MATCHWATCH : Derby County (h) sponsored by Nick, Matty & Alex

Derby have managerial problems with Nigel Pearson suspended and Chris Powell deputising. Reading don't have the best of records against Powell organised sides having suffered while he was at Charlton and Huddersfield.

To add our problems Derby are expected to be at full strength with Jason Shackell, Marcus Olsson, and Craig Bryson all expected back after injury.

Now we all know about the 3 ex-Reading players currently on their books. Pearce and Vydra I would hope would get good welcomes as they always gave everything they could even if it didn't always work out. I would also like to think Nick Blackman would at least get a round of applause for his effort. Don't really want them to feel they have anything extra to prove. For the record I would expect only Vydra to start with Pearce and Blackman on the bench.

Their danger men to watch out for on their day; Tom Ince and Darren Bent

Reading have the standard injury problems with Rakels and Meite both out. Williams faces a late fitness test (rated as 50/50) and, if he fails, I would hope Quinn takes over. Blackett will be missing his last game due to suspension.

On the upside Reading should be welcoming back a fresh and fully fit Garath McCleary who I hope will replicate the Barnsley form he showed prior to his outbreak of stupidity.

Our referee today is Tim Robinson of West Sussex on his first visit to the Mad Stad as the main man....



2 Feb 16 > Ipswich Town 2-1 Reading
21 Sep 13 > Derby County 1-3 Reading

Looks like he'll bring just what we want as well :roll: having booked 47 and sent off 2 in 10 games so far this season.

Come on URZ.
70% possession already according to the Beeb.
1 shot by Kermi after a quick break involving Swift. Sounds promising.

It's good to see Wieser and Gravenberch on the bench. Suggests that they are at least squad players.
I had started to think that both had been signings that would get played at all, like Alex Fernandez and Paulo Hurtado last season, which is a real waste of the club's money and a waste of time for the players.

0-0 with one shot on target each.
Reading still pressing but Derby are looking fairly comfortable at the back - Carson has not really been tested.
Yellow card for Bradley Johnson for a foul on Kermi just before the break.

Derby apparently look a shambles, but a shambles with plenty of good individuals. We lack zip and direction.

Why do you keep calling him Berg? You don't call Robin Van Persie "Persie" or Rafael Van Der Vaart "Vaart"

do you?

Vydra scores from a ricochet off a stupid freekick Gunter had no reason to give away.

McCleary off for Harriott

Have opened a can of Carabao that's been in my fridge for about a year before going to a festival thing up the road. Tastes of Red Bull but sweeter. Should turn tomorrow's planned hangover into a full blown and terrifying existential crisis. 10/10.

Not strictly relevant to the match but the goal went in precisely at the moment I cracked the tin open.
