A1ndy only 1 striker available of suitable quality, and Chelsea and Everton in the next 7 days. - Totally disagree with you on this one, Shane Long showed last season and throughout pre season that he can score goals. Himself and Doyle will be very effective against chelsea, Everton.
Although todays performance wasnt pretty, it shows we can defend and keep 100% concerntration throughout which is something were going to need this season.

cmonurz As for 'we won't play like that every week' - that it of course true. Or at least would be if we had some striking options on the books.

premiership_bound I am amazed that Kitson hasn't been sent off more. He does those type of tackles nearly every game.
Unlucky that he missed the ball and that Styles is a oxf*rd.

You forget Doyle, Long, Cox and (ahem) Seol can play there.
Long is more than up to the job now. He will work his balls off and sparkle. He will get better with games.
Cox has proven he can shine against lower league opposition, why not give him a go?
Seol played there a couple of times last season, and he was OK, not world class but is he ever? Move Oster to the right (I rate Oster, btw) and wack him up front if 2 strikers are needed.
Doyle doesn't need explaining.
Kitson maybe able to get away with it in an appeal.. you never know.

Should we really be 'giving players a go, you never know' when we want to stay in the Premiership? Seol is a winger, his appearances up front for Reading have been poor. We have 3 strikers, only 1 of which is Premiership quality.

Seol didn't do too bad from what I remember TBH!

Yorkshire Royal Btw.. Seol was pretty rubbish today wasn't he? Really thought he would give it a real go this season.. Still wouldn't boo him though, but I think we REALLY needs a new right wing...

cmonurz Some of you lot need to get over this 'little club' outlook and look at the fact that for the second season in a row we have been completely and utterly outclassed by Manchester United. Sure, we would expect to lose, but wasn't it 2 attempts on goal last season (in the 1-1 draw)?
Shots on goal today was 21 to 3 in United's favour. We posed no threat whatsoever, now have only 1 striker available of suitable quality, and Chelsea and Everton in the next 7 days.
Predictable whinging about the referee, who did nothing wrong.
0-0 is a great result, but a freak result. Play like that for the rest of the season and we will go down.
