Subs: Al-Habsi, Obita, Hector, Blackman, Cox, Fosu, Stacey.

Obita dropped?

[Philly Flyer]

Good to see Fosu on the bench (along with Blackman)

[floyd__streete]

WTAF has he dropped Obita

[Johann]

What has HRK done to warrant a start , he seems bomb proof .

[Royal Ginger]

Obita took that whack to the leg and was in clear pain for the last 15 minutes of the first half on Sunday. Could just be not wanting to play him with a knock when there's a perfectly good left back on the bench.

This... plus we have another game in 3 days time. If Obita is less than 100%, makes sense to rest him for the midweek game.

[Esteban]

Is this 433 with Quinn on the left, or 442 with a narrow midfield?

[arthurfondrelli]

Is there a stream?

[Ian Royal]

Back to 4 central midfielders. Sigh. At least Blackman and Fosu could potentially do some damage off the bench.

It seems like Ferdinand and McShane are doing well. But I can't help but think with the little creativity we have, putting Hector back in is a risk worth taking given his ability to carry the ball forward and pick a pass, which I suspect is better than Ferdinand's.

If we still look narrow and unable to score and he doesn't bring on Stacey or Fosu at some point, it'll be baffling.

This? Radio signal is dodgy tonight!

He's not going to change the centre back pairing after not conceding in over 3 hours of football.

[Crowbar6753]

Pretty sure Robson-Kanu can play on the right as well, so why not give him a shot at right wing with Stacey as an able replacement if all goes pear shaped. Then play Quinn on the other wing.

Living in London, I can't listen to radio Berkshire for whatever reason, not even online. Is there an alternative?

Does registering for Unibet work?

[Lacoste]

So he has wide options yet starts with 4 central midfield players?

WTAF is he doing?

[LWJ]

'Reading look superb' Tim Dellor

[RG30]

Still 0-0 fold the club

[Old Biscuitman]

It's because he has a very defensive mind set.
