I said he was on loan to someone in asda the other day having a chat and they corrected me then!!! My bad.

Weren't all the loan players available involved? We had Vydra and Taylor in the starting 11 with Piazon and Fernandez on the bench. The only loanees not involved were Hector and John, both of whom were unavailable. I wouldn't see that as any great change in approach (if that's what you were implyin...

Clarke said he fancied going with Hector and Taylor starting as they were in the back 4 which played so well against Brighton.

Said anton is a bit older and takes longer with his warm up so cooper would be ready quicker if needed to come on as a sub.

I think they're doing a special function / thing with some ex-players and staff tonight. A few have been invited to the game this evening.

Looks like it's done:

But still, 'tis interesting.

I guess the speculation is going to be like this all week.

I never spoke out negatively about the various signings we've made as I trust the scouting networking here and the hit rate is always fairly positive for "hidden gems" from lower leagues. I always wait to see what happens before casting a judgement - it's human nature to spout out knee-jer...

1-0 Reading. We'll absorb pressure for the majority of the game, and nick a smash and grab winner scored by..... Karacan.
