little on the right and Osborn in for Sidwell.

Oi Oi Saveloy CF Les Ferdinand

Very funny.

Robin Friday would have to feature in any Reading All Time team.

Anyone who saw him play would agree.

LUX · by **LUX** » 17 Nov 2007 13:43

I agree, but it was Division 4, Gordon.

TheLawnMowerMan · by **TheLawnMowerMan** » 17 Nov 2007 13:56

Surely Chris Woods starts in goal with his 43 England caps.

Does Ray Ranson get a shout at RB?

Gordons Cumming · by **Gordons Cumming** » 17 Nov 2007 14:15

LUX I agree, but it was Division 4, Gordon.

He was quite a few levels up from that I can tell you.

He could easily have played with the big boys.

You obviously never saw him play.

Prepared to get roasted....but....Darren Caskey anyone?

Yes overweight fat bas I know...but on his day he could change any game!

Shaka's Giant Hands Prepared to get roasted....but....Darren Caskey anyone?

Yes overweight fat bas I know...but on his day he could change any game!

Definitely - an on-form Caskey would be unbeatable

Tutti Frutti Gilkes at right back? Oh Lord.

Michael Duberry (I know, I know, but if you think about it..)

No there really is nothing to think about with that shocking choice. Duberry?? He'd be lucky to make the greatest RFC RESERVE TEAM

Behindu · by **Behindu** » 17 Nov 2007 18:09

Gilkes is as English as Shaka !

And more English than Lita ....
