Reading Team (4-2-3-1): Federici; Griffin, Bertrand, Ingimarsson (c), Mills; Gunnarsson, Karacan; McAnuff, Kebe, Howard; Long
Subs: Hamer, Khizanishvili, Pearce, Davies, Church, Rasiak, Thorvaldsson

Great to see Davies on the bench

no wingers on the bench and 3 strikers... well done doughnut.

Two out and out wingers on the pitch and two players on the bench who can play out wide.

Karacan and Gunnarsson to break up Donny's play, Howard to keep the ball and play in Kebe & McAnuff.

A lot rests on Long's shoulders. But it's a sensible selection to keep it tight for the first 45 minutes or so and see where we go from there. Especially given we've been poor first half in some of McDermott's recent games.

BMcD has managed to change the formation and set up of team as a specific tactic to play against Donny, with only two changes in personel. One of which is forced by injury.

I got a good feeling about this,2-0 to Royals

I understand the idea behind the first 11 but I'm concerned by the options on the bench. As manager I feel you should prepare for any situation that arises and if both kebe and McAnuff were to get injured you would like at least one out and out winger to be a good replacement. HRK can play on the wing and up fron so having him in for Rasiak on the bench would have been a better option IMO. He also provides a different attacking option from the bench. Yes, Davies and Thor, AND church, can play wide but as I said having natural replacement for the worst possible scenario would be wise.

[Ian Royal]

Rasiak offers something totally different to the other strikers. If you were dropping any of the strikers it would be Church or Thor, not Rasiak.

You don't have to download anything from the link I sent either. The 'others' link just sends you to the link that you have posted. The media player link just opens up windows media player or realplayer with the game. The links like sopcast and veetle require downloading but I didn't mention them for that reason.

Yes Sir.

Aye, PR. I chose a media player link. Works great except that the announcer is speaker some sort of strange, romanic tongue.

And they showed Kebe up top with Long and Gunnar on the wing. Haha.
