Reckon Dolan and Gallagher on for Johnson and Armstrong around 60 mins. Drop Elliot into midfield.

                    Kaminski

JRC.    Lenihan.    Williams.   Douglas. 

     Holtby.     Trybull.   Elliott

     Dolan.    Gallagher.   Brereton.

 

Sort of linked to this I am beginning to wonder if Elliot is more of a midfield player than a winger in our 433? Looks to prefer being deeper to me than trying to beat the full back....

Only Reading with a better goal difference than us

Hopefully we correct that in the next 45 minutes.

Odds narrowing a bit but still a couple of 10/1's to be had and 11/1 on Smarkets.

 Just stuck some money on a 1-1 draw. 

Easy pickings

Does Brereton offer an aeriel threat?

Yes. See his headed goals in pre-seasons gone by. Far more of an aerial threat than Armstrong and Harvey Elliott. Blackpool away this season for example.

id`e take armstrong off after the hour and bang gally in at c.f,if he can`t get his head on some of those crosses he should`nt be here,all we need to do is keep concentrating and play the same way

[Gone to seed]

Rovers are playing well, but I'd worry too about our glass jaw - we need to put some daylight between us and Coventry if we can.

Can you be outstanding if you miss two sitters? A worrying trend for Holtby it seems.

I'd be more worried if goal scoring was his main job I'd say you can be outstanding as a cm even if you miss two chances as long as you do your job outstandingly

To me, Holtby should be a 10 goal / season man with the positions he gets in.

Think he's only netted 2 or 3 times for Rovers whilst close to 20 with Hamburg if my memory's correct.

The ref will have had a lot of stick at HT from Coventry manager and coaches for the pen/red card he might fancy levelling it up in the 2nd half

we need another goal quick.

Frustrating we aren't capitalising - yet!

We should be out of sight.

Douglas offering what we thought he would and Brereton continuing, IMO,  to morph from donkey to footballer of talent. 

Credit to Mowbray for the transformation? I can recall many a message from you saying that he is never going to be a championship footballer!

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Looks like Coventry going to have a go.  Fair play

He's given us nothing since. Doing his best to level it up.

Better to come to the party late than not at all..................but 2 years is a bloody long time to wait!

[Tugay's Right Foot]

Great assist by Ben! 2 up!

[Gone to seed]

[joey_big_nose]

Fabulous from Brereton.

I take it all back.

[Cherry Blue]

Concerned about Douglas on yellow........ GOAL 0 2 

[Miker]

Brereton involved again - absolutely beautiful ball to Armstrong. Get in!

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Boom

Great play by Brereton again.

Emphatic finish this time from Arma
