HRK has tweeted himself and he is definately out.

Good news then

Ditto

A chance for yet another player to leapfrog Antonio in Brian's plans then.

[3 veesinarow]

Fed
Cummings, Pearce, Gorkss, Mills / Griffin
Kebe, McAnuff, Mullins, Cywka
Roberts, Hunt.

It's not great is it... still we've had far worse teams at this level!

Nine of that eleven played on Friday - it's hardly wholesale changes, is it?

I'm not saying it is, but it's a pretty suspect looking midfield given our tendency to play a defensive central midfield pairing. For a very important game.

[Man Friday]

no

we need time to panic

[FiNeRaIn]

This is some depleted squad, any other season and getting a point there is a good result. We can't allow the sham back in, please win, that'll really deflate them.

[Friday's Legacy]

Agree a 6 point lead tonight will kill West Ham's hopes of automatic promotion.

[Avon Royal]

From what I've heard.

Jem = out
Leigertwood = doubt
Tabb = doubt
Harte = doubt
HRK = doubt

Really hoping at least one of Tabby and Ledge can make it.

If they were all out it doesn't bear thinking about

But even if they play they are not going to be 100%

IMO he should get the important players fit for Friday, the crunch game, and go to Brighton
with a few more squad players and be happy if he can manage a draw.

The above doesn't bode well

Yep, and in the main those far worse teams have tended to lose.

What a stupid comment.

For Brighton/West Ham/Southampton, yes.

They can't keep being crap, look at their team on paper, its cost about 15 times more than anyone elses in this division, surely the mercenaries will pick up some wins on the trot soon?

We just need to grind it home boys, grind it home. Really sloppy performance with a late headed corner from pearce please with fed making some heroic saves. I want to read " ffs brighton are battering them and can't score" on kumb and saintsweb.

Indeed. A big from me.

[RobRoyal]

Somewhere along the line TBM has turned into a TB WUM. Probably a result of promotion anxiety.

It's quite unbecoming really.

FFS what is supposed to be wrong with him? Looked ok in the match and after?

Reading tweets about London Pride at the ground.


Fcuking homos.

Team news

Reading (4-4-2) Federici; Cummings, Harte, Gorkss, Pearce; McAnuff (c), Mullins, Kebe, Cywka; Hunt, Roberts

[Friday's Legacy]

Subs

McCarthy, Gunnarsson, Afobe, Church, Le Fondre

[Friday's Legacy]

Got to be happy with that starting eleven!!

Pleased with Cywka starting too. He will run at people and hopefully even get a penalty... the lovely little lightweight.

[MmmMonsterMunch]

I am bricking it now.

[Avon Royal]

If Bryn comes on to score a last minute winner then any Reading fan that doesn't end up on the pitch should be banned from ever having an away ticket ever again.

[Friday's Legacy]

Amazing to think we have Karacan, Leigertwood, Tabb, Robson-Kanu, Connolly and Andersen all injured but still put out a top quality starting eleven!
