A growing injury list might at least make the manager use better sense in team selection and playing formation.

[Armadillo Roadkill]

I like to think I'm a pretty dedicated long term Reading supporter, but honestly, I just don't care.

If we could just accept avoiding relegation and cancel the rest of the games I'd take it.

The skipper keeps beating them up.

[Zammo]

Past caring.

[John Smith]

Keown
Ferdinand
Cooper
Taylor

That back four though. What has our season come to

[The Cap]

Whichever team is picked, it would seem that, in Southbanker's words, we now have 'a sorry collection of misfits'. Qualified by the fact that Aitor Karanka’s team are currently an amazing 31 points ahead of the Royals, and 33 goals better off. The last couple of games have certainly shown the 'misfits' in full flow, as we wait on the FA's decision regarding McShane and Williams. Not really sure why the former was trying to play it all down yesterday. As though it was a storm in a tea cup. Er, no. Not when it's all over the box, and constantly being replayed, for every man and his dog to see. Ne'er mind, Vyds will be on his way back to Watfud soon, thereby saving Bri the regular frustration of having to defend a player whose confidence is clearly shot. In fact, a shame that more of his aren't on target.

Leeds are regressing as quickly as we are.
Much that Id like us to try and finish the season off, Im pretty Ok with Brian permanently dumping the loans here. Get Rakkels on for 90 minutes, just for the LOLs. And play Jordan on the wing.

id be happy enough with that tbf, though I personally may have utilised a loanee in the midfield somewhere

is it because oxf*rd all actually happened?

Quick look and unless i missed something we're safe if we win or if MKDons lose and Charlton don't win.

Yeah right, hence the FA's involvement. Or, translated in your world, as 'seeing sweet FA'.

[SCIAG]

Current list of senior absentees: McShane, Williams, Gunter, Obita, Tshibola, HRK, Kermogant.

Believe (not sure) that Keown, Sweeney, and Novakovich are also injured, as is Dan Akinwumni. Long, Dickie, Stacey, and Sheppard are out on loan. Don't know what's happened to Owusu but I think he's injured. Long and short of it is, our fit youth right backs are Tennai Watson (18/19) and Teddy Howe (16/17). I now fully expect Keown to start against Leeds and Akinwumni to come off the bench...

I'd like: Al Habsi; Watson, Ferdinand, Cooper, Taylor; McCleary, Norwood, Quinn, Rakels; Piazon; Vydra Subs: Bond, Hector, Griffin, Evans, John, Barrett, Cox.

We'll get: Al-Habsi; McCleary, Ferdinand, Cooper, Taylor; Norwood; Evans, Quinn; Piazon; Cox, Vydra. Subs: Bond, Hector, Watson, Alex, John, Rakels, Barrett

How often do clubs have to choose between their eighth-choice right back and their only right winger to play right back?

[Slater1993]

If we carry on with the diamond and Gunter and Obita injured. and Kermorgant isn't with his wife.

My XI if a Diamond:

Al Habsi
McCleary Ferdinand Cooper Taylor
Norwood
Evans Quinn
Cox
Rakels Kermorgant

McDermotts XI:

Al Habsi
McCleary Ferdinand Cooper Taylor
Norwood
Evans Quinn
Piazon
Cox Kermorgant

[Lower West]

Kermorgant 's wife is expecting a baby so may well be excused.

[comeonthebiscuitmen]

Anyone travelling with a spare ticket? Wasn't landing to go but Happen to be in Leeds today, if you've got a cheap one I'll take it - not paying £30+ though!

[RoyalBlue]

Kermorgant 's wife is expecting a baby so may well be excused.

F8Ck me! We were considering playing her?!

Mind you, probably couldn't do much worse.

[Broxroyal]

Is Hector injured?

If not,

Al Habsi

Hector Ferdinand Cooper Taylor

McCleary Norwood Quinn John

Cox
Rakels

Keown in if Hector not available.
Keown and Hector in if Brian feels Ferdinand can't run about enough for 90 minutes
