We should try Robinson and Turienzo up front on Saturday and push Leon out to the left and replace Oatway and Carpenter with with Nicolas and Hammond.
Scotty M said:exactly - the midfield has NO creativity. with leon wide left playing in those crosses that look so dangerous we might have a little bit of creativity. and then coupled with the big argie up top to challenge in the air, we may actually look like having an end product rather than just a lot of the ball
Lets stick jake on the left side and knight on the right side.Then kazam and turienzo up front,thats super pace alroundnutter said:I must be frank, I didn't see any pre-season games this year but on the showing last night I don't get all the hype of CKR. Now I know he is young if thats an excuse these days in football..(rooney) but I thought he didn't play very well and that he and Knight didn't work too well as Knight was always on the flanks.Turienzo looked a better bet I have to say. For one I thought the best player yesterday was Robinson. He had pace and ran at players. Very exciting! I feel we some width as a team. It looks a little one dimensional to be honest. All through the middle. Bring on Jarrett and Robinson on the flanks and we might scare some teams.
sydney said:said on bbc website the possession ratio was 70%-30% in favour of reading, if that is true that is a bit worrying....
Even the reading evening post said we dominated most of the first half and certainly we was in total control 15 mins into the 2nd half,you sure its not the wrong way roundScotty M said:really?! that is quite strange, as i am certain we had a lot more of the ball than that. especially in the second half when we were 1-0 down. but then again i suppose dodd did keep giving it away

This allows Hammond to play his best game in central midfield.
So we need someone to partner Kazim-Richards up front.

Not if he's on the bench, it doesn'tDÃnN¥ §ëÃGuLL© said:Problem with playing Leon left wing is it's gonna leave Kerry Mayo exposed a bit which we don't really want
jolson said:He did play mainly at right back. I saw him play three or four games at left back while Kerry was out injured, and he aquitted himself well I thought. (Being left footed helped!)
Also, him being able to play either side would've been useful, as I don't much fancy Paul Reid or El Abd at right back if Dodd gets injured. With such a small squad we need a few utility players!
