Cracking shot, Qwerty. It looks like an impressive thundercloud. Have you got storms over there? Come on you Saints! I'm not confident but I am not unconfident (I'm not sure that's a word) either. It is as it is. I'll settle for a draw.
Starting XI: Davis. Butterfield, Fonte, Hooiveld, Fox. Chaplow, Hammond(c), Cork, Lallana. Sharp, Lambert Subs: Richardson, Harding, Guly, Martin and De Ridder And who said Hammond and Chaplow should start today? I did.
Reading Starting XI: Federici; Cummings, Pearce, Gorkss, Harte; Kebe, Mullins, Tabb, McAnuff; Hunt, Roberts. Reading Subs: McCarthy, Gunnarsson, Afobe, Church, Le Fondre. NO LEIGERTWOOD OR KARACAN (both regular centre mids) - Deano and Jack need to grab hold of the middle early.
I have full faith in NA, but I'm struggling to understand how a second full back on the bench could be a more useful option than Puncheon, Barnard, Falque etc. ?
It seems slightly odd. As, although not great, Harding can fill in at RB if needed. The other thing is no Guly! Whats going on here then? We know Adkins is a big fan of Guly's, is the crowd pressure getting to him?
Over here in Serbia the match is live on TV - SportKlub - not sure if you can get thet channel in the UK?
I'd suggest it gives us more options if Butterfield picks up a booking or whatever. Also if he is getting run ragged we have more options, and Richardson can sling it in from deep. Clear to see with the line-up we have gone with 2 full-backs who can cross from deep, towards the back post for Rickie Lambert.
Reading have 3 strikers on the bench! I can't take the pressure of all this. I'm going for a run in Central Park (the one in Plymouth, not New York unfortunately).
is it 1945 or 2000 kick off - I cant take the nearve of watching the Sky build up so need to change over til k/o?
I prefer Richardson but Danny's got the nod and should do the job. I'm quite proud of the number of Brits in the Saints team with only Jos and Jose the only one's not from the British Isles.
