No hector as we can only have a maximum of 5 loanees in the squad and Clarke probably feels having a centre back on the bench is for cover in case of injury so no harm putting cooper there and allowing John/Fernandez to come in and change the game if needed
Surprised no one has praised taylor yet. Thought he was excellent. Reminded me a bit of Chris Armstrong in his reading the game and doing the simple things right.
As a player Id like to keep but we cannot justify the wages he's on unfortunately. Would be great to see him team up with someone with a bit of pace beside.
Either way he'll be forever known as the man who set up our Wembley goal.

Bit late but good result on tuesday. Was set to be the most boring game ever until we scored then we got it together a bit. WE've certainly got some very good footballers but theyre just lacking a bit of self-belief it seems. Williams and ferdinand both really added something to the team. Was partic...
That convey goal against millwall is certainly the best counter attacking goal ive seen at reading. Never forget it. It was early in the season but goal was the 'wow we have a very strong team this year, we could win this' moment. Having said that I seem to remember in the forster-hughes era a count...
Feds 7 - could do nothing about the goals. Did well and showed safe hands the rest of the game Gunter 5 - How shaky does he look right now?! To be fair he was up against sako today who is an absolute beast but it worries me that our current captain looks devoid of any confidence Hector 6 - Took his...

I'd love to see a left back to give Obita a chance at LW. Unless he desperately wants to play midfield, I'd leave Obita at LB. He shone at left back in the second half of last season, whereas in the first half of the season at left wing he didnt really stand out as much. He could develop into a rea...
I dont personally think we need a striker. Especially as NA only insists on playing one and we have Pog, Murray and Cox. A left back is definately needed. A left mid would be handy but I cant see NA doing it atm as he seems happy with Taylor/Edwards filling in till some of the others come back. He l...
Really well said. Strange how his worry is left midfield when we have mackie, blackman, HRK, mccleary, edwards and tanner who can all play there though? Left back is the worry but we can only hope NA is looking for loans. Edwards is a right winger. McCleary is a right winger. Tanner is a forward. M...
lol Cooper has only played 8 mins of football in the Championship - how can you say "he has been fine"* :lol: Ferdinand hasn't played at all and Hector is better in midfield than he is in defence. *please don't say cos of the game against a poor League One side Hector isn't better in midf...
