Norwich Away - Match Thread

[tomrfcurz]

Jobi McAnuff out due to injury, Simon Church demoted to the bench as McDermott's gone for a 4-5-1 by the looks of it. Hal Robson-Kanu and Brian Howard in to replace those two. Not sure how we'll fair without Jobi, he's been coming back to form of recent IMO and we all know Longy isn't great up top on his own so hope HRK gets better with his deliveries cos we need to use the wings effectively, obviously! Pearce was reported as fit by both BBC and Sky before today but no room for him in the 18

Sermon is back in the 18 for Norwich after a long spell out and he's going to be dangerous if he does come in some point today. Whitbread is out of the starting 11 for Norwich and so is Simeon Jackson, both on the bench.

Reading:
Federici; Griffin, Harte, Ingimarsson, Mills (c); Karacan, Tabb; Howard, Kebe, Robson-Kanu; Long
Subs: McCarthy, Khizanishvili, Gunnarsson, Antonio, Church, Hunt, Manset

Norwich:
Ruddy; R Martin, Drury, Barnett, Ward; Hoolahan, Lansbury, Crofts, Fox; Holt (c), C Martin
Subs: Steer, Whitbread, Smith, Lappin, Surman, Jackson, Wilbraham

Predict Long not to score, Kebe to have a much improved game and Church to score off the bench from a Howard through ball.

[PEARCEY]

Hmmm...so so. HRK needs to do lot more today and not keen Howard is in the side. Shame Pearce hasn't come back in as I thought he was fit. He should be on the bench at least.

Nothing on MyP2P so i doubt it

[Barry the bird boggler]

Why o why o why does Robson-Kanu get a start over Antonio

[Row Z Royal]

[tomrfcurz]

Still 0-0

McDermott out. Madejski out. Sack the board.

[Svlad Cjelli]

Is Pearce injured?

[leww_rfc]

Yeah.

[tomrfcurz]

Is Pearce injured?

Good question. Sky and BBC etc reported him as fit and in the running to start again but he hasn't made the bench today. Could be that McD doesn't think Mills or Ingimarsson have done much wrong and that Zurab is a strong defensive sub so might as well let Pearce have a few more training sessions? I don't know.

[tomrfcurz]

RFC won a corner in the first 50 secs, Howard fcuked it up

[Svlad Cjelli]

Followed by Harte f*cking up a free kick.

[Svlad Cjelli]

And the RFC Twitter feed calls it " a positive opening few minutes"
