Re: Reading v Clarets Match Thread
Very FA Cup feel to this team but happy to see starts for Twine, Benson and Foster, hopefully get some good minutes out of Churlinov later.
Re: Reading v Clarets Match Thread
Interesting lineup
Re: Reading v Clarets Match Thread
All them changes and Obefemi still can’t get a game.
Re: Reading v Clarets Match Thread
Im thinking attacking wise it’ll be

Benson Twine JBG Tella

Re: Reading v Clarets Match Thread
Too many changes.
Re: Reading v Clarets Match Thread
This is going to be interesting
Re: Reading v Clarets Match Thread
Bit surprised by that really.
Re: Reading v Clarets Match Thread
Bring Muric on up front 2nd half?
Re: Reading v Clarets Match Thread
Time for Foster to show why we signed him

Re: Reading v Clarets Match Thread
I'd have preferred giving a game to each of those players over the next 6, not all at once, but we'll see how it pans out.
Very surprising that Obafemi isn't at least on the bench given all those changes.

Re: Reading v Clarets Match Thread
The squad needs using, but too many changes in one swoop could be costly. It didn't work at Blackpool.
I'll be disappointed if it costs us our unbeaten run, or the chance of the record, but VK has to be backed, he's earned it.

No backup centre half on the bench. Is Ekdal injured ?

Re: Reading v Clarets Match Thread
We've certainly enough options on the bench if it needs changing around.

Re: Reading v Clarets Match Thread
Crikey lads, we've got a very heavy schedule coming up and the players missing might well be carrying knocks

Re: Reading v Clarets Match Thread
Maatsen, THB, Ekdal, Obafemi not in squad, very strange. Grand National trip?
Re: Reading v Clarets Match Thread
Could always bring Vitinho on and shift Taylor to the middle, if push came to shove.expoultryboy wrote: ↑Sat Apr 15, 2023 2:09 pmNo backup centre half on the bench. Is Ekdal injured ?

Re: Reading v Clarets Match Thread
Afternoon all, nice day up here, starting to get a bit milder, went for a 3-1 win on the predictor which might be a bit optimistic given the lineup, still think we'll win but maybe 2-1 is more realistic.COYC

Re: Reading v Clarets Match Thread
Not the line-up I or many others would have expected, however I suppose the fringe players have to be given time eventually.
Could be juggling the squad with Rotherham in mind as well.
Good to see Zaroury back even if it is on the bench.

Missed that DC . It's still a strong side and I'm hoping Twine and Foster have good games today .

Re: Reading v Clarets Match Thread
That is a lot of changes. The one that particularly surprises me is Muric missing, but I suppose worth giving BPF more exposure to how we play makes sense. The same is true of Taylor who I don't think looks comfortable doing what VK asks of a full back - but again, in fairness hes had relatively little football in that position to show what he can do.
Maatsen has played an awful lot football recently- at a guess more minutes than anyone bar Cullen in the last month or so - and in a position that asks an awful lot physically.

Re: Reading v Clarets Match Thread
You have to have played in a certain number of games to qualify for a winners medal. Maybe that's a part of the reason for such changes.

Re: Reading v Clarets Match Thread
It's a squad game but it's sink or swim for a few plus they will want a winners medal but seriously I hope our unbeaten run doesn't end today with so many changes.
Re: Reading v Clarets Match Thread
VK did allude to changes to ensure other squad players get a chance so why not today? Hopefully incoming players can pick up the baton quickly
Re: Reading v Clarets Match Thread
I don't think anyone is against changes to give others more game time and try them out, it’s more the number of changes in one go.
Hopefully misplaced concern by a few of us.

Let’s hope the changes don’t affect our tempo too much.
Excited to see Twine and Guddy working between the lines.
