Semedo will be on the bench as cover if either dont make it through the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the 27 he sat out we conceded 29. Slightly better record when he plays. Add to that, he has scored two. His bullet header v Wolves was only kept out by a top quality save. His brave header at Villa was about to make it one-nil before the flag. And which away game was it that he dribbled through to set up one of the goals? That's tremendous for a defender in only ten matches. I think he has the potential to be one of the very best defenders around. Tall, athletic, fast and physical. Two good feet, and an eye for a pass. Always looks to play forward too. I agree on some points & certainly don't think he's as bad as some make out. Needs to get in the gym & put some muscle on though as he just seems too lightweight. But to throw in some more stats... we are currently on 7 games in a row where we have conceded. If we concede tonight that is 8 games in a row & our worst run since May 2014. Before Lees was injured we were all thinking we'd break our record for clean sheets this season.

I think the fact we've got 2 weeks off after tonight, will have influenced the decision to risk them both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamK2292 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Risk worth taking if both start. Can't afford to lose tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OxonOwl Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) I felt there were one or more contenders who CC didn't want Reading preparing for. I even considered that Lees and Loovens were not fit and that he didn't want them practicing set pieces to expose a weak cb pairing.

We were odds on for another 17 clean sheets until recently and we haven't looked as good since Lees was out. He had a hand in a few of the goals conceded. Forest, Leeds spring to mind and I think he's got away with a couple of other mad slice/duck moments Wigan, Birmingham, Leeds again. Plus a sending off. Having said that I agree he is good going forward and a good goal threat but I think he's an upgraded version of reda. Will score goals but not necessarily as reliable at the back as others, but young enough to improve. I wonder if Lees is fully fit though. I suspect we will be rushing him back.

G-Reg Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I'd like to see Sasso given a bit of coaching and u23 game experience at right back. Good attributes - pace, good distribution and could get away with a few mistakes (probably less than Hunt makes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
