Reading FC fan verdict on approach to Swindon Town clash

A first competitive meeting between the Royals and Robins for two decades, a win would secure progress to the knockout stages after a 9-0 win over Exeter City in the first group stage match.

Managers have a series of rules to abide by in regards to the team they can field, however, the Spaniard still made 11 changes for the trip to Devon for the first tie.

Losing seven out of 11 League One matches and sitting in the relegation zone, confidence is dropping from both the pitch and the stands.

However, with over 10 days until the next league fixture, fatigue should not be a concern.

Take a look at fans' thoughts below.

Might as well play what Sellés thinks his next XI might be as a dry run. Change of system might help too. Can't see it happening but he might surprise us.

Change the team as much as the rules allow - 4 players to be included who meet the criteria then kids the rest

Tomorrows the chance to try something new (formation wise..)with the same players from Saturday. Get some width.. move the ball about an get wide. Ballard is useful in the air.. but also opens the space to get him in behind..

It’s simple for me. Change the formation and field the strongest players who deserve to start in the league. Perfect opportunity to get used to a new system and build confidence. If Selles doesn’t take this perfect opportunity, then he’s made one hell of a stupid decision

Definitely go fairly full strength. No game at the weekend, we’re good to a good start, local rival, need to get in the habit of winning games, need a boost for players and fans

Definitely play a strong first team and get that chemistry and how to play without the stress of the league form
