Don't really give a f uck who plays where, what I want is a 25% in improvement across the board from the last game, and for them to start believing in themselves as much as we believe in them( mostly !!)
Start getting ruthless and and nasty and make teams fear coming to play us at home, get stuck in hard and get stuck early,
Crack on

[KevC59]

Was going to put Field in he’s been very good last few games maybe Amos gives us a little bit more in going forward, would really like to see us go for it , so either of the 2 would be good , but really think we need to start 2 up front show some intent

Field has been one of our best players in recent games. He’s like our Busquets just shields the back 4 and does the simple thing. Personally I would put Dozzell in with him. I think Amos goes missing and Stef is hit and miss but unfortunately more miss lately. My line up:-
Marshall
Dickie, Dunne, Barbet
Uncs, Field, Dozzell, Stef, Wallace
Willock
Austin

To be honest it could be Dykes or Austin however I think Austin is more clinical whereas Dykes is more mobile. Could be either of them or drop Stef and play them both.

Score Prediction:- 3-1 (it would be lovely to hammer a team for once. Always a nail biter with our boys)

Not feeling confident at all. We haven't beaten them in last 6 meetings and after Tuesday's feeble showing I can't see us putting a halt to that run today. They have a lot of absentees but that masks fact that they DO have Ejaria, Swift, Joao and Puscas - players who will pounce on anything slack or loose.

Unfortunately, I believe we will be in trouble if Stef plays. He's not making enough forward or incisive passes but too often rolling the ball back to defenders who frankly don't want it. Reading will press and pounce on that sort of play and hustle us into mistakes.

Obviously I'd like to have egg on my face at 5pm following a resounding win and Stef MoM performance but right now I'm finding it hard to see that outcome.

[Rebel R's]

Never confident when we are at home to a struggling team and expected to win,and after Tuesday's limp performance I expect another 0-0 today

[Shania]

Sanderson instead of Dickie.

I agree ! Not feeling it at all today!
should have bought some attacking options in after Tuesday! Appreciate deals don't happen overnight but looking at the fixtures we have we should have bought some in to keep up with the teams above us! Without chair and gray we are very light up top and struggle to create chances ! Can see a 0-0 today or them stealing a 0-1 ! Hopefully I'm wrong but just can't see where the goals come from

Bad feeling about today, 0-3, sorry about that.... They have class players back from AFCON, back from injury etc, and we are goal shy, strikers out of form, no pace Willock apart. I would take another draw, but fear less...

[Dono77]

Sanderson instead of Dickie.

Agree on this. Dickie looked well off the pace on Tuesday night. Give the guy a rest. A lot of expectation on his shoulders because of how well he started the season and he's looked like he's feeling the pace of games coming thick and fast. Sanderson hasn't come to sit and watch either.

[KevC59]

It's a tricky one, but at some point we have to put a commanding performance in, remains to be seen if it's today, but ever the optimist I'm going 2-0, Willock to have a stormer
