Interesting that the OS/Facebook/Twitter feed do not even say that Federici is injured. Or am I missing something?

COYR.

[LoyalRoyalFan]

Why have Reading gone 4-4-2 anyway?

[Snowball]

and Guthrie not in the squad

[Mr.T10]

Taylor is god damn woeful. I have been dreading the day he started for us...

Federici might be injured but surely Andersen deserves his chance before Taylor?

Andersen is not in the 25 man squad.

Andersen is not in the 25 man squad.

Meaning overall, not just today. As soon as submit I was expecting that reply

Andersen not in 25 man squad, Guthrie left out cos he's crap and doesnt want to play anyway, federici presumably got an injury, though lack of comment is a bit worrying....

Sky Sports News said that Fedders picked up an injury last night. I'm pretty worried about this tbh, Taylor's first PL game for five years I think they said, hope he can get up to speed quickly.

Apart from the Guthrie omission and Federici 'injury', I think this is a more positive team selection than the one against Wigan at home.

Come on Reading!

Overall, I agree!

[BenSmith91]

Hal is gonna come off the bench and do the business for us today. Write it in blood.

[RoyalinBracknell]

BBC Berks having a nightmare today. They spend time asking why Andersen isn't playing when he's not in the 25 man squad and then ask why Henley is when he's under the age of 21. They should know all this.

(And now Ady Williams has just laughed when a texter has challenged his lack of knowledge!)

What was he doing to pick up an injury last night?

Think I worded that wrong, it was something along the lines of "picked up a late injury yestersday". Nervous about this one, but hopefully Mucha throws them in at the other end.

Disagreement with Brian I expect

Taylor's first PL game for five years I think

Maybe so but it's also Mucha's PL debut.

[Sanguine]

Good to see Pearce back. The complete omission of Guthrie is appalling, and 4-4-2 with that midfield puts pretty much our entire game on Akpan.

[BenSmith91]

63 league appearances for Taylor and he is 32. Whaaaaaaat!?

Career sub, a bit like Brad Jones, and in a few years, Ross Turnbull.
