v Reading (a) - 17/8/22 - Mark 1

[Butty]

Gally I’m guessing not quite 100% from Sunday. Big opportunity for Jack Vale, hopefully he shows more than what he’s shown so far. Having Hedges Dacky and Gally all to bring on isn’t bad, hopefully we don’t regret benching them. 

[JohnD]

I'd never start Dolan.

Now I've said it I hope he gets a hattrick

A little harsh for Gally to be dropped to the bench after scoring on Sunday, I'd say. 

But the team is number one, as JDT would say. 

Maybe Gally's carrying a knock. Yeah you're right JDT has to manage his team and get this thin squad through to to next match. 

Gareth Ainsworth is there with Rovers fans according to Sharpe.

[RV Blue]

Wrong team for me. I hope I’m wrong.

[simongarnerisgod]

gally and particularly hedges both put in a big shift in the heat,both of them probably not 100% tbh,i don`t think vale is ready for this level,he has got a lot to learn judging by his qpr performance,im`e surprised sam burns is behind vale in the pecking order

[Paul Mani]

I don’t think anyone has been dropped. Looks like squad rotation. Hedges and Gallagher rested…also looks to me like we’ve decided to hound these lot to death! Szmodics, Dolan, BBD and Vale will literally run all day!

Hopefully we can get a foothold in the game and steer clear of injuries. 

[Aqualung]

Can only see Dolan and Vale getting a hour anyway. 

[Adam C]

Hedges hasn’t made the cut, looks like he’s been trimmed from the first team.

Can’t keep wheeling the same players out every match when you’re playing 3 in 7 days. This is however why we need more forwards.

[RevidgeBlue]

Thank god - no Gallagher at last.

Not really a fan of Hedges either

Like that side. Hope the manager's faith is repaid.

The same Gally who scored a cracker on Saturday when we beat the much-fancied WBA. And the same Hedges who has been excellent this season for top of the table Rovers?

You're a hard man to please!

[R0verb0y]

And rearrange the following to make a well-known phrase, "Are defenders coming?"

[Sweaty Gussets]

Gareth Ainsworth rumoured to be in the away end tonight, according to R Sharpe. 

Would someone get me a lock of his lovely hair? 💗

[Sweaty Gussets]

I think we'll miss Gally and Hedges. Hopefully a chance for Vale to get on the scoresheet. 

[neophox]

We have Gally, Hedges and Dack to come on if needed...

Yes, someone ask him if he was in for the job that JDT is doing now and what he makes of it all.

 

COYB tonight!

Interesting read about  Robin Friday who played for Reading

Extraordinary story. Taking the bad boy of football to a to a completely lower level.  Although with current stories knocking around maybe not.

Will he start chanting 'We want Jon Dahl out, say we want John Dahl out' if we go behind, thereby heaping pressure on JDT and hoping to start a campaign to get himself instated as head honcho at Ewood? The Machiavellian bastard!

Strange comment, based on how they've both started this season - Hedges in particular.

[WacoRover]

Hedges has a couple of assists (actually, three). 
I’m willing to let Tomasson choose who is best though 😉

very surprised that he not started Hedges. He has been very good under JDT 

I thought Hedges was off the pace against WBA.  Gally was down a few times in the last 20. Probably getting a rest. JRC an obvious inclusion after Buckley having to play right back at the weekend
