Reading - Nottingham Forest

[Strawberry Avenger]

Hope Worrall keeps that armband now that he's got it.

Definitely. 

I'm not as down on Colback as some are, but Grabs & Colback are two players which really don't inspire me as captains.

Wozza's shown what he can do. He should be club captain and no mistake.

Worrall is the perfect candidate to be the club captain. He has grown through the academy from a very early age and supported the team when he wasnt representing it. He knows and understands the clubs ethos and ambitions. He knows the fans expectations. He has lived and walked amongst us. He has cheered alongside us, cried with us no doubt. He knows us. He is a part of us.

He is clearly not afraid to speak his mind, or let other players have a piece of it if they have screwed up!

He wears the armband as a badge of honour, not as a milestone around his neck. He crosses that white line with his chest swelled with pride. The armband swells it even more. There is nobody I would sooner have to lead us back into the Premier League than Joe.

He is like a stick of Skeggy rock. Cut him in half and you've got Nottingham Forest running right through him!

Forest rock.

Worral has been the biggest miss for us this season , he and yates bleed forest . Should of been made captain at start of season . If ben white had not been so good for leeds last season , Wozza would of probably been the best CH in the league he was quality until lockdown and it really disrupted our season . 4-3-3 could be the way forward with a more mobile cm and just 1 cdm or front 3 need to get closer together at times though lolley and Knockaert were too wide last night let the fullbacks provide the width .

I will take a draw but think we can win this one and, if we do, I think we can turn this into a positive December.

Please give Mighten a chance instead of Knockaert

that pass by Knocky to Cafu was probably the best, most perfect and all round classy pass in months, maybe years, it was a glimpse of what could maybe happen on a more regular basis, the composure, experience and temperament to actually keep calm, look up and pick his moment.

Also was  a very rare occassion where a Forest player had made meaningful, incisive and committed run into the box, particularly where Cafu had actually 'bombed on'

I'm hoping that is the turning point, I think and really hoping Chris Hughton and his coaches have been refining how we play, the intensity and efforts were there, but the class I know some of these players are capable of has been very rare.

If Reading are as tired as Watford, Mighten's energy might be effective in tiring them out and Knocky might become more effective introduced later in the game?

I love Mighten, I would like to see him as well, either starting or as along with 4 other subs, if Mighten could move around like he does but show that composure and class and pick that pass .. we will have 1 hell uvva player

Worrall and Grabban have both been big misses.

When is McKenna back?

Love it mate.

Was just thinking back this morning to how Leicester have essentially done what I'd love to see us do, and they've done that by building around a rock of a Forest academy product in Wes Morgan.

I really hope we can do the same with Wozza, and we don't give in to temptation to sell him. The difference he makes is immense, and at 23 he's not even 50% the player he will be when he peaks around 27-30.

If we sell Worrall in January to fund the purchase of yet more mediocre, overpaid overrated and over the hill players who couldn’t care less about the club I will seriously lose my shit on here. You have been warned!

Relax SM!

I have a feeling we'll be unchanged tomorrow.

I have a feeling we'll be unchanged tomorrow.

I'd be happy with that. They probably deserve another chance to show what they can do if they are all up to it fitness wise.

i'd start with some or all of Mighten, Guerrero, Ioannu, Ameobi, Freeman, get these fella's to give plenty of effort and running, introducing 5 subs as and when, and finish the game with the same line up we started with against Watford.

it means these players can give 120% running, not have to worry about the full 90 mins, run the Reading team ragged, soften up for the knockout blows on or around the hour mark

Come on you Reds.
