I guess I'll get it started with the injury report. (http://www.readingfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/NewsDetail/0,,10306~941650,00.html) Looks like Murts will be ok for this week. Seol is still out with his toe injury. Good news on Convey, looks like the operation took well and he could be training soon. Kits is still recovering from his appendix operation, will that guy ever get a break? And Aaron Brown is back in training.
Here goes our first of two all american GK matches in a row. Blackburn are 1-2-2 on the road this year in the Premiership and will be comming off what looks to be a tough mid week UEFA Cup match against Nancy. Hopefully a likely second consecutive start for Lita will get his motor started, we can't count Doyal for all our goals.

Lita has to be desparate to do well. If he can just get one goal, I think he'll be able to relax and start finding the net instinctively like last season.

It is being shown tape delayed on FSC @ 14:15 EST. Don't forget to block off the bottom 2 inches of the screen to block the ticker. FSC has, in the past, shown the results of the tape delayed game that they are showing while they are showing it.

looks like Murty will be fit enough to play, whereas for Seol, it stills hangs on the balance.......guess toenails dont grow on trees or within a week.

if Seol is out on injury, hope Lita improves so that he can really get more regular games and be out their upfront adding firepower and options....so far.......Doyle seems a bit tired as well, he needs to be rested once in a while.
Cant wait to see Kitson fit and on the pitch, and see if hes gonna prove to be a success in the Premiership.
Option 1: Kitson & Doyle
Option 2: Seol & Doyle
Option 3: Kitson & Lita
Option 4: Seol & Lita
pretty nice to have those options available. Although a new signing may replace Lita's name on the above options.

Anyone think Convey could be back by next week? Last I read surgery was a success and he would be training soon. any info would help.

BBC is still just saying that he is out, but they think that Murts AND Seol will be back.

Sky is expecting the same.

The Reading site is saying that Convey and Kitson are "a few weeks away from returning". But they also say that Seol will be back as well.
http://www.readingfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/NewsDetail/0,,10306~943459,00.html
So that begs the question, Will Coppell stick with Lita and maybe sub in Seol later or will Seol start? My guess is the former.

Best bet is to start Lita and let Soel come in as a sub. oh and thanks for the links

On the Official Site, Coppell was saying he's still 2-3 weeks away, but may be ready towards the end of the Christmas period. Coppell also talks about upcoming FA Cup fixtures, so Convey could easily have to prove himself in cup games before unseating Hunt.

yes i think thats not a bad idea. Lita had several cameo appearances recently and he stated the Watford game when Seol was off injured. So if he starts against Blackburn that will be a 2nd start in a row, which will be giving him a little run to get into goal scoring form. Besides by all reports Seol's injury still hurting.
Good to hear Murty had a few days trainning. Hoping to see Convey on for the busy Christmas schedule, to bolster the side a bit. Kitson wont probably be seen till next year, sometime in mid January.

Some nice play from McCarthy in the box, then a shot from just outside the box goes well wide.
