Match notes:

Darius Henderson played his first game of the season.

The starting formation was somewhere between 4-5-1 and 4-3-3, with Bas Savage playing up front, Jamie Cureton wide on the right and Darius Henderson wide on the left.

Savage went off just before half-time with an injury.

Match preview:

The game is to be played at the home side's ground, Waldsportplatz, which roughly means "sports ground in the wood".

Reading have announced the following line-up:
Jamie Ashdown, Graeme Murty, Ricky Newman, Adi Viveash, Adrian Whitbread, Phil Parkinson, Andy Hughes, Joe Gamble, Darius Henderson, Jamie Cureton, Bas Savage

Alan Pardew has stated that this line-up is at least in part to give an extra game for those players that have missed some or all of pre-season. Darius Henderson is named for the first time, whilst it looks as if Ricky Newman will be at left-back. With three forwards in the side, it's either another experimental formation or 4-3-3.
