Hopefully Denham replaces NG and I'd start with Etete up front

I agree with Denham replacing NG. However, I think Morison will feel Etete hasn't had enough time to familiarise himself with the setup yet.

I can see Philogene getting some game time.

I would rather Ralls and Nelson were not on the pitch at the same time.

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

Nelson may have to start but I am worried. Don’t ask him to play out from the back as Morison is urging them to do.

Totally agree. Surprised Nelson survived the clear out

Man's talking to himself here.

Would not start Ralls. Looked way off the pace when he came on last Saturday.

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.

New ‘spine’ today ?

Could start McGuinness…Ralls …and Etete today ?
I assume McGuiness was suspended on Saturday, I think he’ll be one of the first names on the sheet this term.

Who would you drop in order to start Ralls?

Ralls looked way off the pace when he came on against Norwich.

I didn’t say I would….but he is our captain….and Morrison obviously likes him,

Sorry mate…it won’t happen again !

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 McGuiness will be an improvement on the suspended Ng. I'm not so sure Ralls should start considering how effective last week's midfield combination proved to be. I'm hoping Etete plays some part today but I'm guessing it might be from the bench.
