Paynter on the bench but not Painter.

Quite like the look of that side - well balanced if everyone plays to their best - maybe a little lightweight in midfield but that is our eternal problem this season. Solid and aggressive in defence if we can keep everyone on the pitch for 90 minutes and very pacy up front.

Billy BarnDoor preferred over George Barker and Shamir Goodwin

Can' decide whether I'm surprised or not that Painter isn't in the squad but Grant Hall is!?!

The starting line-up looks good, guessing it's a 4-2-3-1 with Sparrow sitting with Bridcutt, Harley in the middle and Buckley and Kaz either side!

Reading 4th in current form tables (last six matches) and Brighton 12th. Playing away. While it shows a lack of ambition I would be very satisfied with a point this afternoon. Would also be chuffed to finish 90 minutes with 11 on the pitch.

I'd guess it is 4-3-3 but I am not sure. Passing out to the flanks with an outlet through Sparrow if Reading press our full backs.

looks like we are playing 4-5-1 with Spaz, Bridders, and Harley in the middle, two wingers....I like it! Also, very happy for Grant Hall! Maybe saving Painter and making sure he is 100%

As good a line up as I could have hoped for and also think it will be 4-2-3-1 .. lot of confidence in Buckley and very confident he will make a real impression.

Well done to all those attending ... give 'em hell!

Mouth watering line up - Gus is going for it - Very happy with that...

Looks very adventurous - so happy as well; and great to see Buckley start.
