Mccleary starts. Fuuuuuuuuck. This guy is quality, really pacey and gets good crosses in. Likes to whip it straight and low across the 6 yard box, which I can see being swept in by a blundering Willo.

 

Reading are going for this, very offensive. Set up for a pacey counter-attack which doesn't bode well given Willo and the out-of-sorts Colo are starting as well as two offensive fullbacks.

 

Leigerwood playing though means they're vulnerable to a counter themselves.

 

Still, I'm not seeing past a Reading win with these two teams. Not confident at all.

'Set up for this'? You mean other teams dont just try to get their best 11 available players on the pitch?

 

 

He never starts Kebe, McAnuff and McCleary together. Usually just two wingers. This means Reading are going with two wingers and two attacking midfielders with Leigertwood (who is utter shite at this level) sitting back. Guthrie's been excellent the past few games since getting back in the team, plus he'll want to prove a point so he'll be dangerous too.

 

As long as NUFC can keep the ball and put pressure on Leigertwood then there's a chance we can get a few goals. With Harte playing at full back too the defence is quite weak. Should have Jonas on the right to allow Debuchy to run at Harte and put balls into the box. Harte just can't keep up with pacey players.
