Interesting to see us up against a different style of football on Saturday

Looking at reading fans views of their team they appear to play a very slow, patient, possession based style of football perhaps not dissimilar to how we started out under Farke this season. many of their fans seem to find it boring and say that they struggle to force the pace or penetrate when teams sit deep against them.

Could make for an absolute stalemate if both sides are sitting deep and knocking the ball about in non threatening areas! Wonder if he will change the tactics at all - obvious game to play Nelson as he's nailed on to score there given the transfer speculation. Feel like its maybe one for Wes as well as they are not a big physical side who will play direct.
