Reading (4-4-2): Federici; Cummings, Mills, Gorkss, Pearce; Leigertwood, Tabb, McAnuff (c), Robson-Kanu; Church, Le Fondre

Apart from an out of form Leigertwood I like the look of that team.

Subs: McCarthy, Harte, Karacan, Hunt, Manset

For the first time in a while I have confidence in 11 players on the pitch AND our 5 substitutes. No one there just to make up numbers. Hard game today, but I think we could scrape a 2-1 win.

I think its about time Dellor got off of Mills back, there is a reason Harte is not in the team. In fact there are at least two.

sounding like a good start from us, creating a few chances. Jobi sounding better than his usual self of late

[johnnym]

Church/ALF combo sounds good along with contribution from MacAnuff
urz!

Evening from Hong Kong; just had a spectacular Chinese National Day fireworks celebration here - really good!

So no sitting in the Upper West today, and no BBCRB commentary; how we doing people???

[Libertine]

It sounds like we're playing well today...from what I hear even though we haven't scored yet we are the better team so far.

sounds like a good performance. feds has made a couple of decent saves but we're also creating decent chances, not long to go until half time. happy with performance so far

Half time. 0-0

Sounds like Church is having another good game and Alf has been menacing too.

Encouraging - especially against one of the 3 or 4 early pace-setters in the Division.

[Ian Royal]

Reading start brightly and have a few chances we can't quite make come off. M'boro start to come back into it until the teams are fairly even.

50% Possession 50%
0 Goals 0
1 Shots on 4
4 shots off 1
3 corners 6

We had 66% possession for the first 15 minutes or so.

Still no 1st half goal then this season...

I'm pleased Church is growing in confidence as his performances improve; if he had gone out on loan to a League 1 club (as some were calling for) I think it may have finished him as an RFC player.

Very encouraged by Church. He was at a crossroads and it seems he has chosen the right path. Good for him, good for the team. I've always liked him as a player. Hope he continues to put it together...

Ah - cheers; I think I was in Macau then...........

[Royal Lady]

Schards just rang at half time, he said we don't look like scoring - so be prepared for us to bag a net full of goals now! LOLz. I'm sat here waiting for a delivery. They just rang and said they'd be here within the hour. Great.
