Team v Reading

[BallyPNE]

Rudd
Clarke Bauer Davies Hughes
Pearson Gallagher
Bodin Browne Maguire
Nugent
​

Not really much to change from Leeds. Don't feel we need Potts to start as the press wont be as important at home. Can see Nugent being left out, 2 games in 4 days might be too much for him? But if not, I'd have him in

I haven't spoke too highly about Clarke of late but he's done nothing wrong in the last 2 games to warrant getting dropped (Until the fish comes back that is)

What's the time frame for DJ coming back from injury?

[OB1]

Depends how pooped the players are, and whether AN views this or Boro as the greater challenge
If the players aren’t to fatigued, I’d go with that, and if they are

Nope, both finished their suspension

 

[SuffolknWhat]

At the moment I can't have Bodin over either Barky or Maguire.
Has tricks these two don't have yes but is a 60 mins at best player who does little defensively.
If they are all recovered its same11 as v Leeds for me.

 

[Ando60]

We owe Reading - they have got a bit of a hoodoo over us at the moment

Maguire is not good enough at this level, he needs dropping

 

[SuffolknWhat]

And Bodin has done what exactly to show he is?
Odd flashes and lots of nothing

 

[Lapland White]

I'd stick with team that started yesterday but swap Nugent for Stockley and Gally for Potts.

There were some extremely exhausted players in that dressing room last night. I expect squad rotation and 4 or 5 changes v Reading , and the same again v Boro.

If Nugent not fit enough to start front 4 of:

Exhausted players? they are supposed to be athletes, we used to go out on the beer days before xmas then all day xmas day and boxing day then play on the 27th, yes we were gosed afterwards but we still got out for a few, then a night club plus pull a bird and then play footy again a couple of days later, jesus they are fussed over - tired???? well really.

I don't reckon you played as well as they did though to be fair. For what it's worth squad rotation isn't because players are tired in the sense that you're tired after a long hard day, but because overuse of muscles can risk injuries even if the muscles don't really hurt. The players will want to play and will probably be feeling okay, but there's no point playing them and risking injuries just cause some whining wanker on a pne forum thinks that 'real men' would do.

The first suggestion you make is fine though Barkhuizen seemed pretty tired at the end of last night and Bodin, Potts or Maguire - if not also tired - could play on the right of the 3. If Nugent is a bit jaded then Stockley must come in.

barky should have come off 20 mins sooner.
He had given his all as usual but was out on his feet.

Yes - bit odd that AN, who can be very proactive with substitutions, should have held back when two sets of fresh legs were obviously needed. I still cannot fathom how people can suggest or more pertinently AN actually select Barkhuizen as centre forward - he just gets knocked off the ball all the time. Nugent showed what is required last night and Stockley is nowhere near the immobile lump some present him as. If neither of those were to be available then Potts at least has the physique and Bodin the close control. I must admit the idea that we could get Robinson back for half-a-season does look increasingly interesting. But we shall find out in due course.

Barky up front seems to be all you post about at the moment- hopefully it goes the way of "Huntington is just not good enough for this level and should be sold" and you admit to being proved wrong eventually

your continued loathing of Barkhuizen knows no bounds!!!!!!!
