0-4 to City. We are going up as champions this season.

I would keep Watters up front but maybe sub him for Ete at HT
I doubt Ralls will be 1st choice this season, unless as you say he gets sharper, but probably brought on for purely defending 'skills'. Nelson ?Well he can defend for sure, but shows how our squad is perhaps lacking in defensive cover.
Re: READING v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
I'm expecting just the enforced change with Nelson most likely to come in although both he and Kipre favour the left centre back position. It will be interesting to see if that means McGuinness or Denham whether on the bench or starting.

I think Watters will start and play well today, Etete will hopefully get 20 mins?

We had the worst injury record of all 92 clubs over the past season and here we go again.
We had loads of injuries with Warnock, I remember last year thinking how few injuries we had in comparison to previous seasons. It must be something to do with the training or fitness levels?
We don't really have many injuries now, so hopefully Morison seems to be doing things right.

You were putting forward a suggestion that Ralls might start. Ralls didn't start against Norwich, therefore, for him to be be in the starting eleven would require one of the midfield players, who did start in our first match, dropping to the bench.
So, who do you think would be the unfortunate midfielder to have to make way for Ralls? (I feel I'm repeating myself here :hehe:)
Re: READING v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Ralls looked way off the pace when he came on last week when you'd have thought fresh legs time to shine.
Very much doubt he'll start unless somebody has picked up an injury.
Etete off the bench would seem a good ploy IMHO.
If things aren't going our way and a different approach needed, I'm sure he would relish the chance to shine.
Similarly if we are winning, give him some minutes.
McGuinness seems the best option.

It was just an observation….I hardly know all our players names yet….never mind if they’re any good or not ! I’ll leave it to the manager, he sees them every day :-)
