    readings last match they had no centre backs fit at all.
    they played midfielders all over the pitch and came away with the win.
    as much as I'd like us to implement a better style of football, we aren't going to out pass a team full of midfielders.
    I think we should stick to the aerial bombardment for this one

    Well we have had 5 conceded then 4 so there is improvement so I will say we will lose 3-1 Flint header

    I'm not sure we'd be allowed to pick that lineup

    Weather looks bad for Saturday. Heavy rain. Match could be postponed if our stewards can't make it through the floods.

    If we play our usual shite but scrape a 1-0 win does that mean the cracks are sufficiently papered over and McCarthy stays?

    That's the trouble and that was what happened at Forest.
    I know we never want our team to lose and its very emotive, but for long term gain is it better to lose again against reading then regroup for the rest of the season. Or win against reading then lose the next 4 again.

    We have had snowgate, this could be our watergate.

    Nicely set up there! I was thinking floodgate. Watergate is better.

    My team:

    Smithies
    NG (as a right back) McGuiness Flint Bagan (as a left back)
    Ralls (if fit) Pack Sang Giles
    Moore Harris

    Subs: Phillips Colwil Bowen Collins Zimba Brown Denham

    Leave out Morrison and Vaulks who are both badly out of form

    We could loan them a couple of ours to get them off the wage bill!

    We have not beaten Reading since 2015.

    No win in the last 11 meetings

    We can't take teams with point deductions as bankers to go down. In three games time they could be one point behind us.

    With a heavy defeat and other results going against us, we could replace Peterborough at 22nd on the weekend.

    Our centre back position has improved slightly. For our game v Boro we were down to our 8th choice CB a 17 year old who hasn’t been in our Academy very long on the bench with our right back Andy Yiadom and midfielder Josh Laurent at CB. With three of our forwards out in Joao, Meite and Azeez we are being hammered with injuries.

    We started with the same CB pairing last night but Scott Dann came off the bench to play the latter stages. He has to start on Saturday.
    Having said all that our first choice CB’s have been dreadful this season and we have improved defensively since their injuries. We have conceded a lot (19) but scored a healthy 16 goals.

    I thought we had turned the corner with a really gutsy win v Boro but last night was disappointing against a solid Derby side who don’t score or concede many. I would take a draw on Saturday.

    Our strength is definitely in midfield. Swift, Ejaria and Halilovic have been playing well, Dele- Bashiru has also looked decent and Danny Drinkwater will play in front of the back four.
    We will probably start with Hoilett as our lone striker as Paunovic doesn’t seem to rate Puscas.
