Ozil taken off at half-time yesterday against Brighton for 'tactical reasons'. Tactical reasons = lazy sod who disappears in every game which requires hard work but is still happy to collect £350k per week????

Burge, 7 - one great save and dealt with everything that he should have. Better decision making today when leaving the box. Poor distribution though, thought this had been improving lately, hopefully just a blip. Sterling, 8 - our best player, confident and intelligent defending, always looks...

Another option for Southend is to push Sterling further up the pitch to replace Thomas and bring Grimmer in. Sterlinjg has enough to operate more like a winger at this level and, to be honest, probably has a better cross on him than Thomas.

He's class, uses intelligence to buy time for the defence to organise when jockeying attackers and always a threat going forward. On most of his runs Charlton covered him with 2 players, if that is repeated against other teams we should take advantage of the space it should create for others.

Agree, despite wanting to see Allassani start too I think the known quantity of Kelly/Doyle, with Bayliss pushed out wider will be how we line up if Doyler is fit.

It would be good to keep the team as consistent as possible following the Charlton game, I thought we played with a bit more creativity and thought into attacks without JCH, although he does offer a bit more defending corners and set pieces. I would like to see Allassani starting and keeping...

Hilarious!! You mention those 3 challenges but not the most obvious red which was the one on Chaplin late in the 2nd half!

Are the pies at Reading nice?

From what the Walsall fans have been saying on their forum Cook is suspended in the FA Cup not the league.

It was enough to give me palpitations!!!!

Good work!

Bedworth branch of Sports Direct?

Has anyone seen the story that Mike Ashley is looking to buy a fallen Midlands giant if he can sell Newcastle! Surely not.....................

Wasps have already increased the value of the Ricoh in their accounts, off the top of my head they value it around £65m. If CCFC were ever in a position to buy 50% the negotiations would start around that figure, anything less and they would have to show a loss in their accounts.

Twice!

Were the Nolan Sisters another version with Kevin being the shittest one?

I'm praying Joey Barton does all interviews in a french accent!

Proof of funds (even if they would never be used) is one thing. Having a site, planning permission and a shit load of builders building a stadium is another!

That's the challenge! If the club has the fear of not being able to stay at the the Ricoh they should have been in dialogue with the EFL about a solution over a year ago, not 6 months before they become homeless.

Thomas also needs to put the ball in a lot quicker, he seems to hesitate and take a couple of extra steps that gives defenders a chance to block or cut off men in the box. Like his pace and keenness to keep pushing forward at pace.
