Zip Awaits OMA’s latest glowing reference for the match official

Andy Woolmer isn't worthy of being insulted. He is that low down.

Snowflake Royal Got to be unchanged unless Joao, Yiadom or Ejaria return from injury.

This but also keen to see how many defenders we can play.


..........................Cabral
..........Miazga, Morrison, McIntyre
Osho,................ Moore, ..........Richards
..................Rinomhota, Obita
.....................Puscas, Meite

Subs: Walker, Blackett, Gunter.. etc etc.

Don't see the point in changing keepers after keeping 3 successively clean sheets.

Perfect. We might want to consider playing Blackett as a striker as our commentary duo insist he would excel at.

Yep, keep the same keeper but change the other 10 as suggested to:

.......................... Rafael
..........Matt, Michael, Tom
Gabriel,................ Liam, ..........Omar

Hound Yep with the majority - normally I’d say mix it around, give some minutes to the fringe players, try out some new ideas etc

But not against Colin and no doubts he’ll be at his absolute worst

Still reckon we’ll probably lose: the home form is a real worry



Absolutely, and I am sure Colin wouldn’t want us to call in to question the integrity of the Championship by playing a team full of young inexperienced and fringe squad players lacking first team fitness levels in a game that will have such significance for the other teams at the foot of the table too. No, Colin is big on integrity and playing by the rules, and he would hate it if we devalued the competition in that way.

I'm going to assume people are on the windup not knowing that our keeper is called Rafael Cabral.

Think that Tom is eligible. Lucky I didn't name one of our Sams (Baldock in goal and Walker up front?) or Lucases.

Yes, listening to them on Saturday you would think he had been a star for us and could almost fit in anywhere.
Get used to it,he is going and will soon be an ex-player and IMHO warrants something like a 5/10 for his time with us.

What's Ejaria's injury like? Is he out for the rest of the season?

I think it could be a blessing in disguise if he is, he looked jaded at times. Have an extended break and come back fresh for next season might be the best thing for him.

Losing his form. Can happen to players, especially younger ones. He hasn't performed as he did earlier in the season and maybe the break has made him lose a bit of focus.

I have mentioned the idea of Blackett as trialling CF. He can head the ball, take knocks, isn't slow, is tricky.

Injury update (from Tilehurst End):

Charlie Adam and Ayub Masika missed the game at the weekend with slight niggles, although Mark Bowen could welcome them back in midweek. Andy Yiadom also remains out – and it remains to be seen when Lucas Joao and Ovie Ejaria will return. Pele also has a minor hamstring injury – although we hope his half time substitution at The Valley was only precautionary.

Looking forward to continuing the late charge to the play-offs with a victory tonight.

On behalf of Snowball I'll go back many years to Malcolm MacDonald who converted from left-back to striker and ended up playing there for England.
Unfortunately Blackett is no Malcolm MacDonald and he will be gone in a couple of weeks to play for some team like Rochdale or Oldham perhaps.

My apologies sir but that would be an identical scenario to Blackett moving to striker. I asked him to name a stranger thing.
