Dellor starts well by saying we're playing Cardiff

NewCorkSeth OK well. To say it again, as I did during the Derby game and many times since, lets protect Joao. He doesn't have to start and probably shouldn't. I know everyone is a bit 'meh' on Puscas right now but he is a good player who has unfortunately been tainted by a high transfer fee and an inability to replicate the things that make Joao so important.

I think we are somewhat fortunate in the fact that set pieces are proving to be very important to us right now so perhaps the demands on our front line to be free scoring are somewhat reduced and, given the ability of both Ejaria and Olise to win fouls, we could be looking at a more comfortable game to bring Puscas back into the fold.

What I dont want to see, and it is something Bowen often did, is Puscas play 60 minutes where the ball is never genuinely given to him in a goal scoring manner, only for him to be hooked off for Baldock who will only offer the same sort of play up front.

Reckon we have to go for the same team and formation with Watson in for Araruna (sorry but he is a RB and we need a RB) and Puscas in for Joao.

I dont think too much fiddling right now would be smart. The team has done well at grinding down opponents and think a change in formation might distract from the "good time" feeling the squad will have.

I'd rather we played Holmes at right back and just have him as a defensive RB, sit deep and help cope with Watford's obvious attacking threat. Watson is just not good enough, he will cost us goals.

Right again.

Puscas started well. Looking very vulnerable down the flanks. Watford using a lot of width and already put in some dangerous crosses from their left wing.

Pretty much as expected, high tempo threat from Watford while Reading are currently struggling to put anything of note together. So your standard home performance really.

That was gorgeous play from Meite and a good effort from Olise, just too high.

Yaks does really well and Olise not far away at all.

Don't know what Morrison could have done about that handball decision, good thing it was outside the box.

Any neutral/first timer might just say "that Aluko looks a decent player". Some lovely touches from him so far.
