I personally normally like a settled back five and we have largely had this in recent times - only the right back slot has really altered and you cna normallt name the back five of Murphy, Christie, Wood, Edge & Adams. However I was disappointed with the defending last night and we have been...

I have seen some on here that still do not think we have the best strength in depth of all the league 1 sides..... a bench of Dunn Clarke Cameron Bailey Barton Elliot Leon Clarke .......clearly proves that we have look very strong on paper compared to our league 1 rivals. Just hope we have a...

.....and in the case of some the message you got us in this mess......last chance to get us out. I would pick our most experienced team on paper......this would shake things up a little bit and maybe see how many of them genuinely care about staying at club........I would line up...

Is he still injured? If so how long is he out for? From the games I have been to we are definitely missing him giving our current crop of rubbish. Carries far more attacking threat than say Baker......though sadly nowadays I also have to say also McSheffrey! He also has more quality on the...

At least players from the sounds of it displayed how they have been performing all season and did not pick up to pull the wool over Mark Robin's eyes! This in the long term could be a good thing. Mark Robins is a tough bugger and I am sure he will cut the deadwood or give them a damn good...

Just recovered from that performance. Very little positives to take from it bar the result. Positives As I rightly thought when arguing with others Thorn picked arguably the strongest xi at his disposal We got the all important win! Defence looked pretty solid Negatives No speed in our play...

Hi All, Work in London so planning to get to this one should be a good curtain raiser to hopefully a good campaign. Just wondering how many of us are heading to Dagenham? Hoping we at least get to round 2 this year!

I said I would start to judge/panic around the end of June......so let's look at where we are currently factually ignoring any speculation. Goalies: Murphy, Dunn Right Back: Clarke/Christie Centre Backs: Wood/Cameron/Keogh Left Backs: Kilbane/Hussey Left Mid: McSheffrey Right Mid...

"They have a "wealth" of depth and are miles ahead of us......" "Steve Simonsen brilliant much better then Murphy"....recent comments from posters. I disagree with these points but I may be wrong...let's take a look at the news. Sheff Utd release 11 in a bit to half the wage bill for...

I can understand an air of panic but people on here are becoming slightly to prone to panic as we are nowehere near the beginning of next season!!! A lot has to happen between now and then, the first of which is finding out realistically which players out of contract are willing to stay and...

Even premier league sides are restricted next season to naming 25 players! I am seeing some posters on here stating we should sign 18,,,,,,which would take us up to a bout a 45 man squad in league 1 as cannot see many leaving! Current Squad Goalkeepers (3) Joe Murphy - Might go but under...

A bit of me think that following injuries and award we should pitch him in as his confidence is high. However I am not entirely sure where he fits into team and what his best position is, there seems to be a lot of conflicting views on this? Can he fit into a standard 4-4-2 if so where? Can...

Ha Baker made it into the start xi the bloke is totally and utterly useless! :( Clingan, Thomas, Christie, McDonald......all should have started ahead of him!!:facepalm: Can someone explain why he starts ahead of those and why he is better? I sincerely hope however he makes me eat my words and...

Not amongst us fans who I thought were fantastic on the day......but more worrying perhaps from the players. I thought the majority just seemed to be going through the motions yesterday......with maybe the exceptio of Nimely & Keogh. I find this type of disply frustrating when you are...

Despite recent last minute heartbreaks have booked tickets for Reading away game. I have never been to Madjeski before and have a few questions. a. Are we bringing a lot of fans? At one stage it was touted that loads were going? Was not the impresion I got from guy selling tickets though...

Hi All, With Clingan speculation just wondered if anyone knew if he had travelled with squad tonight yet? I think he is one of our most expendable players but on the flip side would be nice to name unchanged xi after performance against Middlesbrough! Cheers PUSB

Looking at 16 selected yesterday and comparing to Middlesboro I thought our 16 looked stronger? I certainly think we now have a squad of mid-table standard if they stay injury free - I did not think we were worst even before new additions? Considering that McPake, Bigi, Hussey & arguably...

If it is £2m for a journeyman forward I do not think that is bad business I suppose time will only tell! He has played every minute virtually and has nine goals which is not fantastic, he has undoubtedly cost us about nine points this year due to poor finishing missed penalties...reading at...

I understand many people's frustration with Eastwood. However given our striker shortage he is at least worhty of a place on the bench imo. If Juke is fit then Sheff and him should start up top & Eastwood and maybe ROD should both be on bench as offer something different. If Juke & Platt...

Merry Christmas to all long suffering sky blues. Don't know why but I am strangely optimistic about Bristol City & Brighton games. For Christmas lets try to forget all the negativity off the field and really get behing the boys on it. Speaking of which what are people thoughts on team for...
