rynny Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Rams vs Wolves. Saturday 28th July 2018 3pm kick off. Last game of pre season, last dress rehearsal. How close to the Reading team will this be? Most players to get a full 90? Will there be more there than against Southampton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthram Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I suspect there'll be quite a few from Wolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Wolves apparently took a fair few to Stoke so there should be some sort of away following this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry Ram Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Will be interesting to see if Frank can counter the high wingbacks. Rowett was a rabbit in the headlights againt these last year. Only a friendly mind, so can't be arsed to travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazloW Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I assume that he would start with something very close to his starting 11 (subject to more signings and injuries) but will probably still try a couple of alternative ‘plans’ to give people a chance to stake a claim. Likely to be a far more difficult game than Southampton but that’s no bad thing. Who gets left out of the squad will be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pottig Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 This is basically an international friendly for Portugal isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesertRam Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Not sure what the best outcome would be, a hard fought win/draw or a wake up 0-4 hammering! Hopefully its a 2-0 win, which they owe us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irobinson Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 hate Wolves - worst game at home last year - fans were t@ats couldn't go for a quiet beer at me home pub without some t@at annoying me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturn5 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Very disappointed when this was announced as our "showcase" final friendly, but after seeing all but one (Coventry) games I am actually looking forward to it now Settle for a scoring draw with no injuries and hopefully no big mistakes leading to players being slaughtered before we have even started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Interesting test. High press versus a drop deep with high wing back formation. Much depends on the effectiveness of our press. Will be very interesting to see how we try to recover if the first press is bypassed. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Get fitter, no injuries and it's job done. Decent win and we travel to Reading buzzing. Lose and we're brought down to Earth and have stuff to work on. Will Vyds have left, in which case will Waghorn have arrived? Sweet Marriott to start, or Nuge or even La Maison? And Flo-Jo benched again? Despite Paul Clement doubtless gracing us with his presence, I reckon we'll start with the expected Reading lineup: Carson Wisdom Keogh Davies Lowe Ledley Bryson Mount Wilson Marriott Lawrence If Waghorn comes for a big fee, where does he fit into the team?

I would also go with that starting 11, looks very good on paper, but football is played on grass, so time will tell I suppose, subs will be Roos, Pearce, Huddlestone, Johnson, Flo, Nugent and Bennett.

I wondered about subs, but thought perhaps there'll still be eleven as it's preseason. After a good preseason it will be disappointing if Thomas doesn't get a look-in, but if we're down to 7 subs I suspect you've picked them. Then if Waghorn arrives is it Nugent or Bennett who makes way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I'd say in this 4 3 3 he'd fit really well. It suits a big lad up front in the middle and Waghorn's built like a brick shithouse. So the question could possibly be where does it leave Marriott?
