Same team as last Saturday please

 

[Beezy]

Can anyone advise on parking at Reading FC? Coming with my 8 year old son and we need to get away sharpish after the game.

Unless you're taking the team with you, best look on the Matchday Travel thread:
https://griffinpark.org/forums/showthread.php?t=128739
There's plenty of advice on there but you need to read through the ticket dialogue.

If you park in the car parks scattered around ground there is a big chance you will be stuck after the game if you stay to final whistle

 

[Griffingreen]

Looking at the pre-Reading game training video up on the main site, there's only 10 players training, no Woods, Judge, Watkins or Bentley, it's gonna be bare bones on Saturday!

Thanks for this. Any advice on where is good to park for a quick getaway after?

i really wouldnt like to say , park and ride might be your best bet . or park south off juntion11 , it will be good walk though


kybees lane might be worth a try , but youll have to get there early , i pass this bridge on my way to brentford , if reading are at home it packed with cars , non reading games theres no cars , so i presume this is free parking. its your choice

What’s happened to Sawyers?

 

[Bixer]

Same team as last Saturday please

Yep. If it ain't broke, don't fix it etc.

 

[RoyBee]

Yep, same as Saturday please

 

[Delbee]

Only change from Bolton, Canos to start Watkins on the bench. Then I can’t make my mind up between Macleod or Judge on the bench

 

[Owlsmoor_Bee]

What’s happened to Sawyers?

And Flo !!

 

[Ghost]

What’s happened to Sawyers?

He's still stepping up

Dave, with greatest respect, you seem to have selected a team without our best player this season - Sawyers - and also selected a not match fit Josh Clarke in a position which he hasn't played all season, ahead of Flo and Watkins who have played that position with a lot of success.

Apart from that I like it.....

Ignore the high viz pointers in the car park just past the ground on the left, and park in the corner near the exit.

 

[beebopalula]

Get Marcondes on the pitch up top please. No other changes.

 

[Hungerford Bee]

I thought I read that Mepham was doubtful after that Bolton thug tripped him last weekend?

 

[NorthamptonBee]

Not far from last week's team for me but I would toy with the idea of moving Nico back to the middle for Kamo and Clarke back in at RB. It always looks like a big pitch there and Nico's energy in the middle and Clarke up and down the wing might be nice to haves. Possibly Canos in for Watkins, he's no doubt gagging for a start and Watkins is not quite at his best IMO, that said, he's still bloody good.

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

Is Mepham fit after that tackle?

 

[malagakid]

Would be foolish to make changes to a winning team, especially against Reading but desperate to see Marcondes start upfront.

 

[Mr Cynical]

I think for the minute the only change I'd make would be Canos for Watkins, he's not quite been at his best last few games and Canos must be itching for a start. Also a happy hunting ground for him in the past. Would love to see Marcondes but can't see where we'd fit him in at the moment? Could we go mad and go for a Woods, Marcondes, Sawyers midfield?? Probably not.... I suspect Judge may well play for the B team on Sunday and hopefully get a full 90 under his belt..

Think I’d go for that team and bench as well. Watkins to be used off the bench. Like to see McLeod get some minutes as well

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Fond memories of an exceptional performance by McEachran last year. Maybe similar this time? Big pitch to work with.

.............desperate???...............really???????.............

 

[Mr Cynical]

Alan Judge?

Think they're just being ultra careful with him. He played 70 mins of the last B team game , suspect he'll have another run out for them on Sunday and we're probably aiming to get a couple of 90mins out of him before competing for first team places. No real rush at the mo with the midfield options we have...

Yes after watching all those goals on youtube for last 6 months, can’t wait to see him.

Agree and against a team with low confidence.

I think hes been unlucky to lose his spot for Wolves and Bolton.

 

[Mr Cynical]

Would be nice. Think Smith has always wanted to rotate his midfield options depending on the oppo and he now has the tools to do just that. Mokotjo starting last week was a bit of a surprise especially further forward so maybe he has another waiting for us on sat?

Bench was the tough one. Quality in McEachran, McLeod and Judge who are fit but don't make squad.

Josh Mac has to be at least on the bench and may well even start if Nico stays at right back and Josh replaces Kamo in central midfield . I doubt either Clarke or Dalsgaard are match for to start and the latter probably not fit enough for the bench

 

[unBEEliveable]

Late notice I know but I have two spare tickets for today an OAP (over 65) and kids (17 and under) - free to a fellow bee PM me if interested!

 

[whyteleafebee76]

What hits home with the team/benches listed on this thread is that every squad mention involves leaving 2 or 3 quality players out of the squad completely. Some tough decisions for Deano but I am sure he would rather that than scratching around for players.
