Lots of praise for Royston Drenthe from Adkins. Got the impression everyone has been very impressed with what they've seen so far #readingfc

I have to say, thus far I've been very impressed with the new EP guy tbf

Ditto, he's pretty likeable. But then, I liked Fordham as well. Can't stand Jonathan Low, mind.

[MouldyRoyal]

Agreed

[Royal91]

Currently I would go. Based on paper.

Taylor, Morrison, McAnuff, Kebe, Alf, Karacan.


Not sure what to do with Carrico, kelly, Akpan and Blackman. Not enough room for everyone.

Agreed. Think this is our best team, though I'd perhaps swap HRK with Alf to play 4-4-2. Still not sure why people are convinced that McAnuff would be the ideal AMC, I never really rated him in the middle.

I'd put in Akpan/Kelly as the 7th sub though. And I'd rotate Kelly and Gunter at right back.

HRK--------------------------Drenthe

-----Le Fondre----(New Striker)-----

If HRK goes then put McCleary in his place, Kebe if he isn't injured. Possibly would have Akpan in place of Williams but not sure yet. Wouldn't mind Pogrebnyak but not that bothered if he goes and would probably prefer it if we got someone else in to replace him tbh

Yeah, must be a hard call to make given you've never seen one of them play.

With Williams rotating with Carrico, Morrison getting some games and Pog playing his part.

Calm it Kermit, you've never seen him play either. (You've probably never seen either of them play.)

I think Williams will be a good signing, whether I would start him remains to be seen, as I rate Akpan and think he will show his worth at this level.
