MATCHWATCH : Rotherham United (h) sponsored by a James Harper debut

[Notts Royal]

Looks like Velcro has changed it to pull Semedo a touch deeper and to the right, Rino forward and left and Laurent sitting in front of the defence.

I think this is a good move. Rotherham have had quite a lot of freedom to play around their half and find space there to attack. Hopeflly help us push forward too.

The question is why was Semedo started as an attacking midfielder in the 1st place when he’s clearly a defensive midfielder? Understand when he’s brought McIntyre and a defensive player on to retain a lead, but it seems a defensive move to start a game at home to Rotherham with.

Good that he’s making a positive change early on in the game though

Hate to sound all Bowen but we are not winning a single second ball here.

[CountryRoyal]

THIS IS SHIT...... AGAIN.

For a hoofball team, this blowy weather isn't helping us.

Only positive I can say about Reading is they've repelled the Rotherham attacks well.

That's 3 times now I've seen Esteves holding up his hands as if to ask what he's supposed to be doing.

Which is encouraging.

You're all old women.

Only positive I can say about Reading is they've repelled the Rotherham attacks well.

Argument to be made they shouldn’t be allowed to have so many attacks.

Where the option of swift would be useful - someone to link the defence and forward players

It’s been awful so far tbh
