Friendly vs Portsmouth

[Deathy]

Who else did then - if it was 433? Not Rasiak I suggest!

Who says it was 4-3-3? It was a friendly, it could easily have been 3-5-2 with wing backs. Friendlies often mean experimentation.

Interesting team - Tabb left back, Mooney midfield

Club captain Ivar Ingimarsson made a successful return to action on Friday afternoon when he lined up in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Portsmouth at Hogwood Park.

The Icelander played the first half on his first appearance since January, and skippered the side to a 2-0 victory.

Grzegorz Rasiak and Darren O'Dea were our scorers, while another new signing Brian Howard started his first match in a hooped shirt and both our goals came from his corners.

Reading were comfortable winners and it was a good workout for our team during this international break, with three new signings getting valuable time on the pitch.

Reading: Hamer; Kelly, Tabb, Ingimarsson (c) (Mills HT), O'Dea; Davies, Howard (Sigurdsson 72), Mooney; Antonio (Bryant 69), Henry, Rasiak
Subs: Locke, Cummings, Kebe, Robson-Kanu

Who is Locke?

[premiership_bound]

He must be lost

Who is Locke?

He's the key to the future.

[Yellowcoat]

Locke is the Academy goalkeeper.

[Archies Volley II]

433 works with Davies, Howard and Henry as the midfield 3, Antonio and Mooney wide and Rasiak as the central striker.

[Adz1871]

Davies, Howard, Antonio, Henry

Mooney, Rasiak.

4-4-oxf*rd-2

Swap Antonio and Davies round.

I wasn't doing the actual line up, just stating it could of been a 4 man midfield.

433 works with Davies, Howard and Henry as the midfield 3, Antonio and Mooney wide and Rasiak as the central striker.

Mooney's played wide left before, and Henry has only been played centrally so far this season, so seems quite likely. Although a central midfield of three attacking players is an odd choice.

I guess it would be Davies sitting back - maybe trying it in a friendly to see how it works?
