top 2 go up last time i looked its best to have the top 2 keep winning so a gap between 2nd and 3rd becomes larger.

err SDR upfront could be an option using his pace, something what used to work for us very well back in the prem days with pahars around. Stop messing around with this diamond go back to traditional 442 using width, so many more options we could do and we have the players for it already.

Thats why NA needs to start making a small changes now and again to keep other teams guessing.

LOL we never learn

i predicted 3-1 but would of rather have us score 3 first now i'll be a 40 min nervous wreck.

I've always said that he isnt a winger and that his best position is playing off the striker and now we can all see that he should remain there. Connolly was great for us at the start of the season but in the last handful of games he hasnt been the same, passes have gone stray and when tackled he doesnt fight to get it back. Gullys knee is a slight problem atm so i wouldnt start him against Coventry, i think SDR should come in and play off the striker but have Gully on the bench. We should win on Saturday by the way we are playing so no need to risk players who are not 100% fit. I'd also rest Hammond if not suspended? as he's not looked all that much recently. Chappers, Morgan, Cork, Lallana, with SDR and Lambo upfront, theres goals there if you ask me.

get cork on to waste some time and close shop

i was about to say whoever scores first will win this, nice one chappers!

Id play Morgan instead of Hammond, he seems to have lost it in the last few games. Id also be tempted to play De Ridder just behind Lambert if Gully isnt fit, DC took the goal well but did nothing apart from giving the ball away a few times. But if we play like we did in the first half we should be ok

Should of given De Ridder a chance upfront would of given thier defence hell with his pace.

This is what i think also, Morgan is so much better than Hammond not sure why NA plays him all the time but as you've already said cant grumble being 2-0 up against 3rd.

Forte has alwats been sh*te, never rated him never will but all players probably knew that as a club we're only interested in one thing..Promotion. De ridder might have been poor today but i think him playing off the attacker is where he is best, to use his pace and his ability to run at the defence. He might of also been instructed not to get booked or injured so as a player your not going to have a good game are you? I think one good thing has come out of this, some of our youngers seem very good indeed, JWP and Morgan sounded good together. Roll on Saturday!

Tbh dont care if we win or lose tonight as long as Morgan and cork dont get injured, as they will both be needed for saturdays game.

well it has been all Reading, we need to sort it out away from home, same tactics playing home and away does not always work.... Good Ridder is on! now lets use his pace.

martin on, nice change but id like to see ridder on for connolly

missing de riddler and morgan i think should of also played a 451 this would of stopped thier midfield

omg sooo close

we're missing cork in the middle, he's had a great game

Stange why he didnt place Harding at left back and move Fox up to left midfield, and no pace up front, i would of stuck with De Ridder he did ok against Watford.

I dought he'll make the bench unless there are injuries. Bart (gk) Martin (def) Morgan + Chappers (good midfield subs to have) De Riddler (mid/fwd with pace), he doesnt bring anything new to the team and with the limit of subs its best to have ppl on the bench which can change or cover a few different areas. This new league sub ruling is crap imo why bring it to these leagues and not the prem is really strange, it should be a min of 5 subs is a must max of 7 subs but with one spot to be awarded to a youngster to help future development.

Just got in nice scoreline so far whats De Riddler playing like?

Always gonna be a hard game this and i thought we might lose this one, for me i would of played Ridder for his pace and catch them on the counter attack.

Ekelund

id play martin, first game against leeds did well, only one error and they only scored in the 90th? through a iffy penalty. New guy probably needs to get settled.

Be good to see Hoskins and Reeves have a little go.
