Starting XI against Forest

[silas]

Looks like Shorey will be on his way, but question is will a new left back come in before next Sunday. From what Coppell said yesterday sounds like there might be....

So-

Hahnemann

Rosenior, Duberry, Ingimarsson, New LB/S. Hunt

Kebe, Harper, Matejovsky, Convey

Doyle, Lita

Subs-
Andersson
Cisse
Karacan
S.Hunt if new left back / Long if not
N. Hunt

[rhroyal]

As per my original locked post I still see little change from:

1. Hahnemann
2. Murty
3. Bloke from Brentford
4. Bloke from Brighton
5. Young starlet from premiership reserves
6. Old lag
7. Failed winger from northern club
8. Overrated U21 international (failed)
9. Irish lad
10. and his mate...or brother (update)
11. Yank

I struggle to match those descriptions with Reading players.

----------------Hahnemann---------------

---Rosenior---Ivar---Doobs---S.Hunt---

---Kebe---Matejovsky---Harps---Convey---

--------------Doyle-----------Lita-------------

Subs: Andersen, Sonko, Karacan (def plays a part), Long, N.Hunt

[chandog]

USA
Rosenior Doobs/Bikey(if he stays) Ivar New LB/Golbourne
Kebe/New RM Marek Harps/Gunnarsson S.Hunt/Convey
Doyle Lita

Subs: Andersen, Sonks, Murty, Karacan, N.Hunt Maybe Cisse or Henry

If Doyle leaves then N.Hunt up front and Long on the bench

[Arch]

USA
Rosenior Doobs/Bikey(if he stays) Ivar New LB/Golbourne
Kebe/New RM Marek Harps/Gunnarsson S.Hunt/Convey
Doyle Lita

Subs: Andersen, Sonks, Murty, Karacan, N.Hunt Maybe Cisse or Henry

If Doyle leaves then N.Hunt up front and Long on the bench

Golbourne and Gunnarsson are both out long-term, and Murty probably won't be fit. Otherwise, yep, those players could be playing including the ones we haven't bought yet.

[howser]

If and when Shorey goes the line up will as near as damn it pick itself

USA
Rosenior
Duberry
Ingi
Hunt S
Kebe
Marek
Harper
Convey
Lita
Doyle

Subs :- Anderson, N Hunt, Sonko, Karacan, Pearce

Not very convinced that we have enough in reserve at this time it is going to be a mixture of older very experienced and academy no experience and thats a big gap.

[winchester_royal]

I would go with :

USA
Rosenior
Doobs
Sonko
Hunt S
Kebe
Karacan
Marek
Convey
Lita
Doyle

Andersen
Pearce
Harper
Henry
Hunt/Long

I think Karacan is the real deal, and is a more suitable partner to Marek.

We will also need Sonko's pace to deal with Earnshaw.

[skipper]

Han

Shorey
Sonko
Doobs
Ros

Hunt
Mat
Harper
Kebe / Henry

Lita
Doyler

With Convey, Karacan, Long, other of kebe/henry and Pearce maybe with a goalie

can't wait!

[earleyroyal]

I would go with :

USA
Rosenior
Doobs
Sonko
Hunt S
Kebe
Karacan
Marek
Convey
Lita
Doyle

Andersen
Pearce
Harper
Henry
Hunt/Long

I think Karacan is the real deal, and is a more suitable partner to Marek.

We will also need Sonko's pace to deal with Earnshaw.

Fred says 'Sonko to give away a penalty and get sent off by chopping down Earnshaw in the first 30 minutes (if he plays) - 4/7'

For me:

Hahnemann - Murty, Duberry, Ingimarsson, Rosenior - Kebe, Harper, Matejovsky, S Hunt - Lita, Doyle

Not good enough at left back, in central midfield (two lightweight players, when Bikey comes back that problem goes) or on the wings to be considered a serious promotion contender. A proper left back and some cover would be top of the priority list, seems even more strange that we let DLC go on a free when he would've been able to play at left back.

We also let Oster go who is miles better than Kebe, I trusted our management's transfer dealings for years but they have failed dismally in the last couple of windows and it looks likely to continue.

[madreadingfan]

just realised ive done this twice with 2 basically different teams

[Biscuit'04]

1. Mikhailov (syrup)
2. Bailie
3. Richardson (squeaky)
4. Beavon (mind the missed C4 penalty + Leicester follow up)
5. Hicks (past the diving Niedzwiecki- he must have been 30 yards out!)
6. Wood (quality)
7. Hurlock (less qaulity)
8. Bailey (weight)
9. Senior
10.Bremner
11.Rogers (mind your tongue).

Subs- none needed.

Team is based on the likely outcome of shorey leaving and us not getting a replacement left back.

[double d]

1. K.Doyle
2. K.Doyle
3. K.Doyle
4. K.Doyle
5. K.Doyle
6. K.Doyle
7. K.Doyle
8. K.Doyle
9. K.Doyle
10. K.Doyle
11. K.Doyle

We all dream of a team of Kevin Doyles'

[Platypuss]

From the OS it looks like we have central midfield issues with both Marek and Cisse struggling. With Gunnar out longer-term it looks like Harper and Karacan with not a lot else to fall back on.

Or we could ask Shunt to fill in.

personally id love karacan to start the season-really push harps for the place when matejovski comes back

[Ian Royal]

Assuming we get a Left Back SHunt would make a passable back up until Marek/Cisse are fit. Providing it isn't a couple of months out. I think the only reason Gunnar is still with us is because he's injured.

[ArfnipIsARoyal]

With news on Shorey's imminent departure, my team would be.....

...............Hahnemann.............

Rosenior..Doobs.......Ivar.....S. Hunt/ Shorey replacement

Kebe.....Matejovski..Harper...Convey / Hunt if shorey replacement is in

.............Lita........Doyle...............

[The 17 Bus]

Hahnemann

Murty- Sonko- Inga-Convey

Kebe-Karacan-Harper-S Hunt

N Hunt- Lita

Bench
Anderson
Rosenior
Doobs
Long
Doyle

No long ball stuff, play it on the grass and lets see some runs into the box from all players where possible.
