[Ian Royal]

Not sure about the team but how about guessing the formation?

We are yet to see 5-3-2 as in 94/95.

Not complicated enough. 3-3-2-2 on the other hand is a posibility.

[Maguire]

I'd probably start the same team as Saturday (although I'd like to see Hamer in goal).

He's got to start getting some consistency in his selection, until he does that the results will continue to be all over the place. I'd probably prefer Marek to play in place of Howard/Sigurdsson and I think I'd rather Tabb over Karacan at the minute. But really he should go with what he did Saturday, and just don't panic like he did Saturday and muck around with the sodding system in the 2nd half.

Yeah I agree again - the team I posted above ^^is the same as Saturday only with Magic instead of Gylfi. I just think the latter is a bit knackered and needs a break.

greed except for dropping siggy. 4 of our 7 goals have come from him. Plus he got one in the cup as well.

He's done well but I just think he looks shagged and needs a rest. Let him recover for Saturday.

[Ian Royal]

I'd rather give him a rest on saturday. We've got no chance at home. At least we *might* win away.

Well he has played 6 league games in a row and is only 19. Could be good to rest him one game.

I fear Brendan will not pick Rasiak who scored against Watford like he didn´t pick Church after he scored against Peterborough! We need consistency in team selection?

[Ryn]

Hamer

Cummings
Ingi
Mills
O'Dea

McAnuff
Karacan
Tabb
Bertrand

Ras
Hunt/Church

This one. I'd love to see Bertrand playing as a left winger. We might even score a goal if we play this team.

[Ryn]

If you're going for Torres/Rooney, you might as well have Tevez up front with him and Rooney just behind. Stick Giggs on the left, SWP on the right and Gerrard playing the holding midfield role.

Although we would still struggle to score.

Now you're being unrealistic!

[LoyalRoyal22]

Sorry if I've missed this one down the list or you think it's too early.

4-4-2 preferably and then stick with the formation and XI for 3 games minimum.
....................Federici
Cummings, Ingimarsson, O'Dea, Bertrand
Davies, Karacan, Siggurdsson, McAnuff
.................Hunt, Church

Subs: Hamer, Mills, Tabb, Rasiak*, Kebe, Matejovsky, Gunnarsson

I'd settle for Rodger's picking exactly the same team. If he has to make changes if it is to remove anyone but Howard, Kebe or Rasiak from the XI he should be hung drawn and quartered. And preferably only one change if he has to tinker. Bye bye Howard.


*until Long's fit, although Mooney may be worth a go.

You have it all wrong.

[Maguire]

He usually does m8.

Well we'll never know because Rodgers won't play it. Hopefully he sticks out the same side as against Watford.

Depends which numbers come out of the tombola.

[It Is What It Is]

im hving as much trouble picking th eteam as rogers is


i like siggurdson, and karacan
and howard looked good to me in his first couple of games, matejovski should play IMO
and mcanuffs got good reviews
i also like tabb, and bryn.


can we play 2-6-2?

............................Feds............................

....................O'dea........Ivar.......................

...............Sigg.......Bryn........Tabb....................

..McAnuff...............Marek.....................Howard..

................Rasiak..........................................

.....................................Hunt......................


With Hunt playing off of Rasiak, and the midfield 6 ( Back 3 playing in between the front 3 kind of) Like it !

[Maguire]

4-5-1, thus:

Fed
Snoop
O'Dea
Ivar
Bertrand
Kebe
Magic
Karacan
Howard
McAnuff
Rasiak

I see you have Kebe in your team...hence the question "Do you get out often" ??

Too often when it comes to Reading games

9/11 right - surprised by Church over one of the other strikers. Bryn instead of Magic is fair enough away from home.
