Hope I'm proven wrong, but I never feel confident when I see the XI and don't have a clue what the formation is. Keane as a no.10? Doyle on the wing? Kyerewaa at RWB? Your guess as good as mine.

Pereira
Nyambe O’Connor Dorsett Roberts
Kyerewaa Savage Wing Doyle
Marriott Keane

That is one possibility. Doyle drifts in while Roberts overlaps.

Agree completely.

It's an odd choice.

That'd be my guess. 442 out of possession, something like 3223 when we're attacking

Hmm. My guess is that Keane is a ‘Stringer’ in a 4-2-3-1, coming inside to join Marriott with Roberts filling the width on the attack (3-2-3-2).

Kyerewaa combining beautifully with Roberts and Marriott nearly on the scoresheet again.

Nyambe seems to be pretty narrow.

Could be

......................Pereira
....Nyambe, O'Connor, Dorsett
.Kyerewaa, Wing, Savage, Roberts
...................Keane, Doyle
......................Marriott

But Doyle does look more left wing.

Exeter look way more comfortable vs our press than previously. And the press isn't really getting near them.

I think it has settled into what you have there

Crap goal to concede. Who left that bloke totally unmarked - was it Doyle?

8) So slow with everything we do. This is a hard watch so far.

Really don't like what Leam's doing to this club, football is atrocious to watch, hoof ball, pissing off all the kids, I'm still worried about relegation we certainly not safe yet, yes we picked up good points over Xmas, certainly rode our luck through many of them

Keane looking busy

Crowd shamefully chanting about Warehams dad again. Pathetic

Nothing yet to suggest we'll turn this around. Guess Marriott only needs a half chance.

Too many new players. We're not gelling. Just like starting with a new team as at the beginning of the season. Continuity matters a lot.

There’s about 10 minutes between every Reading attack. Dreadful, dreadful lack of creativity.
