| Team news | This is Reading's first
friendly against league opposition - and so will also be the first with
what could be considered a "normal" first team side. Expect to
see a few youngsters get a run-out, however Pardew could well start to build
up the regular side starting with this fixture. Royals side: Pick any from: Scott Howie, Adam Lockwood, Barry Hunter, Adie Williams, Darren Caskey, Phil Parkinson, Sean Evers, Jim Mcintyre, Nicky Forster, Joey Alcott, John Polston, Scott Williams, Jimmy Crawford, Stuart Gosby, Phil Whitehead, Graeme Murty, Matt Robinson, Adi Viveash, John Mackie, Sammy Igoe, Keith Jones, Nathan Tyson, Darius Henderson, Lee Hodges, Craig Brown, Joe Gamble, Adam Campion, Jamie Ashdown. |
