Friendly vs Portsmouth

[AlexY25]

Ivar Ingimarsson plays 45 minutes in friendly win over Pompey. Rasiak and O'Dea both score in 2-0 victory. Both goals coming from Howard corners.

Sounds like the new guys got a decent run out.....

[Geekins]

Yes we beat those inbred Chavs!

[It Is What It Is]

Glad to hear they are all settling in well, nothing like a friendly win over a premiership team to get their confidence flowing

[SteveRoyal]

The winning mentality is coming back!

[Royalee]

Nice and positive.

Interesting team - Tabb left back, Mooney midfield

Club captain Ivar Ingimarsson made a successful return to action on Friday afternoon when he lined up in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Portsmouth at Hogwood Park.

The Icelander played the first half on his first appearance since January, and skippered the side to a 2-0 victory.

Grzegorz Rasiak and Darren O'Dea were our scorers, while another new signing Brian Howard started his first match in a hooped shirt and both our goals came from his corners.

Reading were comfortable winners and it was a good workout for our team during this international break, with three new signings getting valuable time on the pitch.

Reading: Hamer; Kelly, Tabb, Ingimarsson (c) (Mills HT), O'Dea; Davies, Howard (Sigurdsson 72), Mooney; Antonio (Bryant 69), Henry, Rasiak
Subs: Locke, Cummings, Kebe, Robson-Kanu

OS says it was a "young" Pompey side but no team shown on the match report - prob reserves and youth players...

Promising indeed. We need someone with a good delivery from set-pieces. Sigurdsson's have looked the business too.

Excellent! (in a Monty Burns' style voice).

Good to see Kelly getting a run out. I would have put my house on Bryant to have scored.

[Ian Royal]

Nice to see Ivar getting some minutes in, thought he was way off still! Good to see some of the newer players getting pitch time too.

Won't treat this as meaningful though.

[Royalwaster]

Surprised Cummings didn't play really ....

LOL at thinking Mooney played in midfield just from his position in the team line up.

[shaka's shorts]

Who else did then - if it was 433? Not Rasiak I suggest!

[FORSTERS_RIGHT_FOOT]

Davies, Howard, Antonio, Henry

Mooney, Rasiak.

4-4-fucking-2

[ZacNaloen]

Davies, Howard, Antonio, Henry

Mooney, Rasiak.

4-4-oxf*rd-2

Swap Antonio and Davies round.
