Happy with that side, full debuts for Cooper and Tanner


Looks like McCarthy is defo off.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Where's Tshibola?

[Humanistic]

Injured, along with Hector

[double d]

Wonder is Dave-Royal is there?

[Ian Royal]

Same as usual. No, but he'll claim he is.

[Pseud O'Nym]

Wonder is Dave-Royal is there?

Probably not entirely.

[Norfolk Royal]

Someone ought to set up a parody of a parody account to parody Dave-Royal.

He never is all there. Good comedy value though. Imagine if he actually is a real person.....

Not sure if anyone would want to even pretend to be that stupid!!

[blueroyals]

More injuries?

[P!ssed Off]

Wonder is Dave-Royal is there?

Why are you so obsessed with Dave-Royal?
Bit weird...

[SCIAG]

I like the team, but...

Royals subs: Andersen, Griffin, Long, Stacey, Fosu, Edwards, Taylor

That's a bench containing no central defenders, central midfielders or strikers.

OK, we have Blackman and Mackie who could play up front, as well as Taylor, Tanner and Stacey at a push. Taylor could also fill in as a central midfielder. But if Pearce has to go off then we're in big trouble.

Sensible bench: Andersen, Sweeney, Griffin/Long, Kelly, Stacey, Taylor, Samuel

It's a pretty damning assessment of Sweeney and Samuel that Adkins prefers younger players in different positions ahead of them.

Oh, and I would be surprised if we don't see at least one début from the bench so the club can talk about how incredible this record breaking season is. If things are going badly then I expect Fosu and one of the full backs will make it on.

Sweeney got pitch time ahead of Cooper in pre-season didn't he? He isn't injured too is he, he seems to have just vanished. Samuel not even getting on the bench is a bit baffling.

[RoyalinBracknell]

Has BBC Berkshire gone off?

[Nameless]

Presumably Samuel is being held back for Saturday.

[RoyalBlue]

At this rate we might as well cash in and charge supporters to play!

[sandman]

Ian, can you tell us what to do when the radio is broken?

[Pseud O'Nym]

Has BBC Berkshire gone off?

No, it's always been like that.

[Ian Royal]

Ian, can you tell us what to do when your radio is broken?

Yeah, use the internet like normal people.

[sandman]

As if you're normal.
