I thought Sterling would at least be on the bench or is he injured .

The Reading keeper is absolutely pony. If we can get shots off, we'll score. I imagine Reading fans are saying similar things about our keeper. I don't think they will be. If it was Bursik in goal then fair enough but I don't think they'd say it about Bonham. I doubt many have heard of Jack Bonham.

Thompson also Clucas in because we basically don’t have any left sided players Thompson over Clucas surely, mick? Why, Thompson is crap.

Neither have have/had that…… He's just one of those players managers like and fans don't. Nearly every team has one. I actually thought he was ok against Swansea. He will be on the bench once Laurent is fit.

Radio Stoke and Sentinel both think it's Brown and Fosu wing-backs. In that case it's definitely a back 4

Fucking nora (excuse my language)
I was wishing Clucas my best wishes a few days ago ahead of his Preston move. I was delighted!
He’s still here?!?

Dropping Taylor is disgraceful. No it isn't, no player should be undroppable

Dropping Taylor is disgraceful. Why? I think he's slow and not very good in the air. He isn't anywhere near good enough.

If it is 3 at the back Fox and Fosu are gonna get skinned alive on that left side.
I'm hoping its a back 4.

That midfield just looks a mess, again.
Sure Neil has a plan for it but it looks very unbalanced again on paper.

I'm as disappointed as anyone to see Clucas starting but some people need to give the manager a break.
Powell is only returning, killkenny is injured, Laurent is injured etc..
It was between Clucas, Sparrow and Thompson. I'd probably have went Thompson myself but can see why the manager would maybe take Clucas.
I think if Clucas is starting in a few weeks when the above return then understandably people can vent their frustration. For now we've just got to grim and bear it and offer our support to the players on the pitch.
If he has a bad game at least we have options on the bench to change things around.

Because he's better than Clucas He's not though. Clucas may not be the best player on the planet but when playing well he offers a lot more than Thompson, good or bad day Thompson offers nothing.

It's clear the manager doesn't rate Thompson as a holding midfielder by his comments on Friday and his team selection these last 2 games.
He won't get a look in when the injuries clear up.

Dropping Taylor is disgraceful. Is it, he was awful in the first game Neil has managed, it's not a surprise, maybe he doesn't think he's ready. Didn't play well and cost us a goal, no surprise

O’Neil picks that team and formation and it’s crucification time on here as I said I’d expect to go back before forwards

What did he say? Said he didn't like playing Baker as the deepest midfielder but he was the best option as the other midfielders weren't suited.
