Oh... Let's try and make it not too disappointing a one.

A start for Edwards, looking forward to seeing how he does. McCarthy and Guthrie on the bench which is a surprise.

[Simon's Church]

Wow strong team. Can see us winning by 2 or 3.

[NewCorkSeth]

woooo

[yappy]

Williams injured, Karacan injured, Guthrie lacking fitness & Akpan finds himself on the bench with a central defender favoured over him...

[Mr Angry]

Surprised at McCarthy being on the bench; let the transfer speculation commence!

[Gordons Cumming]

When is Karacan due back?

[Royality creeps In]

Reading fans still stuck on M6 No where near ground due to an accident

Can't see us getting anything from this game with this team ... our midfield looks so lightweight ... and Cummings on the left ... gulp!

[Mike Hunt]

Do you think that Cummings is playing left back, or right wing? He played there against Cardiff in the PO Semis didn't he?

Would be much happier with Obita at LB and Cummings somewhere in midfield .... but I get the feeling Obita wants to be a LW.

[MmmMonsterMunch]

I've actually really missed the footy.

Come on lads - surprise me & get a point or more today.

[P!ssed Off]

Cummings will be playing left back, Obita CM.
Guaranteed.

[Basingstoke Royal]

Happy with that. Much better balance with Cummings and obita on the left and it means obita isn't wasted at left back.

Akpan is shit. Glad he is not playing,

[Gordons Cumming]

I haven't missed the despair and desperate disappointment................

[Very near...far away]

We are going up. Without a doubt.

Correct sir

Obita is not on the left.

Incorrect. Obita is not playing CM because he'd rather play LW than LB. He'll be back to LB once we get players back from injury.
