Colin
Lee must decide whether to change his system again, and include
Jorge Leitao and Paul Merson. If he does, Neil Emblen is the most
likley to make way. Pedro is nearing full fitness, but will not
manage a place on the bench. 
The
Royals are likley to be without Henderson and Goater. New signing
Kitson is unlikley to figure with a hamstring injury. Owusu could
well come in to the starting XI after some good form recently. 
Our key man could well be Darren Wrack. With goals from the forwards
a rarity Wracky has weighed in with his fair share so far this
season. Ghosting in from the flanks unmarked is one of his trademarks,
and more of the same could see him hit double figures this
season.
