Parsnip Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Monday 5th April 15.00 At theirs. Free hit this one is (according to @Steve How Hard?). Good job too because we've probably got no fit strikers. Reading have gone right off the boil so a good win for the Rams will be a hammer blow to their playoff hopes.

Millenniumram Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Normally wouldn’t advocate anything other than fairly minor changes after a win like that, but the injuries we picked up will somewhat force our hand a bit. So I’d actually use the necessity of a formation change to return us to a 3 at the back, which should hopefully give us a bit more of a solid base against an extremely good Reading side that we struggled to cope with at the start of the season: Marshall Wisdom Mengi Clarke Byrne Bird Shinnie Buchanan Sibley Lawrence Kazim-Richards Harsh on Forsyth who had a good game today, but he simply can’t play in a 3 at the back system, so Buchanan has come in in his place. Mengi replaces the injured Gregory to facilitate the change in formation. And with Waghorn injured as well, we’ve got no choice but to bring Kazim-Richards back into the side, even though I’m not convinced he’s fully recovered yet - he’s all we’ve got left!

Would agree with that starting XI & formation to make us more solid. Really important if we play 3 at the back to have Bird & Shinnie in front of them (not Knight & Shinnie) to get some quality into Sibley, Lawrence & Kazim otherwise they'll get isolated like at Stoke. I'd replace Forsyth with Buchanan as much because of a quick turnaround of games as Buchanan being a more ambitious wing back. Reading haven't picked up many points recently & are hanging on to 6th. They're likely to be anxious & very keen to score early. If we can frustrate them & carry some genuine menace on the counter, there's a result here for us.

oomarkwright Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 I'll go for 1-1, be happy with a point from the next two. Caz up front with support from Tom and Sibbo. Yeh buch for foz sounds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orphanram Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 I get the 3 at the back suggestion but I also think that for the last 7 games it might be better to train in one system for consistency and stick with that until we’re safe. Personally I’d be more tempted to play a 4-2-3-1 sticking with the back 4. Marshall Byrne. Wiz. Clarke. Foz Bird Shinnie Jozwiak.

Malty Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 I’d be surprised if joz doesn’t start after playing so well for Poland this last couple of weeks. I can see joz, Lawrence and sibley playing around kazim. That could work very well. We might just sneak another good result against a top six team.

Woodley Ram Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 I think the key to this one is the midfield battle, win that and then set the likes of Lawrence, Sibley and Joz away. If we lose it then we have a lot of defending to do and Joao just loves playing against the rams. I am surprised at the number of decent midfield players in the Championship and that includes Reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
