Sam Harrison I would imagine. Malife, Dorsett, Duah and Kanu were missing from the squad which I think just left O’C, Harrison & Ward as contenders.

It was Harrison. I thought that he was good, quick, strong in the air and confident on the ball.

What was the style of play like? Classic Leam hoofball or something more refined

Classic Leam in my opinion.

Mostly slow passing at the back that ultimately ends in a panicked hoof. Plenty of opportunities for a forward ball that ended with a sloppy misplaced pass. Put it this way, most of the first half was in Reading’s half, against a Farnborough 11 that were all playing together for the first time.
