Feel like I'm being blind but I swear I haven't seen anything.
With what we have available I feel a 3-5-2 is rather inevitable, and I doubt Souttar or Surridge are ready to start.
I'm expecting
Fletcher - Brown
Doughty - Mario - Powell - Smith Allen
Fox - Chester - Wilmot
Bursik

Much prefer Davies to Bursik but seems Bursik no1 these days. Good side you picked there, hope we go with that Expect Surridge to be on the bench. Don't know why but not convinced by Bursik

Don't know why but not convinced by Bursik How old is Bursik? 20? You aren't supposed to be convinced by him yet. You should, however, be embracing his potential. He rightly starts as no1 for me. Its hos spot to lose, which as a young keeper, he will do at some point.

Bursik
Wilmot Batth Fox
Smith Powell Allen Vrancic Doughty
Fletcher Brown
Subs: Davies, Chester, Souttar, Tymon, Thompson, Clucas, Surridge
From pre-season line-ups, this looks the most likely, with Souttar and Surridge only just getting up to speed.

just been reading that reading havnt got a first team left back they have been using centre back there as they cant sign anyone Well we managed (or not...) for 2+ years, and I am still not sure if that problem is solved. Now we haven't got a (decent) RB...

Interesting times ahead.
Saturday most likely this
....................Bursik..................... ........Wilmot....Souttar.....Fox........... Smith...............Allen...............Doughty ............Powell........Vrancic.............. .............Fletcher....Surridge (most likely will go Brown)..............
Subs: Davies, Baath, Chester, Clucas, Thompson, Brown/Surridge, Tymon
so 3 more in ? Allens a shoe in in midfield, Delap? Brady and ANO (RWB)?
So potentially. 5-3-2 when everyone fit
........................Bursik..................... ........Wilmot....Souttar.....Fox........... New...............Allen...............Brady ............Powell........Vrancic.............. .............Campbell....Delap/Surridge..............
Subs: Davies, Baath, Chester, Clucas, Thompson, Brown, Fletcher, Smith, Doughty, Surridge/Delap, Tymon
would still be weak at left back and center DM but could go 4-3-3
......................Bursik..................... Smith........Wilmot....Souttar.....Fox........... .......................Allen.............. ............Powell........Vrancic.............. .............Campbell...Surridge.. Delap
Subs - New rwb, Brady, Fletch, Baath, Chester, Tymon, Brown, Clucas, Doughty
I would fancy any of those sides to be there or there abouts.

Why can't they sign anyone? They worry me a little as I think they have some brilliant midfielders. do they have a transfer embargo? Yes they do, I think the NTT20 podcast had them down for relegation. They haven't replaced a single player & they lost Michael Olise.

You should, however, be embracing his potential. He rightly starts as no1 for me. Its hos spot to lose, which as a young keeper, he will do at some point. As a starter referring to. Sure he has potential but so have many players previously. Would prefer the experience of Davies to start as for me our best keeper and believe in playing your best team. Bursik beaten a bit too easy a couple of times low down at his post for shots he should have saved . Harsh maybe but Davies should start .

Surridge won’t start. Swap in Fletcher for him and Chester for Souttar and I think you have the right team.
MON will want to play the players he’s been working with in pre-season.

No way Chester will start, MON basically said he's not fit yet in the pre-match interview. Batth has to start, he's more or less our best chance of a goal!

Conner wait 3-1 (fletcher 19, Brown 41,Surrige 82)

Looks like Reading could be a bit thin on the ground. Ejaria and Meite their first choice wingers are injured and Joao has only played 45 mins in pre-season. Rinomhota has also missed the entire pre-season but could be involved tomorrow.

Danny Batth deserves to keep his place. I have read the friendly reports and saw the Villa game and he has concentrated on defending and chipped in with a goal or two. Looks like he knows he has a battle to earn a shirt and that can only be good. Bursik in goal, in fairness Davies has done nowt wrong, not had alot of minutes pre season though. Bursik has a touch of the Pickfords for me, prone to a rush of blood but the potential is there, and we are building so lets build with him. Surridge will be first choice pretty quickly but I think he will go with Brown tomorrow. Not going to try and guess wether Fox will start or Souttar, looking forward to it though, its been a long time coming.

Souttar won’t start judging by O’Neill’s comments and the same applies to Doughty

I think he will go with
Bursik
Wilmot Batth Fox
Smith Allen Vrancic Powell Tymon
Fletcher Brown
