Reading vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[GT49er]

Cannot understand people saying switch formation etc. WE ARE TOP of the league and we have yet to be beaten in our 442. Let them worry about us.

Amazing the number of people on here trying to suggest line ups that are anything but 442!

4-3-3 it is then!

Great news about Stephens.

Stephens fit in midfield trio with Kayal and Crofts. Rosenior at left-back. Matching up Reading with a 4-3-3, Baldock + Murphy wide

Naylor reckons King Kayal, Stephens and Crofts in midfield with Baldock Murphy and Hemed up front. 433 but could also be 442. Rosenior at left back.

Find it bizarre that we are playing 4-3-3 with Baldock on the wing. We have THREE fit wingers (Murphy, March and Elvis). Why play a striker out of position?

Bit harsh?

Pretty standard for WCP. He'll start talking about the charity shield soon.

Excellent news about Stephens, lets just hope he hasn't been rushed back too early, sssssssseagulls

#BHAFC v Reading: Stockdale, Bruno, Huenemeier, Dunk, Rosenior; Kayal, Stephens, Crofts; Murphy, Hemed, Baldock. #RFCvBHA

Baldock was playing wide left pretty well last season before he got injured.

Strewth. At last, conclusive proof that CH reads NSC!

I was doubtful this morning...but now I'm a happy bunny, and just about to lump on us @ 12/5.

Two up front with Murphy switching wings from time to time.

True, but he has been playing well up front with Hemed in his natural position. I just find it strange we are deviating from the formation that has seen us go on an unbeaten run and help us to the get to the top of the table. We also have two natural wingers on the bench so playing a striker out of position doesn't sit well with me.

think thats the way it might be

4,000 travelling fans. Good starting line-up. Should be a great match and hopefully at least a point for the Albion.
