442 for me all day long. Davies needs a sit down and a talking to. Hes a good keeper on form and with confidence. McCarthy and Yids are the best fullbacks in South Yorkshire. Jackson and Lindsay need to start creating a consistent partnership because Angus is inconsistent and certainly not captain material. The midfield is Jeckyll and Hyde. Every. Single. Game. There is no 'anchor'. Yes it hurt when Conor left but to lose Scowen destroyed that old midfield and it needs sorting. Bradshaw is a good finisher and needs to play alongside Thiam or Ugbo, or failing that, a new striker in Jan because we are so powderpuff up front. There. Ive had my 2 penneth.
Jackson is out injured for months... You’re not wrong on Scowen. It’s a shame it was left late to offer him a deal...
People saying we can't play two up top because of this or that, and maybe we only looked better second half tonight because Reading were already 2 up. Who knows? Main thing is we were better. Let's not worry about the why's and what fors and get straight into Bolton on Saturday in a positive fashion. Let's go and get that first goal rather than them and not go hoping that they're worse than us.
Bolton have the duel threat of Adam Armstrong and Gary Madine. I love Hecky. We’ll learn a lot about his credentials as a manager for how he sets up and motivates this team against a relegation rival. We beat Birmingham. We beat Burton. We beat Sunderland. We know the players have it in them. Can Hecky get it out of them after 3 losses on the bounce.
