Match Thread Reading away Saturday 3rd October

It doesn't make a difference to us but I suspect they are bending the truth to make it look like they care about the fans and believe in the squad when I don't think they had a choice.

I could be mistaken but I don't think Charlie Savage qualifies for the criteria as he's only started 3 games this season plus 1 sub appearance before the 75th minute out of 10 games with 1 coming in the last 5 so that's not 50% of 4 of the last 5.

From the 3 missing only Rinomhota is a miss for them, Savage has mainly been a late sub and Dorsett has failed to make the last 3 league squads. I suspect they will be thinking it's a great chance to play us when we have up to 3 key players missing in defense

 

Baldwin had cramp, not an injury (according to GA).

 

Didn’t Lincoln get the league game a Valley Parade called off last season with 3 players, one of them having only played an EFL trophy tie and another just a regular substitute?
Reading will be aware we will just have our reserve keeper available and missing our first choice left wing back , with our right wing back potentially injured.

 

the rules have changed this season around eligibility
