Glad Tommy Elphick is on the bench, he looks like a great prospect to me.

Interesting to see how Gary will get on, clearly up for it.

Dave Merrington giving good opinions and descriptions on SCR. Not light hearted stuff though.

Dave Merrington very appreciative of the Albion style in breakaways. Albion chant heard on the radio.

Where does Tommy play?

Centre half. He reminds me of Michael Dawson. Tall, strong, athletic and good on the ball.

Dave Merrington says that the extra man is counting at the back for Brighton. Stifling Reading with our tactics, but we knew that anyway.

Dave Merrington scathing about the Albion defence leading to the goal, against the run of play.

Thinking like a Manager rather than a pundit?

Dave Merrington says 45% of chances comes from set pieces.

Does anyone know how the three at the back are organised. I would have thought it would be El-Abd-G.Elphick-Butters but I'm not sure.

Dave Merrington now says Leon Knight has not got enough support up the front. That's the trouble with five at the back.

Full backs are Reid and Hart because they are being skinned regularly especially Reid on the left by Little.

The wingers have to be damn good to get the ball to Leon and defend.

It sounds like Gary Hart is effectively out of the game. This is the wing-back system. If Reading attack down their right our right back is redundant. I would take a defender off at half-time and go back to four at the back.

I don't think Leon can play the lone striker role, Zamora could do it but nobody since.
