Last night, the danger with that was that we know we try intricate stuff around the box,

which often breaks down and Reading could simply launch it at Andy Carroll to hold up and lay off as those two screamed down on the counter.

Last night I was watching it thinking how refreshing it was to have our fullbacks not as gung ho for a change, which allowed our forward players a bit more space around the area.
