Any ideas on away pubs, can't wait for this one.

Considering the tired legs today at the end of the game if I was RM I would definitely make a couple of changes with some of the more serious opponents coming up soon.

------------------------------- Fisher -----------------------------
----- Latibeaudiere ----- Naughton ----- Cabango ----------
Joseph---------------------- Downes ------------------ Ogbeta
------------ Ntcham ---------------------- Congreve ----------
------------------ Piroe --------------- Obafemi ---------------

Ideally I would have wanted to give either Piroe or Obafemi a breather but with playoffs still a possibility and having dropped two points today we can only go for it. If we end up a couple of goals up then we can pull one off and stop them getting a hat trick as usual. With three games in a week all against playoff/promotion contenders next week our big hitters could all do with a rest in my opinion.

It does however show how light we are in the attacking sense and where our recruitment priorities need to lie in the summer.

Reading scoring a winner in injury time will mean they’ll be coming into Mondays game with some optimism

After today's results, if ever a game had draw written all over it.

You know we're going to win, they'll tease us with a last gasp play off hope, clinging onto it until the fat lady finally starts to sing

Not much going on in the way of squad rotation.

 

[bakajack]

Just the one change? Surprising considering how tired some of our players looked against Barnsley.

 

[Swanjaxs]

Nathanael Ogbeta drops from bench duty, could this turn out to be another monumental fùckup of a transfer...

 

[Swanjaxs]

Kevin Friend reffing too, could this be the day we get a spot kick...
