An unchanged side. After what happened on Tuesday. Unbelievable.

Well they certainly have to perform today. Hopefully they'll have more space to play. On the other hand, they're going to have to defend a hell of a lot better.

I think it's smart. Give them the responsibility to put Tuesday right, and make changes if they don't.

Regardless of what you think our chances are today, R.Williams is priced up completely wrong with PP & SkyBet like he has been last few weeks (benefited at Bradford).

10/1 anytime scorer
25/1 first scorer
100/1 brace

Just a wrong price given where he plays.

Hopefully might pay for a few Christmas presents!

Bit surprised of no changes after Tuesday but perhaps it's being put off as a bad day, if it goes well he'll definitely look good but if it goes badly he'll look like an idiot.

Definitely a risk.

No Ritchie (injured?) or Rino (has he already left for Afcon?) on the bench.

So Rino has joined Reading as a sort of paid holiday now that he is off to the AFCON till January.
I would have thought that he would have played today to beef up the midfield.

Famous last words that Bradford don't score many so there is hope -a draw would be a good result.
Hopefully their pitch is better than it used to be.

Manager sticks by horrendous performance, are we that screwed by injuries and squad size he can’t change anything? Will he last the season?

Assuming he still lives down this way it's a bit of a long journey for Ritchie at his age and let's not forget that he has played at least 3 hours of football for us this season so he probably needs a rest.
As a very general rule we don't do very will with signing oldies do we? (am thinking of Keown and Les Ferdinand).

Rino was the spare man in the squad so has travelled. With Fraser back makes sense given he's off on Monday.

Well it's a much more open game. And Bradford are much better than Posh.
These things are not a surprise.

We've fluffed the chances that have come our way so far.

Lots of flexibility in the AMs

Kyerewaa, Williams and Doyle all floating a bit rather than rigidly sticking to LW, RW, AM. Sometimes switching, sometimes doubling up.

Decent move but some poor efforts at finishing

Tbf we were only really bad after he changed the starting line up on Tuesday. Was 1-1 and pretty even up to that point

Even, but mainly because both sides were shit
