I'm going 442:
Gunn,Smith,Collins,Soutter,Fox Clarke, Clucas, Cousins, McClean Vokes Fletcher
Go direct, go long.
I'm labouring under the feint chance that Vokes will come good in a two. Cousins to sit, Sam to get forward. IMO we simply dont have have the personnel to play any other system and be effective going forward.

We definitely need Smith at right back so we have some outlet on the right.

If Brown or Thompson play any part then we will not win.

A genuine old fashioned 442 with wide players. A throwback to TP, as for me it's the best system we have with the players available.

I fear the worst against Reading, even tho' we beat them 3-0 last time out. I fully expected Swansea to be in the top three but totally misjudged Reading. I expected them to quickly fall down the table after their great start. John O Shea is doing a very good job as first team coach. Will be interesting to see how we set up to cope with them.

Play Shawcross with Souttar and Collins in a back three. ShawX can give us a height weapon, both in attack and defence. Smith and Fox on the flanks. Cousins and Allen in the middle. Clarke, Rabbi and Fletcher in attack. Davies keeps goal. ShawX or Cousins to man mark Lucas Joao. Allen as playmaker. Subs (from): Brown, Baath, Thompson, McClean, Tymon, "Joe" D-Margio, Gunn, Tashan, Mikel, Clucas. If we do not beat Reading today, then frankly I see our playoff hopes further diminish. With the new acquisitions, I wonder if MON will chance it and throw them into the fray. We must beat Reading.

Let's face it,MON will pick a side not to lose,can't see Reading not scoring,so whoever he picks,we will need to score 2 or more to win this. Fletcher needs to play the full 90mins. or we can kiss the 3pts.goodbye.

Powell out, one of the main sources of goals. If Fletcher pulls a muscle we're screwed. Great window lads.
