The midfield would get battered, Legs is so underrated its a joke. When on form he bosses the midfield

Fair play to him, he must listen to the fans

Judging from NewsNow stories, Reading seems to get a lot of coverage in Jamaica thanks to Jobi Mac, and I would assume now helped by Mariappa. Seems like we have a habit of gathering a nice following in certain countries, e.g. there, Iceland, Ireland, Australia, etc.

Though there isn't a lot of competition today for their coverage at this time, so I'm probably reading into nothing....

Hes my favorite player, maybe we can keep him at the club as set piece coach. No pace fair enough, but shit left back who cant defend is completely wrong.

EDIT: Left back is correct though

WEST BROM v READING (15:00 BST)
West Brom make three changes from the side that won 3-0 at Fulham, with Romelu Lukaka making his full league debut, while Chris Brunt and Zoltan Gera also come in. Shane Long and Marc-Antoine Fortune drop to the bench, while Peter Odemwingie is suspended.

Reading make two changes from the team that lost 3-0 against Tottenham as the Royals look for their first points of the season on the road. Nicky Shorey and Adam Le Fondre replace Ian Harte and Jem Karacan, who drops to the bench.

I'm pleased, these are the only changes I'd have wanted. Thought Shorey had a decent chance of coming in, but didn't expect Karacan to be dropped after the new contract. Excited to see what ALF can do with another full 90, I liked his show at Stoke.

[1871royals]

Not sure about Jobi playing - think hes been poor this season, hopefully he can have a better game today.

With Kanu scoring coming off the bench thought he may have been in.

Gutted that Ian Harte has been dropped?

[leww_rfc]

[phil in cornwall]

I hope Shorey isn't going to celebrate when he scores.
