    Good Morning Everyone,

    The U21's suffered a rare home defeat at the hands of Ipswich.

    Frank Mulhern’s second-minute header cancelled out by Shane McLaughlin. Then James Alabi scored a late winner for the tractor boys.

    Both Murphy and Sloth played in the game, which is probably why Dawson was left on the bench.

    Dawson needs some first team action away from Elland Road, agree?



    When Murphy does return from injury, should he go straight into the side, if so, at who's expense?



    Does anyone else think we have got a steal with Cardiff's on loan midfielder Tom Ayeyemi? A one million price tag seems very reasonable indeed.



    A number of Bundesliga clubs are also interested in Rudy Austin. Did we let him go to soon?



    Leicester City defender Liam Moore is about to go out on loan to a Championship club.

    The 22 year old can play at centre back or right back. Would he improve the team?

    Good morning Matt and co from a very sunny Bardsey
    Lee Erwin had a game as well yesterday how did he play
    If Moore comes on loan he will replace Bellusci and will he improve us I think so it will show that we are trying for a top6 place at least
    P see Lansbury is heading to Burnley for £4m so they are after the pot of gold again
    Dawson needs to go out on loan
    I agree Ayeyemi is a steal at that money once he is match fit he will be awesome

    Firstly: Liam Moore is he the huge defender?

    Last nights defeat wasn't good but I got the impression we were all over them and had a keeper in form. I'm more interested in how Sloth, Murphy and Erwin played. Murphy and Erwin did an hour or so each and it seems the we got beaten after their departure. Dawson got half hour and went on for Philips I think.

    Ayemyi has promise as do many of our squad but we need them to take this chance with both hands and if they do we will have a good go this season. Rosler was there last night looking at his charges.

    Has the new academy coach been announced yet?

    I'm sorry to say this because I know you like him but to me he is the weakest link and I would be very surprised if he played at Reading.If we are to make a fist of it we need another CB Moore would be ideal

    Morning Doc, Moore is 6 foot 1, not huge huge...

    I feel sorry for Sloth. He has not had a proper opportunity

    Amazing the step up when you think Moore would not be good enough for the Prem, but so many Championship clubs are after him.

    Sloth is an international and has played away from his native Denmark for ages, so must be used to it by now. he has played at every level of international in Denmark from kids through to the full national team. I am saying he is good enough for us if given a chance.

    How did Sloth, Erwin and Murphy do last night, looks like twitter will have to tell me.

    Sloth played the whole 90 minutes the others played about an hour I have this feeling that Sloth maybe off loaded as he doesn;t seem to fit in with Roslers plans

    Morning all, watched the game last night and not that impressed to be honest. Erwin seems as bad in the air as Doukara, hope he gets some game time at Donny to have another look at him. Murphy looked ok but his passing was off at times but i suppose it's his first game, same as most of the lads. Dawson looked lively when he came on. Sloth ok but not good enough to get in the first team. A solid perfomance from most of the players but no one really stood out for me.
    There's another 21s game live on LUTV later this month so i will watch that to see if there's any improvement.

    Morning all

    thoughts on Moore....

    if we get the Serb lad and Moore move Berardi to LB and let's him duke it out with Taylor for the 1st choice left back spot. Play Moore in RB and then you've got Bamba, Serb, Bellusci, Cooper and Wootton in the CB positions. Then that killed two birds with one stone.

    It's time to cut ties with Dawson. Thank you very much but you've had enough chances with us. There's the door collect your P45.

    Morning all.. I think it is too early to judge the players after just one game, we have had new players get off to a flying start far too many times only to falter badly away.

    I certainly don't want to see a RB playing at LB and a predominant CB playing RB that is just going back to square pegs round holes. I don't believe for a moment we are after both, the Spurs lad will only join if we guarantee the club he will get game time...

    If Murphy comes back into the team I would imagine it will be for Ayeyemi. Sad to hear Erwin is another who can't jump, as for Dawson it surely says something about his ability when so many coaches fail to give him a run in the first team.

    Wolves may seem harsh, but loads on here are wanting/expecting Dawson to be the next big deal after his breakthrough season a couple of years ago. He got a bad injury and really hasn't made it back yet, but we're all willing him to. Maybe we should cut the knot as we know what happens when this goes on for too long, look at Aidy White we were all willing him on but .....

    In an ideal world I would like to bring in players in the right position but we've got 20 days to bring 3/4 or 5 players. Moore can play RB and Beradi can play LB if needed. I'm sure we are looking at multi players across these positions.

    also I would be more comfortable with a young striker a la Poleon or Grella in the team just in case we get a couple of strikers injured
